How can i use df mini player with my code and use with my existing ir sensors ?
@RandomMakingEncountersАй бұрын
You should be able to incorporate the DFPlayer sample code that comes with the library. I would approach it this way... it's kinda how I always kludge stuff together... I start by installing the library through the Arduino IDE and then go to the examples and grab the simplest one for the module. It will depend on what you're trying to accomplish but the basic idea would be to have your IR sensors doing their thing. You probably have some sort of conditional statement (IF or WHILE) running that is testing for something to happen. Once that condition is met, it's relatively easy to have the DFPlayer play. I should have mentioned this at the start... this video is really the simplest way that just drops a pin to ground. The DFPlayer can be completely controlled via code. Hope that helps and apologies for the slow reply! Cheers!

Hello. This is really helpful video. I just want to ask can we add a volume rotary button to this?. I want to put player in wooden frame. I want it to have power supply, play/stop button, female headphone jack, volume rotary button. It has to play one song up to 3 minutes. Can you please navigate me?
@RandomMakingEncounters3 ай бұрын
Hey there! I don't think you can add a rotary volume to this chip directly. A volume knob is basically a potentiometer that is wired up to control the voltage to the audio output device. Volume control on this board can be managed using momentary buttons wired to various pins on the board. I think this one has been designed for very compact installations where buttons are a better solution. If you're ok with swapping out a rotary volume control with a couple of buttons, this will be perfect and pretty easy to do. Here's a link to the data sheet - wiki.dfrobot.com/DFPlayer_Mini_SKU_DFR0299 You can see where you would wire a 5 volt power supply to VCC and GND. I would think that 3 AA batteries would be good. Alkaline would provide 4.5 volts and rechargeables 3.6. The board theoretically works on 3.2 to 5 volts. Your headphone out jack would be wired to DAC_R and DAC_L with is either a line out or headphone out and bypasses the built in speaker amplifier. If you wire momentary buttons to IO1 to ground and IO2 to ground, short and long presses on the buttons control playback. I don't see a note indicating what would stop playback?? I don't think there are any limits on track length. Another board you might want to look at is this one - www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07YFPBGF8 Documentation on this one is a bit more cryptic but what I do like about it is there is a headphone jack already mounted on the board and solder points to connect a speaker. There's also a potentiometer on the board for volume control which means you could try desoldering that potentiometer and wiring in one that is external but the same value. I don't have as much experience with this one but I really like the fact that it's already on a board with connection points and a few components already in a place. Here's a site with a bit more information - www.icstation.com/music-player-voice-playback-amplifier-module-sdtf-card-integrated-uart-trigger-class-p-13455.html I hope that get's you a bit further down the path on your project!

The most complex thing in this project is getting the ghost illusion to work. I've never really loved using the player for video since it can't really be left running all of the time and it's a bit fiddly. I have a better idea for a solution that can run all of the time and just got all of the parts in. I'm going to put together another video showing how to do it. I think it's simpler in some ways. As far as the rest goes... everything else is really pretty standard nook stuff. It's either a matter of making or finding all the little bits and pieces but everything I used can be found online or on Thingiverse.

@RandomMakingEncounters4 ай бұрын
Thanks for the comment. Yes! This board is a bit sensitive when it comes to voltages. If you’re hooking this up to an Arduino, you need to dial the voltage down from the Arduino pin to the RX pin on the player. There is a lot of conflicting information out there but it seems like the voltages on the board are 3.3 volts. Some documents say “5 volt tolerant” but I would be careful not to exceed that and that’s only for the VIN to power the board. I always use a couple of resistors to create a voltage divider to bring drop the voltage down on the RX pin from the Arduino 5V to 3.3V for the DFPlayer. You advice is well said… always work within the specs of the board and err on the conservative side! Cheers!

Please let me know, thank you.
@RandomMakingEncounters5 ай бұрын
Thanks! This is a pretty robust little MP3 player. A couple of thoughts around your questions. There are two ways to wire sound output from this module. The first is to use the built-in amp and wire to speakers. I’ve never found the power to be that impressive so the second option is to use the line out connections. You can wire a 3.5mm jack into the module and then plug it into an amplifier or amplified computer speakers. Here’s a link to the documentation - wiki.dfrobot.com/DFPlayer_Mini_SKU_DFR0299. You would use DAC_L, DAC_R, and ground. This module can be controlled via Arduino but it also has very simple controls using a couple of the pins and some push buttons and resistors. This is documented under the Working section and parts 2 and 3 might be interesting to you. Basically, connecting the pins to ground through varying resistors (or even just briefly connecting them) can control the board. I think the idea is to make it possible to create a very simple MP3 player with just a handful of buttons and resistors. It may be possible to connect the ADKEY1 pin to ground through a resistor to permanently either trigger play or loop all… some experimentation would be required. Most players aren’t specifically intended to play on powering up but hard wiring that connection might do the trick. A few other modules I’ve found are the WayinTop Sound Module, the EZSound Sound Module, KOOBOOK Voice Module (they should pop up on Amazon searches). They all have their quirks and are intended to be simple (with the exception of the KOOBOOK) solutions to adding sound to something. The KOOBOOK module is a more robust variation of the DFPlayer Mini and has more of the connections you need already built into the board. All of these are pretty inexpensive… which is one of the things I like. I’ve fried plenty of $30+ boards experimenting so cooking something that’s under $10 because I wired the wrong pin to power makes it a bit more affordable. I hope this helps point you in a helpful direction! Thanks for the comment and question. Cheers!

I think a medieval or Tudor street scene would be a perfect idea. The biggest challenge with a book nook is "hiding the corners". What I mean by that is making something that doesn't look like it's in a box. If you make a nook that is a room... well... corners are not a problem because rooms have corners. If you make a street scene, you have buildings on both sides! The hardest is a scene that is an outdoor scene... really challenging. My main advice is to start with simple shapes and, as you're happy with the way things are going, continue to add more details. Good luck with your project! Cheers!
