sketch for Geeetech MP3 1053 Module TF Card Shield

Using Arduino Audio
#1

I've been struggling with sketches that don't compile to use my MP3 shield. I'm new at this.

Does somebody have a sketch that works and can share it?

Sure. Here’s the simplest program I have for a Sparkfun MP3 Shield, which is the Geeetech one anyway.

include <SdFatUtil.h> 
#include <SFEMP3Shield.h>

SdFat sd;
SFEMP3Shield MP3player;

void setup() {

  Serial.begin(9600);

  //start the shield
  sd.begin(SD_SEL, SPI_HALF_SPEED);
  MP3player.begin();

  //start playing track 1
  MP3player.playTrack(1);
}

//do something else now
void loop() {

  Serial.println("I'm bored!");
  delay(2000);

}]

and a more complex one that has a push button trigger and IOT Relay built on:

#include <SPI.h>

//Add the SdFat Libraries
#include <SdFat.h>
#include <SdFatUtil.h>
//and the MP3 Shield Library
#include <SFEMP3Shield.h>

SdFat sd;
SFEMP3Shield MP3player;

int buttonPin = 4; // the number of the pushbutton pin

void setup() {
Serial.begin(9600);
// initialize the pushbutton pin as an input:
pinMode(buttonPin, INPUT_PULLUP);
pinMode(10, OUTPUT);

;

//Initialize the MP3 Player Shield and SD card
sd.begin(SD_SEL, SPI_FULL_SPEED);

MP3player.begin();
//start playing track
MP3player.playTrack(1);
}

void loop() {
// put your main code here, to run repeatedly:
int sensorVal = digitalRead(4);
Serial.println(sensorVal);
 if (sensorVal == HIGH) { {
Serial.println("on");
// turn relay on:
digitalWrite(10, LOW);
//turn on MP3 player
MP3player.playTrack(1);
delay (9000);
}
 } else {
Serial.println("off");

digitalWrite(10, HIGH);
MP3player.stopTrack();
delay (500);

 }
}]

You haven’t told us anything other than my code won’t compile, so I’m GUESSING you don’t have the right libraries installed. I know I had to hunt around the web to find a SDFatUtil.h library to go with mine, it never popped up on the IDE Libraries menu.
