I am new to microcontrollers. My students are prototyping a wearable device for a competition. We have a SparkFun RedBoard Qwiic. We would like to be able to store sound files and have them played through headphones/earbuds when a touch sensor is triggered. We have the touch sensor. What would you recommend for storing the sound files and outputting them to headphones?
Are the students there to learn about microcontrollers or is the wearable competition the goal?
If it’s the latter, it seems you can use a Tsunami and focus the effort toward other aspects of the costume.
I second using a tsunami. Going to be way easier than using a SD card and DAC.
Learning about the design process and prototyping for the competition is the goal. Using the microcontroller is a bonus. I am looking for something as close to plug-n-play as possible. Besides the $25 price difference, what are the pros/cons of the Tsunami vs https://www.sparkfun.com/products/13660
The Features tab gives a good rundown on each. Since it now appears you don’t need any of the features of the Super (like independent audio outputs), the WAV Trigger is probably suitable. It also has a convenient 1/8" audio TRS backed by a watt or two and a wider power voltage range.
