This is real interesting. It looks to be rather straight forward to operate.

I have used this http://geekmatic.in.ua/pdf/Catalex_MP3_board.pdf

ebay

TTL 3.3-5v

Made a speaking clock with it, also used some other similar modules but not tried yours.

Just found my youtube link to it



forget what account I had used !!

Are DFPlayer and FN-16 the same one?

Anyway, here are my snippets using the DFPlayer module:

'Set volume
hserout [$7e,$ff,$06,$06,$00,$00,$07,$fe,$ee,$ef]   'Volume 7/30

pause 500

'Play track 3
hserout [$7e,$ff,$06,$03,$00,$00,$03,$fe,$f5,$ef] 'Play 3rd track in folder 00. Dial tone
......
hserout [$7e,$ff,$06,$03,$00,$00,$02,$fe,$f6,$ef] 'Play error tone, 2nd track in folder 00

error:
    hserout [$7e,$ff,$06,$03,$00,$00,$01,$fe,$f7,$ef] 'Play message, 1rst track in folder 00
    ......

start1:
    hserout [$7e,$ff,$06,$11,$00,$00,$00,$fe,$ea,$ef]' Stop playing
.......

The above are part of a bigger program but you get the idea of using volume and play/stop commands.

Hello to all

Ionnis you are right, soon after I started this thread, I have found that when I ordered the FN-M16P, the module I received is identified as DFPlayer Mini SKU DFR0299 or SKU 204222 depending on the supplier.

I've tried the module and it seems to work nice (for the price), the stereo hearphones out has a very good quality not so good is the 3W powered output (mono out).

If any of you plan to use this module do not use checksum and try each module to check if returns the power-on status, if not discard the module because it will never work good.

Thank you (obrigado!) to you all for your replies and contribution - Dave Purola - aerostar - Ioannis

Is it possible to use it with software serial port, instead of hserout?

And how big is delay?
These modules also support WAV file playback, so my idea is to load a bunch of samples, say 32 different wav files, and create music keyboard
