Adafruit Sound Board Special Effects Project

Building and trying out the Adafruit Audio FX Sound Board. I also added a Adafruit Pro Trinket LiIon/LiPoly Backpack Add-On.

Hi Tom. Great video. In regards to the power, if going the same route as yourself with the LiIon backpack, will this always draw power until dead as there is no on/off switch added?

Think woody Harilson when listening to this guy! HAHAHAHAHA

You can use windows 10, but it just adds a .wav to the file when you already saved it as .wav, giving filename.wav.wav; so you will have to rename the files deleting the first .wav
It is on another youtube video.

i want this build in my star wars blaster . but im a total noob with this.
is it possible to make this working with sound and light on one button?

[whatyoudo]

You helped me get this far due to your vid and i thank you mucho!  Adafruit is a good site but they assume a lot about the customers knowledge, they offer no wiring info, or help on the Audacity site that i could find, so your the hero!  Im just not trying to work out the sound files if  you could offer some more assistance, and i would really like to know what that sound  is your doing....robot walking?  Cant peg it.

Can't you solve the problem of Windows not recognizing the sound board, when LiPo was connected, by installing the switch on the charger board that you mentioned?

[JustinePacion]

how do i get an interrupting effect, like for example when I press trigger 1 and while it is playing I may be able to interrupt it by pressing trigger 2, is this possible ?

[itolond]

is there a board that has only one sound - i was thinking to setup speaker and sound modules and placing them under the layout t create ambient sounds i can run on loop or trigger - 16mb seems overkill for location based ambient sounds?

[DonaldDrennan]

Can it be powered through the USB cable? If you didn't add the battery pack?

Hi!Can it play multiple sounds at same time?

[tieline]

Would it loop the audio file seamlessly?


Let's say I have an audio file that is a 500ms tone of say 200hz end-to-end no silence, just a pure tone. Would it loop the audio file so if I hold down a button for say 10 seconds I hear 10 seconds of 200hz?

hello is there any way I can get a hold of you to talk about this?

[MrHeidyhappy]

Hey, nice work !
I try to do the same (without the backpack) with 2x CR2032 for the battery, and it doesn't work.... the sound stay only 3 seconde before stopping.
Is it because my tension is to high ? I have 6v (2x3v)
I use this item for my batterie:
@t

When I try with an USB cable form my laptop (5v), it work well...

Thx for your help...

I am trying to find a way to put sound into my lightsaber. I was thinking about doing this with the chip in your video and an accelerometer. I see in a comment that this cannot play more than one sound at a time. Do you know of a sound board that is as small as this one that can play multiple sounds at the same time and be activated with an accelerometer?

Hi HELP where do i find all the wave files / sounds to pick from ?? please help me, retired vet Bob

[brayatan]

16Mb? Nah, the 32Kb on an Arduino board is enough for me.

[Mujiboy]

I want to add a 1 minute file to it, you think that is possible?

[papalugo]

I have the same sound card but when I plug it into my laptop's USB, it does not identify the sound card. IT seems that the card is missing a driver. Can you assist?

[jrM]

what is the frequency range of the sound board? Thanks!

[rsm_me]

hi love the tutorial but, im wondering if you would consider making a board the same that would work with a 11.1 v supply with a loud small speaker to record the sound of a single shot fired from a gun if you would consider making this let me know obviously i would pay u
