Wave shield for Arduino Mega

[TLeske]

I purchased the Adafruit audio shield (v1.1) from the Robot Shop in Montreal (see attached photo). Could you please tell me if there is a way to get it working on an Arduino Mega (2560) board. Thanks

The shield is designed to work with an UNO, but others have modified it to work on the Mega: http://forums.adafruit.com/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=10939

Thanks. Is there anyone who can help if I run into problems? It seems that the support on the site that you sent is locked.

Thanks. Is there anyone who can help if I run into problems?

That's what we do here.

Thanks. I followed the instructions at http://forums.adafruit.com/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=10939, but i) I could not find any ".o" object files in the AF_Wave library, ii) there was no jumper cable from "CCS" to digital pin 10 for me to unsolder. I get the following error message when I run the PlatAllLoop example:

In file included from /Users/tonyleske/Documents/Arduino/libraries/AF_Wave/sd_raw.h:15,
from /Users/tonyleske/Documents/Arduino/libraries/AF_Wave/AF_Wave.h:5,
from PlayAllLoop.pde:1:
/Users/tonyleske/Documents/Arduino/libraries/AF_Wave/sd_raw_config.h:89:6: error: #error "no sd/mmc pin mapping available!"

Also, do I need to have an SD card to run this example? Thanks for your help

[TLeske]

So, I have purchased the UNO just to run this shield, and I still get the following error trying to run the PlayAllLoop example:

In file included from /Users/tonyleske/Documents/Arduino/libraries/AF_Wave/sd_raw.h:15,
from /Users/tonyleske/Documents/Arduino/libraries/AF_Wave/AF_Wave.h:5,

/Users/tonyleske/Documents/Arduino/libraries/AF_Wave/sd_raw_config.h:88:6: error: #error "no sd/mmc pin mapping available!"

PLEASE help. Thanks

[adafruit_support_bill]

As noted in the documentation, AF_Wave is not supported anymore. It is not compatible with SDHC cards and may have conflicts with later versions of the IDE.

You should be using the WaveHC library and examples. http://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-wave ... hc-library

[TLeske]

OK, thanks. I now have the Wave HC library. I have formatted the sd card as instructed, and used Audacity to save a wav file to the card as instructed. When I try and run the daphc example, I get the following errors;

Can you please help?

'SdReader' does not name a type

That error means that the compiler was not able to find the library in the expected location. Make sure you have installed WaveHC in your sketchbook library folder.

See this tutorial for details: http://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-all- ... nstall-use

[TLeske]

Thanks. Basic error - sorry

I now get this error:

card.init failed
SD error
errorCode: 1
errorData: 0

Is there anything in the code that I must change to read the card?

[adafruit_support_rick]

Please post pictures of both sides of the wave shield, showing your assembly and soldering.

[TLeske]

Attached, thanks.

[adafruit_support_rick]

You're missing the jumper wires from the CCS, LAT, DI, CLK, and LCS pads.

[TLeske]

i thought that this was only if one is using the Mega. I bought an Uno especially to run the wave shield. Does the Uno also need the jumpers? Thanks

[adafruit_support_bill]

Jumpers are required. For use on the UNO, they should be installed as in the tutorial. For use on a Mega, they should connect to the Mega equivalent pins;
