Chime / mp3 module - Electronic Circuits Projects Diagrams Free

Dan East · 17th July 2007, 01:43 PM

I'm in need of a module that can play chime sounds when triggered by a PIC. I need several different chimes to indicate different events, so the module should have several built-in sounds to choose from.

I'm also open to (and might prefer) a generic MP3 module that can accept my own sounds (like on an SD card), if I can easily trigger the playing of specific files from a PIC.

The device will be attached to a small amp that drives a few speakers.

I need to put this together quickly, so I don't have time to dabble around experimenting or hacking. If I can't find a dedicated use module, then I will use an old Pocket PC to play the sounds, triggered by IrDA from the PIC. I already do PIC to PPC communication of that sort, so that is a sure thing if I can't come up with something more dedicated.

Any suggestions would be appreciated!

I saw a diy MP3 player project on the web. It used about 10 hard to find tiny surface-mount ICs and was wired together with about 1 million little wires.
It probably took months to make and years to de-bug.

This is a simple 16 meg MP3 player, built in USB. Pretty easy to take apart. I got several a while back, but only got as far as making it start playing when power is applied. Should be super simple to control with a micro (been thinking about it myself).
