How to load a code onto the basic stamp to be played through a speaker

geoff.miles

I want to load an actual mp3 onto my BASICstamp. Not just notes to be played through the piezo speaker. If anyone can help me that would be great.

With an EPROM size of 2K bytes and RAM size of 32 bytes it would be impossible to store an MP3 file. Not to mention the BS2 could not handle a MP3 decoder.

I would recommend and of the shelf device such as a Vmusic2. You can see how to use it with a BS2 here:

They can be controlled by simple serial commands from the BS2

You might take a look at what the Propeller can do with an MP3 file.

The Propeller is underpowered for decoding MP3 files. There are several WAV file players using a Propeller including EFX-TEK's AP-16+.

Sir Green - did you mean that the BS2 is underpowered for decoding MP3 files?

Both the BS2 and the Propeller don't have enough power to decode MP3 files.

I think Mike was replying to Loopy's suggestion to use a Propeller.

There are external MP3 decoders that can be used by the Propeller and probably the BS2 as well.

You might want to check out this thread, the players are a LOT cheaper. I am doing a project with the mp3 module from mdfly.com and controlling the player with a Homework board.
