DFRduino Audio player problem
thomaspf 2011-12-07 21:19:10 20984 Views29 Replies Hi,
I received my audio player and seem to struggle with setting up the SD card correctly. I read all the posts on the forum as to how a 1GB Micro SD card needs to be formatted into FAT format, containing a folder named "sound" in the root with flat files with a name < 8 characters.
No luck for me. The LED keeps blinking and I can't talk to the board via I2C.
Attached are two JPGs showing what my card looks like. Am I doing anything wrong or might the board be defective?
Cheers
Thomas

2011-12-13 09:44:13 I would be very grateful! I will leave the Sandisk 1GB card in the version I send back. Maybe there is something to be learned that could be added to the documentation.
What is the address and contact information for UPS? Do I need any return code on the parcel?

thomaspf 2011-12-13 00:32:16 What we can do is to send you a working player with SD card. You can return your to us. What do you think?

R2D2C3PO 2011-12-12 19:17:15 Okay, I officially give up. I completed the code for all the sensors and everything works except for the player. On the I2C bus I have
[list]
[*]DS3231 RTC chip
[*]BMP085 Pressure and Temperature sensor
[*]TSL2561 Luminosity sensor with a 3.3V level shifter
[/list]
MediaTek MT3329 GPS receiver on the serial port
Any other suggestions? This is supposed to be fancy alarm clock I am building with my son. He wants it to play Time from Pink Floyd as a wake-up theme.

thomaspf 2011-12-10 09:25:45 Hi Hector,
I wanted to make sure the Arduino board is working properly and hooked up a DS3231 clock chip last night. No problems there so this is down to the DFRduino player board and the Micro SD card.
At this point it does not work and I am at the end of my ideas on what the problem could be other than a defective. I would be happy to send it back with the SD card in it for someone to check it out.
Cheers

thomaspf 2011-12-08 22:21:04 Yes, I check and re-checked. This is exactly how I have it connected.
I also tried with getting power simply from the Arduino instead of the seperate module.
I will try another I2C module next to make sure that is working fine.
Any other suggestions?

thomaspf 2011-12-08 01:44:44 Are you sure the connection to the Player is correct?
Have you seen the connection diagram in the wiki: [url=https://www.dfrobot.com/wiki/index.php?title=DFRduino_Player_(SKU:DFR0112)]https://www.dfrobot.com/wiki/index.php?title=DFRduino_Player_(SKU:DFR0112)[/url]
The connection diagram displayed is for I2C, so you need to make sure the Jumper is in the right place.
