Wiring the FX soundboard

Post by Bluesapphire »

Slight change to my circuit
I want the momentary switch to control an led as well as the sound
Also just one momentary into pin 0

Is this correct?

As drawn, the LED would always be on when the circuit was powered. It would not be affected at all by the momentary switch.

To have it light when the button was pressed, you would connect the '-' side of your LED to the other side of the momentary switch. The LED will turn on and the sound will be triggered when the momentary switch connects to GND.

I wired it up and the led lights when the button is pushed but the board flashes a red light and a voice says “left left left”. Coincidentally I only have the left speaker wired. If I could send a vid clip I would

So the wiring is correct. The clip played by the Fx board when you trigger pin 0 depends on how you have configured it.

Well I loaded it with a wav file and gave it the naming convention for the file to be related to pin 0
Is there something I missed? Is the board not in trigger mode?
Also when the toggle is in the off position the led appears to still be drawing current and glows dimly

The board should be in trigger mode by default. Make sure there is nothing connected to the UG pin.

What other wav files are on the device aside from your T00HOLDL.wav?

Oh there is a T00.ogg file on there. I didn’t install that should I remove it?

Nothing connected to the UG pin

It is probably taking the first file it finds with the T0 prefix. Either delete it or re-name it to something else.
