writing to SD card of featherwing from feather

Post by FReynolds »

I would like to record sound and save it to an SD from which I can replay the sound file sometime in the future. Several products have SD card slots, but the sound files have to be stored on the SD via a PC before they can be played on the feather. I want to be able to record a sound stream from a mic or from a bluetooth connection and save it on an SD card and replay the sound sometime in the future using only the feather and wings or other gadgets attached to the feather.

I have looked at the Music Wings but I cannot find a way to write a sound file / stream to the SD card of a Music Wing. The AdaLogger product can write bits to an SD card but I cannot see a way to get the bits from the AdaLogger to a Music Wing (or any other .mp3 player for that matter) without removing the SD card from the AdaLogger and putting it in the SD card slot of the Music Wing.

Any music/sound player products out there that provide a solution?

@FReynolds,

The Adafruit Music Maker FEatherWing can record MP3/OGG/WAV direct to SD.

https://www.adafruit.com/product/3357

OGG recording example:

https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_VS ... rd_ogg.ino

Code: Select all

/*************************************************** 
  This is an example for the Adafruit VS1053 Codec Breakout

  Designed specifically to work with the Adafruit VS1053 Codec Breakout

// This is a very beta demo of Ogg Vorbis recording. It works...
// Connect a button to digital 7 on the Arduino and use that to

// A mic or line-in connection is required. See page 13 of the 
// datasheet for wiring

// Don't forget to copy the v44k1q05.img patch to your micro SD 
// card before running this example!
