MP3 trigger power up then cuts out

I have a Sparkfun MP3 trigger. When I power up the system, the sounds start then cut out after about 3 seconds and the green light turns off. The system has worked great with sounds in the past. Any advice?

The best steps for troubleshooting that board are posting by its inventor here https://robertsonics.com/mp3-trigger-support/ - You could look for a malfunctioning part on the board (burnt regulator, etc), and/or try and re-flash the firmware (instructions also found on that page)

Hi, I’m brand new to the forum and I wasn’t sure whether to jump into this thread or do a fresh posting. Guidance is welcome. I’m into electronic drums and want to find a way to trigger recorded drum sounds. I wondered if the Robertsonics MP3 trigger would work for that? It has as many trigger inputs as I’d need, but the trigger delay would need to be very short. If that won’t work, are there suggestions for another approach? I’m also considering what it would take to do it in hardware-only, to achieve negligible delay. Thanks for any tips.
