Hi,
I am very very new to Arduino and in fact anything like this to be honest :). I have a project (using UNO R3) I am doing that I am looking to be able to play a telephone/mobile ring tune (not hung up on any specific format) at a press of a remote. I have been testing with tone for the moment (just test other parts of the project), but wondered what people would recommend to be able to achieve that? I suppose it will need some volume control and the ability to read of an SD card. I also need to be able to stop the sound if need be, so from what I have recently learnt I need to be able to use it in a non-blocking way. I have seen some shields, but not sure necessarily what is best and also I am trying to keep the project fairly low cost. My electronics skills aren't great, so creating something from scratch won't be possible, but can happily make something if there is something already out there to follow.
Thank you
