VS1053 shield recording unusable

Post by forstjiri »

Hi, i bought arduino UNO VS1053 shield with recording capabilities.
It took some time to make recording to work but now i have different problem, the recorded sound is really bad. I am using Adafruit library and modified example (original didnt work).
I am using integrated microphone, switch to line in didnt work at all for me.

Re: VS1053 shield recording unusable

Post by Yoshio »

I found your post yesterday.
I merged Adafruit example and your code bellow. I think v44k1q05.img is too faster for Arduino UNO's capability. It's works fine with v08k1q05.img.
Regards,

Code: Select all

// This is a very beta demo of Ogg Vorbis recording. It works...
// Connect a button to digital 7 on the Arduino and use that to
// start and stop recording.

// A mic or line-in connection is required. See page 13 of the
// datasheet for wiring

// Don't forget to copy the v44k1q05.img patch to your micro SD
// card before running this example!


// include SPI, MP3 and SD libraries
#include <SPI.h>
#include <Adafruit_VS1053.h>
#include <SD.h>

// define the pins used
#define RESET 8      // VS1053 reset pin (output)
#define CS 6        // VS1053 chip select pin (output)
#define DCS 7        // VS1053 Data/command select pin (output)
#define CARDCS 9     // Card chip select pin
#define DREQ 2       // VS1053 Data request, ideally an Interrupt pin

Adafruit_VS1053_FilePlayer musicPlayer = Adafruit_VS1053_FilePlayer(RESET, CS, DCS, DREQ, CARDCS);

File recording;  // the file we will save our recording to
#define RECBUFFSIZE 128  // 64 or 128 bytes.
uint8_t recording_buffer[RECBUFFSIZE];
uint8_t isRecording = false;

void prepareRecording() {
  // load plugin from SD card! We'll use mono 8KHz, normal quality

I have not been able to find v08k1q05.img. Can you tell me where it can be downloaded?

It's part of the VS1053 Ogg Vorbis Encoder Application package, see http://www.vlsi.fi/en/support/software/ ... tions.html

He Pasi,

Sorry but I am quite new to all this. How can I load the plugin and the .img file. Hope you can help?

The plugin files contain both the data and the C source code to upload the data. You have to provide the SCI register write function in your own source code.

Also, the vsx053 Ogg Vorbis encoder application documentation tells how it is loaded. (As far as I remember, the encoder application needs a few writes to SCI_WRAMADDR and SCI_WRAM to first disable a few interrupts before loading the code.)
