EasyVR Shield 1.0 and 2.0

Hello all,

I am a 3rd year electronics engineering student, and for a part of my final project I am automating a car. One section is this voice control which uses the EasyVR modules available at sparkfun. It uses an application called EasyVR Commander among others to program the sound clips and upload them to this EasyVR shield where you can then call the tags for different audio files and associate them to key phrases that you train in into the shield via the EasyVR Commander.

Long story short I had it working perfectly but the built in audio jack crapped out and I needed to replace it, unfortunately they now stock the 2.0 version of the shield which is supposed to be programmed and used identically, with some other completely unrelated, irrelevant features you can choose to use.

The EasyVR Commander WILL NOT upload the new sound table to the shield no matter what I try. Once again it says it is programmed identically and works with all the same versions of software. Then if I throw on the old broken board to test, it uploads perfectly, just with no audio.... So it appears to me, that this new 2.0 has a faulty boot loader for the custom sound tables.

I have experience in C, C++, Python, AVR and Arduino and I honestly am stumped. I do not have the time or the money to get yet another board, and this to the best of my knowledge is broken out of the box....

Please help? :slight_smile:
