AdafruitAudio FX Mini Sound Board - WAV/OGG Trigger - 2MB Flash [ADA2342]

This board exceeded my expectations! After uploading the WAV files I was gobsmacked with the playback sound quality. I will definitely be using this on all our projects!

Just what I needed - Excellent service too.

I have this one, the 16mb version, and the 16mb version with the onboard amp. Each has their strengths and their flaws.This 2mb version requires an external amp (or simply amplified speakers) and is picky about its power. (Ideally you'd run this off 3x fresh lithium AAs.) 2mb may not sound like much, but if you're just going for soundeffects, you can get a lot in there.Programming is easy and simply requires a laptop or tablet with a USB port and Microusb cable. Easy peasy. Highly recommended!

Ordered this and got the wrong idea of it's capabilities, returned. I imagine it's good for cosplay, lightsabers, that sort of thing with very short audio clips that can only play one at a time. HOWEVER - you can change the file names to make them one-shot, loop, and play different ways.For my use it didn't work out for the build I was planning, but that doesn't mean it's not a good piece of hardware. Quite the opposite, Adafruit is a great company with great products, just check the pinouts, reviews and FAQ before you buy to make sure it's right for your projects.

As mentioned, in another review, three AAA batteries will not properly power this, despite what Adafruit tells you. The power light will come on but sounds will not trigger. I switched to a USB power supply (don't try to power through USB data connection, that won't work either) until I can figure out what kind of battery pack will work. Took me hours to figure this out.
