Does anyone one know where to grab a trigger off the Sparkfun MP3 trigger board? I am using one to make the GBot speak but my neon does not light reliably. Im pretty sure its working. It does light briefly when an mp3 file starts to play but does not stay on during the file play. Ive tried adjusting the sensitivity of the neon trigger input without success. Im hoping its not working properly due to line noise or poor s/n

Thanks

The EZ-B v4 has streaming audio built into it - with the EZ-B v4, you do not need an mp3 trigger

Hmmm... I definitely see upgrade coming. But EZB v3 is what I have for this Halloween...

I gotta say Gwen that I love the simplicity of strimming a voice file from my laptop right to the robot's sound system through EZB V4. The response of the flash to the voice cadence on the neon is even a lot better. When you finally do upgrade you'll want to do the sound mod on EZB to bypass it's built in amp and tie into your B9's bigger sound system amp. Here's the thread I started that will help you do this when you get to that upgrade:
