Ello! Names Victor and I've been playing with Arduino pretty much since summer. I got the wave shield and had no problem soldering it together and playing some lovely tunes. I don't have an issue in that realm. Seeing as the SD connections on the wave shield are the same on the datalogger shield I also had no issue programming the waveshield to log sensor data to my SD card. Now, the issue is combining the two.
My first go at it, my problem was RAM. I was running out..actually going to the negative zone (like -450 haha). With some memory optimization I was able to bring it down to -100 (Not really much better). So because I was not having much success, I was told of a nice library that was programmed to do something similar; the WaveRP library. I downloaded it and fell in love. It essentially did everything I wanted..but in blocked off parts (It needs user serial input) .
It plays wave files and also records them to the SD card. I used the base code in the example program and had no problem programming it to play wav files. When it came to logging the data to the SD card, I was actually able to get it to do it once and log it to an txt file. It logged weird unreadable values though.
Please help me if you can. I went to the adafruit forum and got little help. I'll post the code I used to finally log values (although useless and unreadable) to my SD card and play a wav file. Please help me get to my goal!
My goal is to essentially log the data streaming from the sensor, and if that sensor input passes a certain threshold, pause the data collecting, play a wave file, and once completed, return back to data collecting.
P.S. The code below is a slimed down version. I took out the functions I did not use. If you want the full thing, let me know. Sorry for any typos, it's pretty late.
Edit: Opps, looks like my code goes over the character limit. Trying to reduce without complicating program..Will post as soon as possible. In the mean time, conceptual advice is more than welcomed!

pull all functions and text not relevant to the problem
Where are the logging to file calls? i cant see em.. and your only reading the sensor input the once when declaring the variable sensorreading, adding a sensor reading call at the end of the main loop will load it for the next time round.
your main loop should look more like
loop{
read sensor
log sensor
if sensor > threshold
do over threshold sound stuff

Thank you for the reply!
Yea, I understand. I am actually re-writing the code from scratch since there was so much extra baggage in the example.
I like your method but the problem is I won't have a user input (serial wise). The system would need to simply do it by itself. My main problem is finding a way to stop the log functions to play the wav files since the arduino can't do both.
It would look like this
loop(x){
read sensor
log sensorInput
if (sensorinput > threshold)
pause log sensorInput
play wav file
continue log sensorInput
}
I just don't know how to pause and continue the log functions. There are functions like that for wav like wav.pause and wave.play. I also thought about a delay, but that would delay the entire system, not just the data logging.
Coldsoldier:
Woah. Never thought about it. So it should look something like
loop{
sensorInput
while (!wav.play){
log sensorInput
}
if (sensorInput> threshold)
wav.play
}
logsensorInput
Not sure if I used the (!wav.play) correctly
in the example the playfile function plays the file and then while its playing loops continually calling the
pasueresume() function which i guess (cos im too lazy to check) is listening on the pins assigned to pause and resume buttons for input,
to play a file without a break from user input from buttons a new PlayUninteruptedFile() fuction (im sure you can name it better) could be made by copying the original and deleting the call to pauseResume() so your new version just loops while the file is playing, and when complete drops out of the funtion back to your main loop.
so you have a function to play a file with pause resume ability when you want that and a playfile till finished funtion to call when you want the file to play and do nothing till finished
A lot of arduino libraries come with a manual which lists the functions thier paramaters and return values, if not present or available easily online, the .h files or header files contain the information too These are generally very well annotated to make things clearer too.
I see. I'm not sure I'm understanding. The problem is that I can't add the .pause to the Logfile/logData functions so I can't stop them and play my wav file. The arduino does not have the capability to play wave files and log data to the SD card at the same time. The pauseResume takes a user inputed via serial and runs it to a database where it processes a command based on the input. I could change that and make it based on what my sensor is reading like
c = analogRead(sensorInput);
while(wav.isPlaying){
if (c = 100;)
wave.stop
}
I want to do this with my logData functions. But I don't think it allows you to, atleast the way I've tried (As in you logData.pause is not recognized)
Something like this is what would be ideal in a perfect world
c = sensorReading
while (logData){
if c = 100;
logData.pause
playFile("case1.wav);
delay(1000)
logData;
It might be better for me to make a log function with a break thrown in
while(42){}
do if it was the first line of your main loop?
the condition for a while statement must equate to true or false where false is 0 and true is any other value
and the statements executed within a while LOOP repeat until the condition tested is false
so while(wave.isPlaying()){} will sit and do nothing because it has nothing to do within its { and } and will continue doing nothing until wave.isPalying()=False, when it has finished playing.
Oh I see. I assumed that if a function was called before the while loop, it would continue to run even when the while loop returns true and does nothing. It was my thought the while loop would do nothing as in (do nothing new) and any other functions called before it would continue to run.
loop{
logData
while(wave.isPlaying){};
}
Would this still run the logData function even when it's called outside of the while loop? or would the while loop stop running the log function?
I see your point now though. I was over thinking it a bit.
the best way to investigate whats happening in a small sketch is to load it with serial write and print statements to tell you whats happening where you are and what value your control variables are.
for example in a loop using int x as a counter if it should stop before x reaches 10
and you have a print statement or 2 printing out x within that loop and you see 11 in the output you know there is a problem there
Ah, I reprogrammed it and got REALLY close to getting everything to work the way I want.
I ran into a small problem though. I get (“error file is open”)
Heres my setup and Loop

The error comes from this function. I’ll highlight/bold the exact line of code.

logTime = micros()/(1000UL*SAMPLE_INTERVAL_MS) + 1;
logTime *= 1000UL*SAMPLE_INTERVAL_MS;
}
I don’t understand why the error is showing up. I have plenty of ram so I’m not really sure how to approach it.
if the error is file open its probably a file that didnt get closed when you exited with a crash with the file open?
whats the file system and how does the arduino access it and flag a file as open? its going to be a byte somewhere in the file header but the file library your using may well have tools for this situation i dont know?
to avoid unexpected exits with a file open make a record of data in advance and verify it before opening the file, writing the record, and then closing the file asap.
Yea I used the if (file.open) file.close and solved the error but then I run into a different problem. Once I close the file, it completely stops logging data.
I solved it. Turned out I need to also close the file after running the wave file and then restart the setup. Thank you for your diligence and expertise! I really appreciate it
