Does the VS1053 have a pin labeled just as "CS"? When I look on Adafruit, I see a different looking board than what you have, but it does show a "CS" pin. This is the "select" pin that the master (MKR1000) uses to tell the slave to listen. Each slave must have its own "Chip Select" pin that cannot be shared. (Also call "slave select" or something similar.)

The next thing - How are you 'disconnecting' one or the other when you test? Just removing power or removing all wiring? And is all other wiring the same when the they work individually versus all wired in at ones?

In theory you should be able to have both all wired in, and run a test sketch one time for each board, just modifying the header info for the correct pinout. I would think that just removing power from the slave should effectively disable it so you can test the other board.

Hi Rob,

If you're developing approximately what I think you're developing, it is really good news. I too am on the side working on a project for autistic children.

Quite surprising how little easy-to-make stuff there is to help kids develop.
