I have been working on the adafruit sound fx, I just wanted ask about the SoftwareSerial.h library it asks for. I tried to load the file but won't compile on the Nano33BLE.
Can you suggest how to rework the Adafruit sketch to work on a Nano33BLE, I can’t go further with the project. Even if it means writing code using Serial1 could someone explain or put some code on how to do this as I am unsure as never used this function before.
One other question, with the Nano33BLE, is it necessary and if yes, how do I calibrate the IMU? And is needed only once during initial setup or every time used?
Thanks
I could not find the link to your IMU so I used mine. Calibration is only required every 6 months, or after a rough handling, hard landings, or if your Drone is requiring an IMU calibration. The drone will inform you if calibration is required before flight, so there is no second guessing! For calibration follow the instructions that came with it.
Thanks for the reply on Calibration. I am using it for motion detection and angular measurement for a project I am making for my dog. I was wondering if there is coding I need to add to my sketch that will indicate when it requires calibration, how to set i in calibration mode(say by a push button) and if coding needs to be added to the Nano33BLE to enable it to calibrate.
I know with INAV for my drone that is all built into the firmware. But I am new to arduino and haven't had luck finding anything about this online yet.
I have been trying to get the Adafruit SoundFX board working via TX/RX on Nano33BLE which I have found out is Serial1. here isn't much info on this as it is different to other Arduino modules. I am having trouble with the code, it says I have not declared in the scope:
The Adafruit Library example code compiles for me with the Serial1 modifications suggested in the comments. As @ Juraj says, you must select the Nano33 as the board.
/*
Menu driven control of a sound board over UART.
Commands for playing by # or by name (full 11-char name)
Hard reset and List files (when not playing audio)
Vol + and - (only when not playing audio)
Pause, unpause, quit playing (when playing audio)
Current play time, and bytes remaining & total bytes (when playing audio)
Connect UG to ground to have the sound board boot into UART mode

Are you saying that the code I posted in reply #7 does not compile without error?
Please copy/paste/post the complete error message you get. It will indicate the core and all the files the compiler is using. It will be everything that shows in the black window below the sketch.
