F.A.Q.
How come 'looping tracks' like TO1LATCH.WAV dont loop in UART mode?
UART mode is completely manual - only 'button mode' does the 'random/next/latch' behaviors. that's because if you
are controlling via UART you can do whatever you like :)
I am having difficultly triggering GPIO #9 and #10
For reasons we haven't nailed down yet, Trigger pins #9 and #10 require more current to trigger (they are set to
inputs in the firmware so that's not it) and might not be possible to do so from a logic output device. Using a switch
ought to work!
If I hold down a button in 'play once' Tnn.WAV mode, it will repeat!
That's right, after it is done playing the sound it will check the buttons and find that the one you have held down is
pressed so it will play it again - this is normal!
If you want to have it play a sound only once through, even if the button is held down, you can try making a sound
with very long empty noise at the end, then use TnnHOLD mode so that it will play an empty noise. Then when the
button is released and re-pressed it will start at the beginning. OGG type is best for this since it is compressed
I don't have short delays between loops, whats up with that?
The microconroller on board has to look through the entire filesystem every time it detects a button press, so the
key to making loops short is keeping the filesystem clean and small.
Once you have your setup the way you want, make sure the SD card is empty, even reformat it with the 'blank'
image if you've copy n pasted files around! Use WAV format not OGG because WAV plays faster. Also, make sure
you are using T00 slot since that is the first button checked.
