Triggering Wave shield to play different .WAV files.

I have worked on this project, and I am a straight newbie does not have much of coding background.

GOALS : Triggering Wave shield by the volume of area to play different .WAV files.

I have a MIC-AMP max4466 which has Analog pin , gnd, 3v pin.

I have a Wave shield from Adafurit

I have a Arduino Uno.

So far what I have done.
-playing WAV files from WaveHC example's dapch example - successful
-measuring Volume level through mixing someone's (Basic sound sensor sketch for Arduino · GitHub) + (Measuring Sound Levels | Adafruit Microphone Amplifier Breakout | Adafruit Learning System) = learned how to set a threshold values to trigger LEDs to light up with certain volume.

Now, I have to combine these two together, and code it.

But, I am stuck at this phase that adding two different codes does not really work.

Here is my logics

    1. read the WaveShield settings, and read wav files from the SD Card.
  1. play 'NOTRAINN.WAV' from the sd card,
  2. read Analog output's value through serial monitor,
  3. Set a threshold values, and if the input goes over the thresvalue, play different WAV files which is loaded in the sd card.
  4. if the volume goes back to normal, play 'NOTRAINN.WAV' from the sd card. from step 1
  5. loop it.

#include <SdReader.h>
#include <avr/pgmspace.h>
#include "WaveUtil.h"

FatVolume vol;    // This holds the information for the partition on the card
FatReader root;   // This holds the information for the filesystem on the card
FatReader f;      // This holds the information for the file we're play
WaveHC wave;      // This is the only wave (audio) object, since we will only play one at a time
int threshold = 1; //Change This has to be higher than 1
int volts;
const int sampleWindow = 80; // Sample window width in mS (50 mS = 20Hz)
unsigned int sample;
int Analoginput = A0;
int timer = 143;           // The higher the number, the slower the timing.
char ledPins[] = { 6, 7, 8, 9, 15, 16, 17 };       // an array of pin numbers to which LEDs are attached
int pinCount = 7;           // the number of pins (i.e. the length of the array)
int val = 0; 
int thisPin;

// this handy function will return the number of bytes currently free in RAM, great for debugging!

I am so stuck. I know that I should start from the baby steps, but I do not have any coding experiences that I can use. I've worked on this project for a month so far, and I am so ready to move on.
please 
Help me Guys. 
:( thanks! :)

In order to get it to work you will need some code in loop() that does something. So far everything is in setup() and that only runs once at startup. Oh and you will need a program which compiles and yours doesn't now.

If I understand you correctly you are trying to combine two sketches each of which you have working separately. If that's right it might be a good idea to post both of them (using </> code tags) so we know what you're starting from.

Hi! How are you guys doing?
I really have to figure this out
"how the Arduino identify two different sounds ,And how to make it play certain ones during certain instance."


    1. read the WaveShield settings, and read wav files from the SD Card.
  1. play 'NOTRAINN.WAV' from the sd card,
  2. read Analog output's value through serial monitor,
  3. Set a threshold values, and if the input goes over the thresvalue, play different WAV files which is loaded in the sd card.
  4. if the volume goes back to normal, play 'Train.WAV' from the sd card. from step 1
  5. loop it.

I tried, but I cannot fix this to work.
I need a desperate help.

This report would have more information with
"Show verbose output during compilation"
option enabled in File -> Preferences.

If it is urgent wouldn't it have been a good idea to take a few minutes to figure out the proper section of the Forum before posting your question.

And I don't like it when people say their problem is urgent. It seems as if you expect to get an answer before someone else who is more patient.

My apologies, I kinda knew that someones would reply me back in this way.

But, I had to do this. Somebody really generous might feel bad for my urgency and help me out..?

@ojr0215, do not cross-post. Threads merged.

how the Arduino identify two different sounds

What sort of sound? Normally this sort of thing is impossible on the Arduino because it has so little memory.
