I'm using an Arduino Uno to drive one of these boards (Embedded Adventures - Products - WTV020-SD SoundOut audio module - MOD-1007) based on the same chipset - the library works in as much as a single file play results in audio being played, however, when I try to queue up files in my code (to announce different digits, words, etc, like a talking clock, for example), the busyPin detection does not seem to be working.
I added a couple of lines of code to the playVoice() function to light up the on-board LED (pin13) when the busy loop was waiting but even on a four second audio file, the LED doesn't come on, indicating that I'm not getting the right busyPin status somehow... I've tried two modules (I had a spare) but so far no luck... I have to resort to putting delays between playouts (commented out below to demonstrate the problem) but no luck. each audio file is simply the spoken words "one", "two", etc, with 100msec of silence before/after the word.
any ideas appreciated!
