I am a newbie at Arduino. I have a wave shield and I'm trying to play a wav file when I press a button. I have the code below which works, but it just loops all of the files on the SD card. How can I get it to play a certain file when I press a certain button:
/*
* This example plays every .WAV file it finds on the SD card in a loop
*/
#include <WaveHC.h>
#include <WaveUtil.h>
SdReader card; // This object holds the information for the card
FatVolume vol; // This holds the information for the partition on the card
FatReader root; // This holds the information for the volumes root directory
WaveHC wave; // This is the only wave (audio) object, since we will only play one at a time
uint8_t dirLevel; // indent level for file/dir names (for prettyprinting)
dir_t dirBuf; // buffer for directory reads
/*
* Define macro to put error messages in flash memory
*/
#define error(msg) error_P(PSTR(msg))
// Function definitions (we define them here, but the code is below)
void play(FatReader &dir);
//////////////////////////////////// SETUP

for (part = 0; part < 5; part++) { // we have up to 5 slots to look in

Yeah I've used these but these are not woking with my wave shield their isn't enough digital pins on my wave shield, i think the code is set for a duemilanova, so i was wondering if there is a way to add to this code which loops a track so that plays 4 different wav.files for 4 different buttons.
Thanks
yeah sorry i didnt... am using an uno, there code that I've put up works with my arduino and wave shield it loops a song, but the other ones don't probably because the code is set up for duemilanove, I've tried to change the code to suit my board but am not having much luck.
The audio plays but without the button being pressed, if you move the wires out of the analog pins the next track will play e.g. if i take out the first wire to the button the second wav file will play for the next button but it just loops it and pressing the button has no effect.
This is the code am using, that i think is for a duemilanove, but its for 6 buttons and 6 sounds.

you want to have .wav files on the SD card.. and .....??
how many buttons do you have/want?
what are the buttons to do when pressed? play a certain file form the SD card?
are you sure you are using the correct sample sketch? some let a button press interrupt the current sound with a new sound.. some do not..etc.... do you have 6 buttons?
Ive made a Daft Punk Guy Manuel Helmet Replica and didn't use an arduino for my sequences. I know i probably should have used an arduino, but i went the route of led chasers and the transistor board.
ahem...anyways, since then i wanted sounds in the helmet, so i bought a Duemilanova and Waveshield. I would like to have the wave shield play a sound when i press the tactile momentary switch buttons on my other devices (3 LED chasers, a voice changer).
suggestions?
I read your post with interest as I appear to be having exactly the same problems that you are/were having. The forum here doesn't state whether you succeeded in resolving the issue so I have to ask... Did you get it sorted?
I have an Arduino Uno R3 with Waveshield. I want to play 7 gameshow sound effects (I am a teacher and wanted to create some sounds to accompany revision session by making it into a gameshow). I got the DAPHC code to work without any problems and like you, the wav files on the SD card all played in rotation. However, Adafruit's play6_HC example refuses to play despite the fact that the card initialised and was ready. I am, of course, a newbie and wired the arcade button straight to the waveshield to receive the message:
WaveHC with 6 buttons
Free RAM: 613
Using partition 1, type is FAT32
Ready!
Couldn't open file SOUND1.WAV
Read the lesson 5 on adafruit reference the pull-up/pull-down resistors (Arduino Tutorial - Lesson 5) and created a pull-up resistor circuit that worked great with the exercises etc.
Still no joy!
To cut a very long story short, I can't get my waveshield to play a wav file when I press the button! All of the examples display exactly the same message...
