Help! Our band needs a sound effect to be played, quickly and with minimal fuss. So why not make a custom box to be on hand for anytime a sound effect is needed. With an STM32 microcontroller and a speaker I set out to make a box to do just that.

    Those both sound like cool projects, communicating with birds is an interesting idea/project

    I think it'll be defined by the file size limit, so 10mins+, it blocks whilst playing, so you couldn't play a second sound over the top of an already playing sound though. Could be changed to mix sounds I'd imagine though.

    I have built a couple of designs that do this function - both from MP3 player modules.

    One was used in a  robot for sound effects corresponding to various robotic functions.

    One was used to interact and communicate with birds (designed for a researcher's thesis project)

    hifromkatie  Nice project.  I anticipate that it will get some use around Halloween as well.  Laughing  Motion sensor in lieu of the foot pedal...

    Great build - what is the maximum duration of a sound?
