Connection Issues

10 Aug 2018

Hello everyone. I was able to get the Adafruit RA8875 to work with the MKR1000.

I was recently able to get the VS1053 (Adafruit Music Maker MP3 Shield) to work with the MKR1000.

The issue is when I connect them together with the MKR1000, I cannot get the MP3 shield to work.
It is not detected with the wiring I am selecting.
I am using hardware SPI so SCK, MISO and MOSI are being used.This is the wiring I am using for the RA module, MP3 Module and the MKR.

I know that the MKR has pins 0 and 1 as the interrupt pins and switching between those doesn't work.

Since I am using the breakout portion of the MP3 player, that is why I connected it to the MKR and it worked.

	VS1053	MKR1000
	5V	5V
	GND	GND
	Breakout Reset	Reset
SCK	13	9
MISO	12	10
MOSI	11	8
MCS	7	1
DCS	6	5
CardSC	4	4
DRQ	3	0


	RA8875	MKR1000
	5V	5V
	GND	GND

SCK	SCK	9
MISO	MISO	10
MOSI	MOSI	8

CS	CS	6
	RST	2
INT	INT	3

Once I am able to make these all play nicely then I will be able to use the image files and place them on the screen and then learn now to trigger a touch to play the appropriate wav file.

This challenge has really taught me the value of research, which forums do not help at all and trial and error will get you results in the end! It didn't stop Thomas Edison from inventing the light bulb after thousands of tries, it wont stop me either!
