Make Arduino Play ANY Audio File (Without SD Card) QUICK TUTORIAL 

No problem mate

Thank you so much!!! Any suggestions for upcoming videos?

Thank you so much that is awesome to hear

Thats awesome to hear! Do you have a video of this? I would love to see it

Put the "startPlayback(sample, sizeof(sample));" in the loop after some if statement so it only starts playing when a condition is met like being close to the ultrasonic sensor. Hope this helps!

Same to me😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 windows trouble shooter is telling it is incompatible file.

Can't think of any reason why this would not be possible as long as your audio files aren't bigger then the available memory.

I made this for a pokeball with sound I am currently working on but using this for a model railway als sounds awesome!😍

@@JustBaselmansYT glad to hear that.... waiting for that video....keep it up👍😀

Did you find a solution please?

It's an old laptop speaker however every 3 watt speaker should work

@@JustBaselmansYT Thank you so much!

Put the "startPlayback(sample, sizeof(sample));" in the loop after some if statement so it only starts playing when a condition is met like having pressed a button. Hope this helps!

just add the playing function into the loop, or a while loop or if you want to play it certain times, you can write a "for" cycle for it.

I think it's a 3 watt speaker

To be honest I am not sure how to transfer this for mac users, however I did upload a more recent video on audio for the arduino that's shows 3 different ways of getting audio maybe one of these is more useful for you

@@JustBaselmansYT I really appreciate the efforts you’re making to explain this, and i did find a way to do it on Mac through installing VMware and run windows to transfer the audio using the windows software and hopefully they will support Mac version on the upcoming releases.

@@iliesspace awesome to hear! good luck with your project ^^

the slow playback looks sounds like a converting problem when you are making it a wav. Buzzers not able to play it would be an powering issue, are you using an arduino uno and cable to your pc?

@@JustBaselmansYT yes sir! i cabled it to the PC and tried!

how do you mean pressing a switch? I am not 100% sure what you mean but i think you could do this by placing the line "startPlayback(sample, sizeof(sample));" after some if statement when a switch is toggled.

@@JustBaselmansYT many thanks 🙏

@@JustBaselmansYT Any chance you could do a detailed tutorial to this question above? I am new to the nano, and i'm trying to create a handheld sci-fi scanner out of a cool designed mens shaver. I hollowed out the shaver all ready for the internals. Just need the tutorial for the sound. I know how to do the static & blinking lights with a simple switch. But when the switch is pressed a single scanning sound loops, until the tactile switch is released.

You can probably download it online when you google the library

I have little experience with this but that should be possible

Nevermind, its Pin 11 but you could edit it inside of the library

@@CaptainDrakeEye make sure to use the pins suitable for outputting PWM signal, because (at least I thinks so) his code uses PWM to control the speaker

@@antkoos Thanks man

@@CaptainDrakeEye no problem

Yes, it would

I am not sure if that is possible with this library, did not need it myself and couldn’t find a solution with some google searches. Something that is always an option is to use two Arduinos that communicate with each other it is not very difficult and I guess there are many tutorials explaining how to do it.

@@JustBaselmansYT yes the reason is because I want to use a attiny chip

the programm already does that, i plays it once it gets power for one time and then stops

Put the line in the loop

I do not see why not ;)

While this may be a tedious way to do it, one way is to open the file with notepad or notepad++ then copy it to the arduino ide. I think the reason why it has trouble opening it is due to it being a pde file not an ino file. If you imported the library, the file itself should be in the arduino library under PCM -> examples -> playback.pde, if you right click it and select open with then notepad, you can then copy the code into arduino. This may be a bit much, but it worked for me. Unsure if this helps.

how exactly were you expecting to run an *Windows executable* on Linux?

@@antkoos It's actually really easy using CrossOver

Same problem

@@noahv1 Over 3 months later, I still didn't find a solution :/

@@TheFuturistPodcast download latest version of java maybe

@@TheFuturistPodcast Just download Java worked for me

Worked with latest java update

Is it a few beeps over time or only one beep everytime you run the code?

