I just bought a Cytron Shield-MP3, I attached it to an Arduino Uno board, downloaded the sample code from Robotshop and I get nothing but a humming noise.
I'll describe the steps I took in more details:
- I downloaded the sample code from the Robotshop Shield-MP3 product page: MP3Player, with example PlayASong.ino (this is source code provided by Cytron)
- I added the MP3Player library to the Arduino IDE
- I attached the MP3 shield on the Arduino Uno board
- I set the jumpers on the MP3 shield as follows: SS to D3 and ASD to D2. This matches the code:
- CODE: SELECT_ALL_CODE
MP3Player playerone(3, 2);
- I formatted an SD card to FAT32 and put a short mp3 file on it. The SD card and MP3 file work when I use them on a computer.
- I also put sta013.cfg on the SD card
- I inserted the SD card in the shield, uploaded the code to Arduino
- From debugging I know that the sta013.cfg config file is read, that the mp3 file is opened and read, and that the mp3 data is being transferd to the mp3 chip
I'm out of inspiration as what to do next. I'm have some experience with coding, but little with electronics, so its hard to troubleshoot the electronics part.
