Has anyone done any work with the vs1011e (b) chips combined with the Propeller yet?

    I saw an object for vs1002 in OBEX. I work with vs1000d but ended up working on its firmware in vside instead :)

    Pricing those chips, I'm starting to see why DIY MP3 kits are a bit pricey...

    /me thinks it's time to buy some of those cheap mp3 players (.01+free shipping) from HK and see if there is a usable chip/circuit board there.

    Too much to hope for?

    OBC,

    Some of those MP3 chips (I believe this includes the VS1011e) have a minimum retail price. This means the chip may cost the same as a breakout board.

    If you do purchase a VS1011e, I'd suggest the breakout board since it's the same price as the chip.

    There's a $4 version of these chip's at SparkFun...
    I bought a few, considering making a board for them...
    Completed board cost could be $10, I think...
