Paid Job- Home theatre setup

I currently have a elegoo uno along with 4 arduino speakers, 2 amplifiers, a breadboard and an mp3 tf card reader. I have lights similar to the ones you can buy for an emergency vehicle as well as a dome push button. I want to be able to push the button which activates one song as well as the lights for a set amount of time. I have got the button and lights to work before but none of the sound. I need help with the code and wiring

if you share links to the various parts you have and budget you want to allow for this, you are likely to get more interested parties.

I can help you with that. Please let me know if you still need help.

Search "arduino mp3 player" for example...

Searching is totally overrated nowadays.

Truly, there is too-high a chance the results are outdated or wrong from the start. Learning subject matter would give a better chance at finding "good" results. There are free phone-apps that do all this (search dmx dj android)... but that would be for another forum.

Oh … one could ask ChatGPT :slight_smile:


(sorry... this appears to be a local issue... so I tried duck.ai)
... and got a whole code... with this line...

#include <MP3盾.h>

... which does not compile... so I said to #include <MP3盾.h> does not compile, and it gave this...

#include <SoftwareSerial.h>
#include <DFRobotDFPlayerMini.h>

SoftwareSerial mySerial(10, 11); // RX, TX
DFRobotDFPlayerMini myMP3;
const int buttonPin = 2;
const int lightPin = 3;
const int lightDuration = 5000; // Duration lights stay on in milliseconds

void setup() {
    pinMode(buttonPin, INPUT_PULLUP); // Set button pin as input with pull-up
    pinMode(lightPin, OUTPUT); // Set light pin as output
    mySerial.begin(9600); // Set serial communication speed

    if (!myMP3.begin(mySerial)) {
        // Print error message if MP3 player fails to initialize
        Serial.println("DFPlayer Mini is not responding.");
        while (true);
    }
    myMP3.volume(10); // Set volume
}

void loop() {
    if (digitalRead(buttonPin) == LOW) { // Check if button is pressed
        digitalWrite(lightPin, HIGH);     // Turn on lights
        myMP3.play(1);                    // Play the first song (track 1)
        delay(lightDuration);              // Wait for set duration
        digitalWrite(lightPin, LOW);      // Turn off lights
    }
}

... which compiles.. and a set of wiring instructions which I will not post... but hey, thanks "chatGPT." I'm done without having to learn!

it's pretty general it seems
