heres my config file, is there a specific way i need to format the sd card?
i also have been playing around with the schematic, now when theres no sd card, both leds blink but with the sd card no led comes on
I wouldn’t know. Perhaps with the SD inserted the program is not starting at all because a HW issue of some kind.
The normal behavior is green LED fixed ON with red LED blinking slowly. Whenever an audio file is playing, the red LED will blink faster.
The SD card should be formatted with FAT32 file system.
Hello, @Ivan , I didn’t know you were thr o e that wrote the code fir the wavetooeasy. Wow
I am really grateful for your assistance so far.
I have one more query, I am having issues getting the audio from thr dac, thr stm32 communicates with my arduino, and it starts playing the wav file, the led blinds rapidly, however the dac doesn’t produce any audio and when I price thr i2s pins, I don’t see any signal,
My questions are
I don’t think so. You can try to avoid initializing the codec by commenting these two lines.
You’ll probably need to modify the source. I don’t remember how the pcm5102 codec works.
Try setting this constant to 1. You’ll lose serial mode (sending commands over serial to play wav files).
Hello Ivan thank you for your last message it really helped me find the issue, (It was the hps switch of the lm49450 as well as the i2c resistors I left out.
I have gotten the ability to play wavs now. However I am currently having a noise issue. The circuit is totally silent when nothing is playing, however as I play a wav file, there’s an audible noise . Do you have any ideas,
Is this typical?
Ps I am using a boost converter to supply the 5v(tps61023) and a 3.3v ldo. I have attached a sample. I am playing a file containing 10 seconds of silence on the wavtooeasy.
Sorry for the late reply. I was out of office.
It sounds like electrical interference. Maybe a layout problem. The WaveTooEasy is completely silent (noise wise) whenever there is audio or not.
Thanks Ivan. I actually fixed it, the noise was coming from a boost converter I chose.
I am in the process of modifying how the io mode works , I have 6 buttons on my device and I want to use them to control 6 wavs. The catch is that I have multiple folders with wavs, and I want to switch to other folders using the 6th button.
Do you have any advise for me?
I am abit stuck
i modified the initializeio mode function but im looking for a way to dynamically change the folder the wavs are in. i plan on having 6 folders(00 to 05 each containing 6 wavs. then 6 buttons that play the wavs in those folders(1.wav to 6.wav) however to change folders i want to press either an extra button or the button 6 then an extra button that would switch to the folder corresponding to that button
bool initializeIoMode()
{
// Initialize players list
players.initialize(true);
// hardcoded settings for pin1 through pin6
for (uint8_t i = 0; i < 6; i++)
{
char file_path[128];
sprintf(file_path, "\\%s\\%i.wav", current_folder, i+1);
io_pins[i] = new IoPin(i, file_path, PinActiveLow, EdgeTrigger, PlayModeNormal, 5.0, DeassertPause, 5);
if (!io_pins[i]->begin())
{
debugMsg(DebugError, "Could not initialize pin %i", i);
return false;
}
}
return true;
}
thats my current code
@Ivan i would appreciate your advose.
also do you know if the stm32f4 would work with the adafruit neopixel library. i am considering rgb leds
Hi @Oluwadara_Olaifa ,
Doing a program like that will require to heavily modify the code. Perhaps modifying the IoPin class to do what you want it to do.
I wouldn’t know. There is the LedStrip Library included in the core files, but I never tested it with the WaveTooEasy (it works fine with PropBoard). It uses the SPI on pins PB5, PA6 and PA5, so I don’t think it will work on WaveTooEasy HW since PB5 is not exposed. Maybe in your board it is, or you can search for another combination of SPI pins, but again it will require some study to understand its limits on WaveTooEasy HW.
hi ivan, on my board pb5 us exposed however pb6 is in use by the i2c port for the lm49450
there are 3 ports, I2C1(PB6/7), I2C2(PB10/3), I2C3(PA8/PB4)
i2c 2 looks like the most suitable. Any idea where in the code i can change the port? then I can use the spi led controller.
if i focus my attention to the io pin class would i be able to modify it?
can i use the arduino pin naming and functions, like (digitalRead(pa0); )?
or do i need to use the io_pins[i] array (digitalRead(io_pins[2])
The function that initializes the SPI is here: https://github.com/Artekit/artekit_stm32f401-core/blob/master/libraries/SPI/src/SPI.cpp#L43
You can use digitalRead and digitalWrite with pins on the WaveTooEasy. The values for those functions can be found here: https://github.com/Artekit/artekit_stm32f401-core/blob/master/variants/wavetooeasy_v1/variant.h#L51
The mapping for the pins is here: https://github.com/Artekit/artekit_stm32f401-core/blob/master/variants/wavetooeasy_v1/variant.cpp#L47
If you use the Arduino way, you shouldn’t use the IoPin class for those pins. The IoPin class is there to glue together IO handling and audio playing.
Hi, Ivan, I put modifying the button controls on hold for abit. I have been trying to swap the lm49450 to an adau1701 that also has i2s however the code seems to be deeply meshed with the i2c functions provided by the lm49450.
I also noticed a couple of files in the bootloader, do you have any advise for me concerning making these modifications.
It’s really kicking my butt so far
I wouldn’t know how to help on this. You can try to replace the 7 function calls for the codec in the Audio Manager module.
The functions for the codec are the ones starting with “lm49450”.
I don’t recall files in the bootloader regarding audio.
Sorry @Oluwadara_Olaifa for the late reply.
The bootloader compiles with GCC. I used Eclipse CDT + ARM Cortex Plugin + GCC, and OpenOCD for flashing.
thanks, i have a working sketch currently for the stm32, can you suggest any improvements? i basically stole functions from the player.h file as well as the led strip library of the prop board

Hello @Oluwadara_Olaifa,
I’m glad you could combine all the pieces together!
I can see one thing. Maybe changing
void releaseIfStopped(Player*& player)
into
void releaseIfStopped(Player* player)
Just for clarity.
hello ivan i extracted this function from your prop bord power api however i cant seem to figure out the naming convention for this " ADC_Channel_17". i changed the read battery pin to ADC_Channel_14 thinking it would be conneted to pc4 instead of pc0 that you used(ADC_Channel_10)
`uint16_t readBattery()
{
uint16_t battery;
uint16_t vrefint;
// Read VREFINT
while (ADC_GetSoftwareStartConvStatus(ADC1) != RESET);
ADC_RegularChannelConfig(ADC1, ADC_Channel_17, 1, ADC_SampleTime_84Cycles);
ADC_SoftwareStartConv(ADC1);
while (ADC_GetFlagStatus(ADC1, ADC_FLAG_EOC) == RESET);
vrefint = ADC1->DR;
while (ADC_GetSoftwareStartConvStatus(ADC1) != RESET);
ADC_RegularChannelConfig(ADC1, ADC_Channel_14, 1, ADC_SampleTime_84Cycles);
ADC_SoftwareStartConv(ADC1);
while (ADC_GetFlagStatus(ADC1, ADC_FLAG_EOC) == RESET);
battery = ADC1->DR;
battery = battery * 1210 / vrefint;
return battery / 0.233f;
}`
@ivan i am making some slight changes to the bootloader can i possibly get your gcc commands for compiling the bootloader bin
