Hello,

A buddy suggested I check out Arduino and it looks very interesting.

I would like to do a simple project, and I was wondering if someone can help identify the specific model and parts that would be required.

Project:

I have 3 different inputs at 5 volts each.

When I press button one, a 5 volt charge is sent out and I would like it to play a sound file (say under 10 seconds) and output to a speaker. The sound clip would be different than two or three.

When I press button two, a 5 volt charge is sent out and I would like it to play a sound file (say under 10 seconds) and output to a speaker. This sound clip would be different than one or three.

When I press button three, a 5 volt charge is sent out and I would like it to play a sound file (say under 10 seconds) and output to a speaker. This sound clip would be different than one or two.

Is it possible to do this with an Arduino?

I imagine a model that allows at least 3 different inputs, has an SD card and can output to a speak would be a good start, but I am unsure what exactly is required.

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Yes.

All Arduinos have three inputs and you can get an SD shield. Some have the SD reader built in. A UNO with an Adafruit WAV shield would be simplest.

the best way to start is to get an Arduino, and some buttons and LEDs

google about playing sounds with an arduino
and start programming with the tutorials on button and work your way up.

we are here to help you went you stuble or hit a block.
or to point out why one way might work better than some other way

once you get the buttons to work the LED's on the fashion you like,
add the sound player and it will be a nice learning gradient.

a tip is to use 'Arduino' in your google searches

and, as you found out, the better the questions the better the answers.
