mp3 shield

Using Arduino Audio
#1

Hi!

I am using a MP3 shield VS1053 from geeetech. I am trying to implement this code, that is, when pressed "s" in the serial monitor, the music stops playing on the mp3 shield.

void parse_menu(byte key_command) {
if(key_command == 's') {
Serial.println(F("Stopping"));
MP3player.stopTrack();
}

}

I took this bit out of Sparkfun-MP3-Player-Shield-Arduino-Library/SFEMP3Shield/Examples/MP3Shield_Library_Demo at master · madsci1016/Sparkfun-MP3-Player-Shield-Arduino-Library · GitHub.

I have modified my code such that a button plays a track. However, I am trying to get it to stop when I press the key "s". Right now, it keeps playing the track until it is finished.

Help please?

Many thanks!

Do you get the serial print output when you press the stop button?

Nope, I don't see it in the serial print output.

Then your immediate problem is not stopping the sound but recognising the stop key.
You need to post all the code and post it correctly read the how to use the forum sticky post.
