Little Buddy Talker CPP code for Raspberry PI - based on the original Arduino code for the LBT. This just says all the words in the device.

RaspberryPI-LBT.cpp

 * Based on example code found at:

#include <iostream>

#include <wiringPiSPI.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <wiringPi.h>

using namespace std;

static const int CHANNEL = 1;

int value1 = 0x98;  // play command - This value never changes
int value2 = 0;  // voice address - when you place a hex value in this integer and call the "readout()" function, that specific word will play
int value3 = 0xA8;  // COUT ramp up - This value never changes
int value4 = 0xB8;   // COUT ramp down - This value never changes

// ALL OF THE ABOVE CODE IS REQUIRED FOR THE OPERATION OF THE LBT
// value2 and value4 are not used in this example.

unsigned char buffer[20]; //probably a lot more than we need.

int main() {

	wiringPiSPISetup(CHANNEL, 500000);  
	delay(1000);   // One second delay
  
// ramp up Little Buddy Talker

	buffer[0] = value3;
  	wiringPiSPIDataRW(CHANNEL,buffer,2);
	buffer[0] = 0x00;
	wiringPiSPIDataRW(CHANNEL,buffer,2);

for (int i = 0; i <= 254; i++) {
  delay(7);
  // Transmit Data
	buffer[0] = value1;
  	buffer[1] = i;
 	wiringPiSPIDataRW(CHANNEL,buffer,2);   // Send word address and play
	delay(700);             // As soon as the word starts to play, this delay starts.  You need to give the word enough time to play.  Once the delay is done,
  // Another word can be played.  Play around with this delay if you wish.
delay(50);

   }
}

I take that back, the library will need to be re-written for the raspberry pi - it's on my list.
