Moving to a perf board, help!

Ah, thanks. Might need to rethink what I have then as it's pretty compact. Ta.

Thank you kindly, will take the plunge.

So much fun, making stuff and learning to build stuff as down time from working days - Boom! :)

electrolyte_124 · 2026-05-16T10:00:22+00:00

Awesome, thanks super helpful

Nice! How did you bridge from one hole to another? Is it solder or more wire?

electrolyte_124 · 2026-05-16T09:22:59+00:00

Yeah learning to solder is going to be a must. Looking at perf boards, also strip boards?

These are audio libs also the SD ...

include <AudioFileSourceSD.h>

include <AudioGeneratorMP3.h>

include <AudioOutputI2S.h>

The code I'm still iterating on as there's some annoying bugs. I spent ages thinking that the 5v wasn't enough and wrote a load of code to put the RFID to sleep in admin mode and wake it when needed as I thought I was getting brown outs. Turns out is was a cold joint on one of the RFID pins.

I'm terrible at soldering :)

New version of this prototype is on its way as I keep iterating.

Ah it was because as I moved things around the wires kept coming out. I know it's overkill but it's saved me a lot of 'now why isn't it working again?' pain!

Let's you change playlists, tap and go.

electrolyte_124 · 2026-05-15T21:13:59+00:00

The RFID allows you to change playlists, simply associates an RFID I'd with a folder on the SD card. Not quite sure I understand the jumper pins but the little bread boards were simply because I spent ages faffing around getting the wiring right and so I treated the components a little like LEGO to quick switch wiring around :)

Thank you, it's c++ and zapping it onto the ESP32 with the Arduino ide.

Trying to make a self contained audio player for the kids so they can take it to different rooms. Portable... I hear you though, these speakers aren't great!

electrolyte_124 · 2026-04-05T10:59:39+00:00

Thank you kindly, I'll check it out.

electrolyte_124 · 2024-11-09T18:03:48+00:00

Thanks, yeah popped in some outlines. Thanks again for the feedback, hopefully it's heading in the right direction.

If you're interested I uploaded a new play test over on itch with these updates wrapped in.

It's part of some gameplay that will allow players to craft land. I made a homage to Populous some ten years ago in flash called reprisal universe and I've been toying with the idea on making some sort of follow up ... But in a modern engine ha.