@@JustBaselmansYT it will work if add a delay

Have u figured anything out I need to do the same

The button just resets the microcontroller, the playback happens at the power-up too

@@antkoos thanks

@@Awsometurtle20 was I seriously not late? your reply was 1 month old, after all 😅

@@antkoos no ur good lol the project is on hold I haven’t bought anything lol i found another way to do it too but I think arduino is a better way to do it, the alternative is a birthday card playback module but it needs a power source and a button to actually play with the arduino it plays when powered like you said which means less stuff to worry about

You can place all the code in the setup I think

I thinks his code uses PWM to control the speaker, so you would need to check what pins could output a PWM signal on your arduino

you need to install java on your computer

This speaker is from an old laptop but any 3watt speaker will work

This is a speaker I got out of an old computer I think it is a 3 watt speaker

Yes should be possible as long as the Arduino memory isn't full if you want to play even longer music I would advice you to try option 2 of my newest Arduino video

Hi, did u find a solution? I'm facing the same issue

Use a bigger arduino like an arduino mega ;)

@@JustBaselmansYT pin 24 isnt working tho with audio

Sure, just place "startPlayback(sample, sizeof(sample));" somewhere in the loop instead of in the setup

I haven’t heard such thing and I am happy with it but definitely do your own research, formatting an audio file is also possible in other sound editors.

@@JustBaselmansYT I think it might have been big news maybe a year ago. Who knows maybe they removed said changes by now. I personally use ffmpeg.

yes just connect it

I don't know if this helps as it has been a bit since you commented this, but if your error is that it is missing javaw.exe, then an easy fix is to download/re-download java. That was my error at least and how I fixed it.

An old pc speaker but any 3 watt speaker should work

Never mind just had to install Java I was just being a nutcase

Which java

I'm getting the same error how did you fix it

@@ianhayden2839 wdym which java

Hi all, first of all many thanks to "Just Baselmans" for that great video. It is short and good explained, you can find everything you need in that video. Anyhow. I had the same problem with the "EncodeAudio.exe" program. I am mainly using "Windows 10"and on my older Laptop I am using "Windows 7". I tried following: right mouse click to the file "EncodeAudio.exe" then select the properties, then change to the tab "compatibility". Here under the section "compatibility mode" there are different software options (like Win7, Win8, Win95, Win98,...) -> just select these options step by step, until one of them is working fine. In my case it helped at least for Win-7 OS but not for Win-10 OS. Therefore I was looking here again, in the hope, that I can find the solution under the comments for Win 10, but unfortunately I could not find 😞. Can anybody help maybe? Many thanks in advance.

Hi, did u find a solution? I'm facing the same issue

@@jiaqili9104 I found a solution in using Processing aswell as Arduino IDE to play whatever audio. Maybe this solution works only for my particular case, but I essentially turned my PC into an arduino extention. Just save the audio you want to play on your computer and write a program in Processing that registers the arduino input and outputs audio on your computer. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-NhyB00J6PiM.html

Wat wil je precies in de auto meten? Probeer eerst met enkel de gyroscoop in de auto te kijken of je het gewilde signaal kan meten door alle gyroscoop data te plotten

@@JustBaselmansYT bedankt voor het reageren. Ik zou graag geluid willen hebben via een losse speaker dat wanneer ik het gaspedaal intrap er auto geluid uit de speaker komt. De auto is elektrisch en dus stil.

@@RebelDrifter ik zou het zelf denk ik oplossen met een knop op het gaspedaal die het geluid afspeelt maar je kan idd eerst testen of je een fatsoenlijk signaal kan krijgen door gebruik van een gyroscoop zoals bijvoorbeeld de mpu6050, in dat geval probeer eerst simpel een threshold te zetten en dat wanneer je boven die threshold komt dat je dan een led aanzet. Het geluid zelf is niet zo heel moeilijk daarna.

@@JustBaselmansYT Bedankt. Ik zal eens kijken of dit gaat lukken. Is het eventueel mogelijk dat ik jou inhuur? Uiteraard wil ik ervoor betalen. 😁

@@RebelDrifter uhm kan je mij eventueel benaderen via instagram? Dan kunnen we het hierover hebben @justbaselmans, maar ik denk eigenlijk niet dat jij mij zoveel nodig hebt😉

No

By following the steps in the video :) I'm not sure if I understand the question

yes definitly

I hope I do but I dont know if it will be the same kind of content, hope to inform you somewhere in the upcoming month

i used an arduino nano

@@JustBaselmansYT OK thank you!

You forgot to install java

did you find an answer pls?

It's a software that you can download

Do you power your Arduino from your PC or from a external power source?

@@JustBaselmansYT PC

Did you already try converting another sound because the conversion does alter the audio by a lot maybe the clicking is the only thing left from that specific piece of audio

@@JustBaselmansYT Yeah I even tried it with the default sound and still was just clicking.
