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!
