It supports various audio file operations for an audio file of MP3, WAV and WMV format, such as random music playing, play music in specific files, and so on. With serial communication, you can use all predefined command or command combinations to do all operations on music files. This module also supports general file systems such as FAT16 and FAT32. It gets a Grove UART interface, a 3.5 mm audio jack and a micro-SD slot. With this module, you can add some noise to your silent applications.

Note We have chosen Seeeduino and it is compatible with Arduino in this case. So you can also use Arduino board instead. [Getting Started on Windows](https://app.gitbook.com/Seeeduino_v4.2#Getting_Started_on_Windows) [Getting Started on Mac OS X](https://app.gitbook.com/Seeeduino_v4.2#Getting_Started_on_Mac_OS_X) ### Hardware connections ![](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/SeeedDocument/Grove-MP3_v2.0/master/img/Grove-MP3_v2.0_Demo_connection_1200_S.jpg) ### A example to run #### Download example 1.Github [address](https://github.com/Seeed-Studio/Grove_Serial_MP3_Player_V2.0) which also contain sufficient API to download codes. 2.Refer to \[here]\(/Guide\_to\_use\_demos\_downloaded\_from\_Seeed's\_Github) to learn how to do some preliminary work before running code. 3.Load file *MP3\_Play\_Test.ino* into Arduino and upload to the main controller board. 4.Open Serial Monitor (Ctrl + Shift + M) to send a command to play music. Note We need to choose No line ending beside baud rate droplist at bottom-right of Serial Monitor window. 5.In this case, we type *1* which is a command to play music. You can find more command comments in demo source code. 6.Now enjoy the music. ### Advanced programming For advanced programming, you can [download](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/SeeedDocument/Grove-MP3_v2.0/master/res/Grove-MP3_v2.0_KT403A_datasheet_V1.3_EN-Recompiled_by_Seeed-.pdf) datasheet of chip KT403A. ## Resources * Hardware [Schematic files](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/SeeedDocument/Grove-MP3_v2.0/master/res/Grove-MP3_v2.0_Schematic_files.zip) * [Libraries](https://github.com/Seeed-Studio/Grove_Serial_MP3_Player_V2.0) on Github. * KT403A [Datasheet](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/SeeedDocument/Grove-MP3_v2.0/master/res/Grove-MP3_v2.0_KT403A_datasheet_V1.3_EN-Recompiled_by_Seeed-.pdf) (part)
