Product Review
Would you like to add audio/sound effects to your next project, without an Arduino+Shield? Or maybe you don't even know how to use microcontrollers, you just want to make a sound play whenever you press a button. What about something that has to be very small and portable? You are probably feeling a little frustrated: it's been very hard to find a simple, low cost audio effects trigger that is easy to use and does not require any programming
The Sound Board has a lot of amazing features that make it the easiest thing ever:
No Arduino or other microcontroller required! It is completely stand-alone, just needs a 3 to 5.5VDC battery
Small - only 1.5" x 0.9"
2MB storage onboard. Good for a few minutes of compressed stereo, and maybe a half a minutes of uncompressed stereo. Double that if you go with mono.
Built in Mass Storage USB - Plug any micro USB cable into the Sound Board and your Windows computer, you can drag and drop your files right on as if it were a USB key
Compressed or Uncompressed audio - Go with compressed Ogg Vorbis files for longer audio files, or uncompressed WAV files
High Quality Sound - You want 44.1KHz 16 bit stereo? Not a problem! The decoding hardware can handle any bit/sample rate and mono or stereo
8 Triggers - Connect up to 8 buttons or switches, each one can trigger audio files to play
Stereo line out - Headphones, powered speakers or even wire up one of our amplifiers to make loud sounds. We also have a version with built-in stereo speaker amplifier
Five different trigger effects - by changing the name of the files, you can create five different types of triggers which will cover a large range of projects without any programming
Control over UART (9600 Baud) via any microcontroller, we have an Arduino Library for basic control over playback and volume.
Trigger modes: Basic, Hold Looping, Latching loop, Play next, Play random
