Hey guys,
I'm using the MP3 Trigger instead of "soundboard" in my Wall-e & found that I need to constantly release the servos for sound to work properly (using ReleaseAll() in scripts). Sometimes I lose sound completely.
If I setup a test project with a servo & the MP3 Trigger, the servo will shake/wobble whenever I slide the volume control up/down on the MP3 Trigger. Releasing the servo allows the volume control to work properly, even though sometimes I lose sound when selecting tracks.
If I setup a test project with the MP3 Trigger only, all ok (never lose sound).
Anyone experiencing this issue?
I should never have put a slider volume like that - sorry. The slider sends a command for every volume position to the ez-b. that takes up the entire bandwidth.
latest ARC solves that issue
Thanks DJ,
Installed the latest ARC, the shaking servo issue is gone
(brilliant work).
Still losing sound intermittently though... have to use "ReleaseAll()" in scripts for sounds/tracks to play. Sometimes sound is lost completely & have to turn off/reboot the ez-b for the MP3 Trigger to start working again.
It would be great to know if others have this issue as it could be that I have a faulty MP3 Trigger.
WALL-E is coming along nicely, I'll be posting pics in the "showcase" area.
I've had issues with baud timing with that piece. Opensource stuff always gives me issues
ill take a look again. Try a different Io port see if it goes away. If so tell me what port it works on
What port are you using now?
Thanks DJ,
At the moment I'm using D0.
I'll try different ports & let you know if it makes a difference.
Hi DJ,
I tried different ports, but all behave the same way. Whenever servos are involved, sound will be lost intermittently
Do u mean u cant trigger a sound or the sound stops playing?
I can initially trigger sounds with scripts, but if I use the "dance" script for example, then sounds will stop until I restart the ez-b.
Can you expand on that. Stop? Or not be able to trigger again?
I need to know if the sound that is currently playing completely STOPS. Or if the soudn continues to play, but no other sounds can play.
