I need help to start a project

I am new to the basics of programming with Arduino, and I need help with my project, which is to press a button, distant from the board, to play a sound that I chose, long story short, I want to make my Withered Freddy cosplay's nose go "boop", but, like mentioned early, I am a noob at this :sweat_smile::joy:
And my question is: to start this project, which Arduino board and other components other than a button and a speaker do I need? What are the codes?
I hopelessly tried to search tutorials for this, but the buttons are on the breadboard and that's not what I wanted, I appreciate whoever can help :heart_hands:

One more thing I thought to do is to try and take codes out of a toy's audio structure, but the only thing is that the chip might not be reprogrammable :frowning:
From that I just want to know if I can change the prerecorded audio to whatever audio I want

A web search for "arduino buzzer tutorial" turned up a number of examples, like this Arduino buzzer tutorial

A DFplayer board ought to be useful for sounds.
Don't expect to find any code doing exactly whta You want. Find code handling a DFPlayer and modify it to suit Your needs.
Use the IDE example codes for button handling.

Having a soldering iron elliminates the bredboard.

Believe me, I wanted to search the other way to produce audio files from a button and it ONLY gave me results about this buzzer.... EVERYWHERE :smiling_face_with_tear:
Thanks for this one though, but I don't need it for my project, I will however consider this one for another in case I want to include the buzzer

Alright thanks, but I also wanted to know if it's compatible with a specific Arduino board or if it is with any Arduino board, so that I have idea on which one to purchase and get started

Look at this , I must admit it is on my very long to do list , so I cannot give more info.
Looks like Mozzi uses a DAC output.
So you need something like a ESP32.

https://sensorium.github.io/Mozzi/

how distant?
long cables connecting buttons to a microcontroller can pick up electrical noise from the environment which cause problems
would look at an ESP32 which have plenty of memory, IO facilities, onboard WiFi, bluetooth classic and BLE and are supported by the arduino IDE - low cost - about £7 on EBAY in UK

easy to drive a DFPlayer

any other requirements you have not mentioned??

Pro tip: When you write/say this, everything before and after is not to be trusted. Never instruct listeners/readers to believe or disbelieve. They will know just by listening/reading.

When you search the internet, prefix the unwanted word or words with the "exclude" symbol (the minus sign: "-"), for you, "-buzzer", for example:

arduino button music -buzzer

Alright thanks a lot, the wire from the Arduino board and the speaker shouldn't be too long

If this has to do with buzzers I am going to lose my mind, because I've checked for what I wanted for YEARS and I still get things made with buzzers, which I do not care about, all I asked was how to produce a CHOSEN mp3 file using Arduino from the press of a button

And you're suggesting me to buy the eap32 board along with all wires, the button I need to glue the nose on and the speaker then code everything, am I missing anything?

Twisting the wires, four turns per inch, will help reduce noise induction.

If you do not want to use a consumer-off-the-shelf bluetooth speaker connected to your phone, then I suggest you use the DFPlayerMini in "I/O Mode". You do not need to program the DFPlayerMini. All you need is power and wires, speaker and wires and a button (or two) and wires.

(deleted DFPlayerInfo, same as below and above)

If you use this module, DFPlayer like what was suggested above, you don't actually need an Arduino at all. It can work as a standalone module. All you need are

  1. the module
  2. An SD Card 1GB is more than enough and easy to find
  3. 2 AA batteries and a battery holder
  4. A speaker that will fit inside your nose. (preferably the Freddy nose)
  5. A button, but you may also want to adjust the volume too, so maybe 3 buttons total.

This video HERE will help you, as will this Blogpost HERE

The diagram you posted was better and probably just what OP needs to follow.

Thank you, but I want to point out two things: the speaker is too big to fit inside the nose, so I will need to put it inside the mask, and the guy in the video uses no buttons nor he used an audio track to play....

The video was to show that you don't need an Arduino to get it to work and the blog post show how you can connect buttons to it to play the audio tracks.

Give this schematic a try with the following resistors 33K, 24K and 15K. This will give you the ability to play a track, and increase/decrease the volume if needed.

I want to replace the sound that normally a Gormiti costume prop toy does possibly using Arduino, using a sound that I want to use, without forcefully having to build a module myself.

To be more specific, from a repeated twice fire slashing sound I want to go with a boop sound, I explained it in another discussion but I didn't get interesting answers sadly.
If by any case I can't do that using the same microchip as the module has (see the image) can I just simply recycle the speaker and the button to use on the new replacement Arduino board? If so, which one do I need along with the DFplayer?
(AND DON'T MENTION THE BUZZER PLEASE, BECAUSE THAT'S NOT WHAT I ASKED AND IT'S ALL ANOTHER THING WHICH I HAVE HAD ENOUGH OF😫)

The module is this one above, I hope it's understandable enough and I apologize for its condition, the wires are pretty weak and might need to replace them :smiling_face_with_tear:
I am so eager to finally get to work with this first electronic project for my cosplay

What is "to forcefully build?"

Oh? I'm hurt.

You don't need an Arduino. Just power, a speaker, button and a DFPlayerMini, as "un-interesting" as it seems.

Have you considered using a buzzer? . . . . .

I have merged your cross-posts @unwithe2bonnie.

Cross-posting is against the Arduino forum rules. The reason is that duplicate posts can waste the time of the people trying to help. Someone might spend a lot of time investigating and writing a detailed answer on one topic, without knowing that someone else already did the same in the other topic.

Repeated cross-posting can result in a suspension from the forum.

In the future, please only create one topic for each distinct subject matter. This is basic forum etiquette, as explained in the "How to get the best out of this forum" guide. It contains a lot of other useful information. Please read it.

Thanks in advance for your cooperation.

Well I added the part I wrote in my last discussion, but I didn't get any answers from that, so I had to rewrite it in another one, I'm sorry about that, I didn't know it was against the rules, it won't happen again
