Thank you all for spending the time to read and reply. You all have helped me so much with learning my new favorite hobby, I love this day and age....Anyways.....
I am working on my first arduino project. RGBs simulating a thunderstorm. Two settings.
1 - RGBs timed to simulate lighting and whatnot
2 -Sound sensor + wave shield. Wave shield plays a recording of a thunderstorm, sound sensor lights up certain LEDs.
I got the wave shield a few days ago and have it working well.
I got the sound sensor yesterday and have it working well.
I have a template sketch for my first setting figured out.
So right now I am just trying to play the .WAV while my Tstorm template sketch plays.
Spent a few hours researching first before coming to you all.
I am hung up on how to tell the wave shield to do its thing while the RGB do it's.
Here is the Adafruit Wave Shield sketch, works...
/*
* This example plays every .WAV file it finds on the SD card in a loop
*/
#include <WaveHC.h>
#include <WaveUtil.h>
SdReader card; // This object holds the information for the card
FatVolume vol; // This holds the information for the partition on the card
FatReader root; // This holds the information for the volumes root directory
WaveHC wave; // This is the only wave (audio) object, since we will only play one at a time
uint8_t dirLevel; // indent level for file/dir names (for prettyprinting)
dir_t dirBuf; // buffer for directory reads
/*
* Define macro to put error messages in flash memory
*/
#define error(msg) error_P(PSTR(msg))
// Function definitions (we define them here, but the code is below)
void play(FatReader &dir);

error("Card init. failed!"); // Something went wrong, lets print out why
}
// enable optimize read - some cards may timeout. Disable if you're having problems
card.partialBlockRead(true);
// Now we will look for a FAT partition!
uint8_t part;
for (part = 0; part < 5; part++) { // we have up to 5 slots to look in
if (vol.init(card, part))
break; // we found one, lets bail
}
