Okā¦
I have struck a problem with positioning the āplayheadā within a file. What happens is when I try to play a file from a time bigger than 255 seconds from the start of the file it moves back to the start of the file as if 255 (a byte?) is a limit even though the functions are supposed to be uint16_t !! I wrote a simplified test code which plays at various positions through a file in jumps of 20 seconds. When I get past 255 ish it starts from the beginning again. See the data at the bottom.
I am using an Arduino Nano clone to control the DFPLayer Pro
Code and data belowā¦
/*
Night Time Podcast Player - Testing
*/
#include <EEPROM.h>
#include <DFRobot_DF1201S.h>
#include <SoftwareSerial.h>
SoftwareSerial DF1201SSerial(2, 3); //RX TX
DFRobot_DF1201S DF1201S;
uint16_t count = 0;
// ========== Set Up ==============
void setup(void) {
//Serial Monitor
Serial.begin(9600);
//DF1201S Serial
DF1201SSerial.begin(115200);
while (!DF1201S.begin(DF1201SSerial)) {
Serial.println("Init failed, please check the wire connection!");
delay(1000);
}
// ---- Setup Player ------------------------
/*Set volume*/
DF1201S.setVol(1);
/*Enter music mode*/
DF1201S.switchFunction(DF1201S.MUSIC);
/*Set playback mode to "repeat all"*/
// DF1201S.setPlayMode(DF1201S.SINGLE);
Serial.println();
}
void loop() {
//set file number
DF1201S.playFileNum(2);
DF1201S.setPlayTime(count * 20);
Serial.print(count * 20);
Serial.print(",");
delay(1000);
uint16_t playTime = DF1201S.getCurTime();
Serial.println(playTime);
count++;
DF1201S.pause();
delay(500);
}
