MP3 Trigger vs MP3 Player Shield

Development Boards Arduino
1

Hi all,

I’ve recently started working with an Arduino for a project of mine and have reached the point where I’d like to incorporate sound. I came across both the MP3 Trigger and the MP3 Player Shield, but I’m not entirely sure which one is better suited for my project since I’m still new to all of this. As for what I’m trying to do for the sound, I have an IR remote and when I press a button on the remote I’d like the corresponding sound effect to play. So I press button “1” sound effect 1 plays, press button “2” sound effect 2 plays, so on and so forth. So any advice/help on whether the Trigger or the Shield is better suited for my project would be great.

Thanks!

Hi,

I have worked on the mp3 player shield and its best for your application. Mp3player shield is easily interfacable to Aruino UNO board and it has an SD card jacket in it. So what you need to do is to add all the mp3 clips in that SD card shield and then you have to write the Arduino code in which when you get the IR indication of button press then you play your respective mp3 file. This mp3 shield also has a Headphone pin in it where you can add speaker or head phone and can hear the sound. Let me know if you got into any trouble regarding this shield.

Thanks.
