Tricky uMP3 audio code

Greetings All;

I have a Prop-1 successfully connected & tested with the uMP3 player exactly as described in the
"Using the uMP3 with the Prop-1" thread.

I wondering if anyone has run code for uMP3 audio at all similar to my description below that I could use.

I have added a relay on P2(for fog), the PIR on P6 and the uMP3 utilizing P5 & 4.
I left P3 open in case I need a connection from the "D" pin on the uMP3 to signal the prop 1 at the
end of each track. The 5 tracks I am using are named simply 1.mp3, 2.mp3, 3.mp3, etc. 

Basically at the start of the program:

once the PIR detects motion

Start track one and hit the fog for 3 seconds
at the end of the track wait 10 seconds & check the pir

if motion detected - fog 2 seconds before starting track 2 
if no motion -reset

at the end of track 2 wait 10 seconds & check the pir

if motion detected - fog 2 seconds before starting track 3
if no motion - reset

at the end of track 3 wait 10 seconds & check the pir

if motion detected - fog 2 seconds before starting track 4
if no motion - reset

at the end of track 4 wait 10 seconds & check the pir

if motion detected - fog 2 seconds before starting track 5
at the end of track 5, fog for 4 seconds and suspend everything for 20 seconds and reset

if no motion was detected - reset



It sounds simple in concept but the audio code is above my skill level at this time.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Tombrogue

Not too tricky for "The JonnyMac"!  ;D

Note that I "rewired" your circuit -- it's better to use P6 and P7 for the serial comms with the uMP3 with the SETUP jumpers in the UP position (I won't bore you with the tech details, but it matters).  Use P5 (ULN pin intact) for the PIR input.

Hello again everyone:

First of all let me thank you Jon. I appreciate it.

For anyone, I do have a couple questions though...

Just to be sure, I am actually removing p6 and p7 when you say pins 1 and 2 correct? (fortunately I had the first 4 pins just bent out
of the way rather than clipped so I'm good with bending 4 & 5 back in).

The other question I had is this..

I'm confused about what "PC F" "S" "Z" and the "13" are. Are the F,S,P forward stop and play
commands? if so I assume that Z is a status request. This was a total guess. I couldnt see anthing to relate the 13 to.   


Thanks again for any comments.

You are going to pull the ULN2803 from the socket, do a little surgery (amputate pins 1 and 2), then put it back.
-- see this thread: http://www.efx-tek.com/php/smf/index.php?topic=130.msg476#msg476

In your case, yes, you can put pins 4 & 5 back (the ULN acts as a pull-down on P5 to prevent false triggers when the PIR is not connected).

Finally, we will write code for you all day long, but we will not hold your hand to teach you another vendor's product.  ;D  Download the uMP3 documentation (from www.roguerobotics.com) and read it.  But now that the hair on my neck is standing up... how could you be making a total guess?  The names of the routines and the comments spell out exactly what's going on!  :P

13 is the value of a carriage return character -- all uMP3 commands are terminated with this (you'll find this in the uMP3 docs).

Sorry about the questions, still working through the novice stage. Good to go on this one though thanks.

Greetings everyone;

Just wondering if anyone has time to look this over. It seems to be in the middle of playing a track & then just jump to the next track. I beliieve it is detecting motion & starting again with the first or next track. I'm wondering if it needs something in the "ump3 wait play" subroutine to kill the motion sensor if any track is playing.

I know everyone is busy but if anyone has time I appreciate it.

Did you update the LOOKUP table under the banner called "post-track delay"? -- I just loaded 10 seconds into each not know how long your audio tracks are; this should take care of the problem you're seeing.

Thanks Jon; I really appreciate your help. I am going to test and troubleshoot again in the morning. I'm sure I will have some more questions though. I am going to learn this, period!!
