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.

D1 in this case I think he said. Or should that be the DJ port.....

#7  

@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.
