VS1053 MP3 SHIELD TROUBLESHOOTING

Post by animalstyle »

I'm having some issues using the the MP3 shield with the Arduino Mega - i have soldered the bridges for MISO, SCK, MOSI and add the etra 2X3 headers. It lets me upload the simple player example - i get no sound when I restart the board. I have a namebrand SanDisk SD card formatted to Fat32 and the tracks are properly named. When I try to change the line of code from the Breakout to the Shield (as stated here: https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-mus ... play-music) the code won't compile. Any ideas? Am I grabbing the wrong library?

Please post your sketch that doesn't compile.

Also, post some pictures of your shield, wiring, and soldering

I figured it out. I needed to change a few lines of code, though.

These directions weren't the clearest: https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-mus ... play-music

All previous instances of BREAKOUT need to be changed to SHIELD in the setup. Not just the two lines stated in the directions.

I don't think so. You should have commented out the line that refers to BREAKOUT_RESET, etc.
