Quick GO TO RADIOSHACK!! Get a 11$ recording module! It can record up to 20 seconds. Now before you leave, get a motor for 2.69$. Now, you can make your own recording module controlled by a BS2.
Ok. This is for people who don't know how to hack into this little guy. You can do it the strange but easy way. Take out your recorder and module. We see a problem; you need to press a button to play the record, so unless you hack and re-wire that part of the circuit, the BS2 can't control it directly. That is what your motor is for. Ok. Let's have a look at that play button record a samply and press down. The recording plays.·Now record a sample and squash the button on the side. Nothing. Keep squashing at different angles until you hear it play. Squash again. Once you find the spot where your module plays after being squashed to the side, remember it. Now look at the motor. Epoxy yhe axle to a thread spool, so when the motor spins the thread PULLS IN! That is important. Now, epoxy some thread to your play button on the side where your spot is. Wait. Ok. Make sure your thread pulls the play button when the motor runs. Now attach two jumper wires to youre motor, mount the module on your board, attach the wires to P5 and VDD 1(start of VDD row). program your board, and there you go! What is the command you use to make the DC motor run??
PS- I didn't think this qualified for a project and that is why I chose this forum.

It's a few years old an uses the Stamp 1, but the techniques and strategies apply to the Stamp 2 as well.
