I am making a project which will need to read a small text file with (35 or so) variables from a usb drive , and also play a recorded sound. I saw the vinculum Vmusic2 is up to the job , but reading the forum on this thread
http://www.arduino.cc/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1187669098
but it seems that there is a problem reading files off the drive.
Has anyone succeeded in receiving any useful data or text file from USB drive using VMUSIC?
is there another option I can use?
my first thought was to work my variables into the file names (since DIR seems to work) , does that make sense?
another overkill option was to use arduino BT and then send the variables using BT ,but the TX pin would be taken for the VMUSIC , won't that be a problem?
