Hey there!
My goal is to play sample(s) after a button push, but the playback should start as fast as possible because I'd like to use it in a live music environment and if I push it and it has a little delay that would be pointless.
I'm using an UNO, and a yx5300 based serial mp3 player so far. ( class 10 16gb SD card formatted to fat32, 6 samples with short names, no folder; mp3 128 bps). The goal would be at least 16 bit 44.1khz sample playback. ( But it's maybe compromiseable if that's too much to ask ). Right now there are 2 digital.read inputs for the buttons.
So far the program works kind of, but if I try to go with the music it has a slight 4-5ms delay ( don't know exactly how much it is, but I can feel it ). I don't know what's causing the slight lag and what would be the solution. I'm open for other applications.
I'm concerned about the yx5300 as it works at 9600 baud, it might be too slow.
Was thinking about serial feeding a PC and controlling an mp3 player there somehow. Would it work?
So please share your insights! How would it be possible to build such a system
About the code.: I was fiddling about, tried to serial feed the yx5300 without a for loop, the code at the bottom is just a simple debounce thingy, I thought it out, so it might not be the best.
Have a great day!
