Hi all,
I purchased a new WAV Trigger board (WIG 13660), and installed it into a toy that I want to make spooky sounds when the lights are out, and happy sounds when the lights are on. I am controlling the WAV Trigger with an Arduino Mega, to which is attached a light sensor. I have 11 different spooky sounds, and 11 happy sounds. The program works, but the WAV Trigger insists on playing out the spooky/happy sounds to the end of the file, and ignores changing conditions like the lights going on or off, no matter how I tweak the code.
It’s as if the WAV Trigger pauses responding to the Arduino program controlling it, until the sound file plays out completely.
I don’t know if I need to change the INIT file choices, or if there is a reset pin on the WAV Trigger I can activate to simply stop it playing, so it responds to the Arduino code again. I think the WAV Trigger only has a reset button, not a reset pin like the Arduino Uno does.
I assume that the reset button momentarily grounds the signal and resets the board, is that correct? If so, can I simply carefully solder a wire to the reset button itself from the Arduino board, to send it a Digital Low signal to momentarily ground it out?
Has anyone else had a problem with their WAV Trigger sound file playing out to the end, while the Arduino program waits for it to finish? Thanks for any input you may have on this.
