VS1003 MP3/WMA/WAV/Midi Audio Codec Module with Integrated Microphone for Arduino

Description

What it is

The VS1003 module is a multi-platform audio component for Arduino that allows the playback and recording of MP3, WMA, WAV, and MIDI files. It includes an integrated microphone for audio recording.

Features

• Supports MP3, WMA, WAV, and MIDI formats
• Integrated microphone for audio recording

What it is for

Ideally suited for audio projects on Arduino. Typical uses include creating a digital radio that plays MP3 tracks from an SD card, or implementing voice or interactive audio recording systems.

Tutorial: How to use VS1003 Audio Codec

Audio module for playing and recording MP3/WMA/WAV/Midi on Arduino. Ideal for audio projects.

What you need

• Arduino Uno
• VS1003 module
• 5V power supply

Steps

1. Connect VS1003 to Arduino: VCC to 5V, GND to GND.
2. Connect TX and RX of VS1003 to Arduino UART pins (e.g., 0 and 1).
3. Connect SPI data: SCK to 13, MISO to 12, MOSI to 11, SS to 10.
4. Install the Adafruit_VS1053 library for VS1003.
5. Load the example sketch provided by the library.
6. Check that the module connects correctly using Serial Monitor.
7. Play back an MP3 file previously loaded onto SD card.
8. Record audio through the built-in microphone and save it to the SD card.

Example code

// Includi la libreria
#include <Adafruit_VS1053.h>
// Configura il modulo VS1003
Adafruit_VS1053_FilePlayer player;
void setup() {
  Serial.begin(9600);
  player.begin();
}
void loop() {
  // Riproduci un file MP3
  player.playFile("/track.mp3");
}
