Steve. I have my Padawan 360 set up like this one; however, not using a amplifier, just running a speaker from the Sparkfun MP3 Trigger connect. With 11.9 volts, my wheels are responding with the left joy stick with no issues, I can even change speeds. But I'm not getting any sounds from any of the other buttons. I have the sound files in a folder on the micro SD card loaded. My dome motor is NOT responding as wired to the Siren10 either. I did upload the Arduino Mega Body Sketch and loaded all the libraries and I don't have them listed above the sketch as noted in the sketch. My Sabertooth 2 x 32 has a green light on, the mega ADK has a green light and yellow light, the Siren 10 had one blue light and the Sparkfun Trigger has a red light that remain on, but when I turn the power on, the green light (Status) goes on and then goes off. Any suggestions on how to troubleshoot my set up? I have triple checked all the wiring as explained on the video when you changed from the UNO to MEGA ADK.
First question is, when you uploaded the sketch, did you ensure you chose the ADK mega board from the drop down menu, as the sketch will upload if you just have the vanilla Mega selected as the board type but some stuff won’t work. Secondly just checking that you are aware you have to click start to enable the drives? Regarding sounds, make sure you have pin 1 on the mega connected to Rx on the mp3 trigger and that you have a common ground. Lastly, watch my video on mp3 drivesort in the playlist for sound info. Do you get anything if you push the toggle switch in? Do you have the power input switch on the mp3 set to usb? Hope this helps
Awesome. Please come by the art show area at Celebration. Look for the Imperial Probe Droid print. That will be my table. Jason W Christman
Cool will do, might see if I can get Tom’s IPD to come along
Where and how do I get the sounds? Is it as simple as downloading to a mini sd?
