I just bought the adafruit audiofx sound board.
I wan it to activate using my ir remote. I'm guessing this can be done by activating a serial connector on my Arduino UNO. I just want to be able to turn sound on and off using one of the buttons on my Luxorparts IR transmitter/receiver.
There are two Arduino Unos linked together to avoid timing issues.
I would love any help I could get.
Please see the attached sketches.
It would be great if you would modify the title as everybody here is asking for help. The better you describe the title the more relevant viewers it will attract, increasing the chance on a usefull answer.

All I want to do is some way to activate and deactivate the sound board with the IR remote.
When you point your remote at your TV, and press buttons, something happens, right? That's because the TV has an IR receiver. Do you have one for your Arduino?

Yes, I do, everything is working as it should except now I want to add the soundboard to the configuration and have a way of activating it.
The current setup is listening for sound with a microphone from an external sound source, only difference is that I now want the sound source to be the sound board. I can get the sound board to active by just plugging in the power but I want to be able to turn it on and off.
If you post the code you have, and a link to the device you want to "control" and some description of what "control" means to you, help is far more likely.

Well, I have attached both the sketches to my first post.
I have said that I want to be able to turn on and off the adafruit audiofx sound board using the IR remote/receiver. I'm not sure what more information I can give?
I'm using two Arduino Unos, a Luxorparts IR transmitter/receiver and a adafruit audiofx sound board.
Do I need to post all the code or are the attached files fine?

The thing is, I am not out to learn programming arduinos, this will be the only project I am going to do and I don't really have time to get into the programming bit, I am just looking for some help to make this work.
To my basic understanding I think it would be relative easy for someone with programming knowledge to make this work but maybe I am naive.

Hmmm. Well for me to do the whole job would take more than a few hours. I would have to download and familiarize myself with the libraries, figure out what your code does, and then attempt an integration. There would be hardware setup to do, for testing. It is more than writing a simple example for the forum as some gurus are prone to do. I honestly think you will have to offer more than $5... I think two more zeroes. But I don't do this kind of job.
Right now the remote controls a bunch of addressable RGB leds for different light effects.
To active the adafruit sound board I just need to be able to send a signal to either one of the pins (for example pin 13) on one of the boards, that way the sound boards starts looping the sound clip.
Either that or I need the remote to send a signal to activate either GND or the 3.3v pin witch would start up the sound board and it would start looping automatically. Is either of these to options doable?

Yes they are do-able, assuming you haven't mis-read the sound board documentation. It might bring the price down to about $50 instead of $500.
