Greetings all! I’m working on a simple animatronic project (six servos) and am opting to start with the SSC-32U controller board to power the thing.
Any tips on finding a compatible and easily trigger-able (from the SSC-32U board) audio playback add on board? I’m looking to power a small speaker to embed into my project.
Also, any recommendations for methods to hook up a button to trigger my show profile?
thanks in advance!
@RadRobo Welcome to the forum.

If you need it to be triggered by the SSC-32U board, the input would need to be RC PWM or digital.
Note that the SSC-32U on its own has no onboard intelligence, so you’ll need an external microcontroller or computer to send commands.
It’s likely easiest to have that external device handle the audio as well.

Note that you can use any shield-compatible microcontroller if you want the MP3 shield below:
