This new revision of the MP3 player shield retains the awesome MP3 decoding abilities of the last version but adds the storage functionality of the SD card shield. Now you can pull MP3 files from an microSD card and play them using only one shield, effectively turning any Arduino into a fully functional stand-alone MP3 player! The MP3 Shield still utilizes the VS1053B MP3 audio decoder IC to decode audio files. The VS1053 is also capable of decoding Ogg Vorbis/MP3/AAC/WMA/MIDI audio and encoding IMA ADPCM and user-loadable Ogg Vorbis.

 

The VS1053 receives its input bitstream through a serial input bus (SPI). After the stream has been decoded by the IC, the audio is sent out to both a 3.5mm stereo headphone jack, as well as a 2-pin 0.1" pitch header.

After last year's meltdown of servers during SparkFun's 1st "Free Day", we sent them flowers of condolence. This year, after seeing that little image of a burning computer on their error webpage , we felt he urgent need to send down the entire Canadian fire brigade (yup, both extinguishers).

 

And who better to put out the fire on that little computer than SparkFun's IT department. Was better than last year, guys - you're making progress!

 

Thanks for sending us the pic, Nate!

If you use the SparkFun Inventors Kit in a classroom or workshop setting, you know that when a bunch of people get their hands on the same kit, things get lost/broken. That’s why we offer the SparkFun Inventor’s Kit Parts Refill Pack. This way, you don’t need to buy a whole new kit if you lose a few of the smaller or more wear-prone bits.

 

This refill pack includes new items such as servos, gearmotors, photocells, and mutli-colored buttons and LEDs. We understand that sometimes you need to replace some more pricey parts, we hope this helps!

 

Kit Includes:

 

5x Mini Photocell

5x 10k Trimpot

2x Gear Hobby Motor

2x Generic Servo (Sub-Micro Size)

2x Bag of 25 10kOhm Resistor

2x Bag of 25 330Ohm Resistor

5x 30 Pack of Jumper Wires

10x 1N4148 Diode

1x Assorted LED (20 Pack) - (5 Red, 5 Blue, 5 Yellow, 5 Green)

1x Simon Buttons (4 Pack) - (1 Red, 1 Blue, 1 Yellow, 1 Green)

Adafruit 9DOF sensor driving a tilt/yaw x/y controller. Uses a conventional (old fashion) MIDI connector. Uses Sparkfun MIDI board and a knock-off BUONO arduino clone.

SparkFun's Autonomous Vehicle Competition!!!

The diversity team, Collective Spark, has officially completed our transformation of the bicycle area, now known as the Spoke House! Another space completed by this team = BIG WU!! Our main goal, as a team, is to revamp common spaces around the building. We started with Planet Express; them moved to the Bridge area, and now the Spoke House.

Sparkfun had their autonomous vehicle competition on Wednesday, and I took an hour from work to check them out. I only got to see a few of the attempts, then took a tour of the company, and went back to work.
