Upgrade to ARC Pro

Nice work DJ, can finally test out that MP3 player...Thank you
Could you add MP3 support for soundboard in future release? don't understand why you did only WAV format.
Just noticed the extra Robosapien script commands Burp & Fart
Hilarious
I predict a run on Robosapien Robots well done
Louis, the sound board supports MP3 format. Only some mp3 bitrates are supported.
what's the maximum supported bitrate?
This is fantastic! very easy the modification Robosapiens, everything is controlled from the port d0? fantastic again!
D1 in this case I think he said. Or should that be the DJ port.....
@DJ I considered 96kbps/128kbps low bitrates MP3s but still can't play them. I think any lower bitrates would greatly reduced sound quality and unnecessarily. Why is there a limit on MP3 bitrate? I mean it plays on the PC, not thru EZ-B afterall. Not a complaint, just curious as there may be a good reason for it.
Great job DJ. I have a version 1 robo, I'll try this hack. Is there any chance you could post a straight on still frame as to where exactly to solder the wires? hard to tell from the video.
