Michael Thessel posts on Imgur about constructing an MP3 participant for young children.
Closing product first. That is a simple to make use of MP3 participant for young children. I made this for my 2 12 months previous for Christmas. Every of the highest 9 buttons will play an album. The black buttons on the underside are prev – play/pause – subsequent. The participant additionally helps another playback mode that may be activated utilizing a particular key mixture. That mixture will flip the buttons into a ten digit enter matrix permitting playback of as much as 99 albums. That method the participant can be utilized by mother and father as effectively. 😉
The challenge was closely impressed by Hoerbert: https://en.hoerbert.com Michael first noticed the Hoerbert at a pals place. With a $400 price ticket, why not spend 50 hrs and $100 to construct ones personal?
The core elements are the Adafruit Music Maker Protect and an Arduino Uno.
The Uno doesn’t have sufficient GPIO to deal with 12 buttons, the amount pot, the Music Maker protect and UART as effectively. Due to that I added 2 shift registers that may deal with 16 inputs and solely want 3 GPIO pins to speak with the Uno. Within the image you solely see 2 buttons as a result of at this level I didn’t have extra buttons at hand.
The code is on GitHub.
