Are we going to be waiting long for this to come back in stock?

Has anyone had an issue with the player locking up? If I play at least two different files, it locks up after the
third file. I have to hold the Power/Play button in for 5 seconds or cycle the power to reset it. If I trigger the
same input repeatedly, it will keep playing more than 3 times. But as soon as you try another input it locks up.

It seems to be related to WAV files. It works fine after I converted the WAV files to OGG.

Why would it work with speakers but not headphones? Perhaps it was meant the other way around.
Headphones but not speakers?
LightningHawk / about 4 months ago * / 2
This isn’t a headphones application. You can plug headphones in, get a tiny amount of sound but the
product needs to be used with powered speakers.

Anyone have a sense on the over/under of whether the clock on this can be “bent” to playback the stored
sounds at lower/higher pitches?
LightningHawk / about 4 months ago / 1
I think you can manipulate it in code but you won’t be able to change the pitch while playing. You’d have to
tweak it, play it, tweak it, play it, etc. The VS1000D firmware is in the repo, have at it.

Can the 4MB SPI flash be changed to a larger one and if so, would the extra storage be accessible? is the
source program available? This is a nifty gadget, with seemingly a lot of potential.
LightningHawk / about 5 months ago * / 2
The source program is in the firmware folder in the repo. And YES! it can. In fact, source to access/read
more memory (8x more memory) is almost done. I left this as a hack-I will share the source and the drop in
SPI flash replacement in the next few months. If you file an issue in the Little Soundie repo about this I can
add you as a collaborator to the hack repo if you’d like.

Hello, when you say that: “You can trigger about 20 files (2-3 seconds sound bites each) […]so I recommend
using OGG if more then 5-6 sound bites are to be used.” does that mean that I can use a .ogg file of any size
(as long as it fits in the memory)? So something like a minute of audio or so.
Also, when the board is looping a single file, is there any delay when the sound restarts, or is it istantaneous?
And finally, is there some certified site of yours where i can buy that ships to Europe(Italy)? I tried some of the
sites suggested on your website, but they don’t seem to sell your stuff. Thanks.
Celerity is the key whith this one…

In 2003, CU student Nate Seidle fried a power supply in his dorm room
and, in lieu of a way to order easy replacements, decided to start his
own company. Since then, SparkFun has been committed to sustainably
helping our world achieve electronics literacy from our headquarters in
Boulder, Colorado.
