,,, Instruction Overview

Board accepts audio input from any non-amplified sound source (computer, CD player, or Digital Sound Board) and when the volume reaches a certain level, it activates an on board 10 Amp relay. The relay can be used to switch another device on and off in sync with the volume of the input. There is an on-board potentiometer that is used to adjust the sensitivity to the incoming sound. The board has a 1/8" phono jacks for input that can be switched as a left or right audio input signal. An on board LED indicates when the 10 Amp relay is activated. Relay has NO, Com, NC wire terminal block contacts (form C relay). Board operates from 12 VDC power supply.
1/8" miniplug audio input jack

( Power Supply, Sound Source Audio Cable not included )

Board accepts audio input from any non-amplified sound source (computer, CD player, or Digital Sound Board) and when the volume reaches a certain level, it activates the on-board delay timer relay circuit on. The relay can be set to switch off after a delay time period.

Sound Input: There is an on-board potentiometer that is used to adjust the sensitivity to the incoming sound. The board has a 1/8" phono jacks for input that can be switched as a left or right audio input signal. An on board LED indicates when the relay circuit is activated.

Timer Relay: When triggered by the sound circuit, on-board relay will turn ON for a specified period of time passing power to the connected device. Time is controlled by a simple method using "timing resistor" which are easily replaceable by the user. Time intervals can range from less than a second to about 50 minutes approximately +/- 5%.
On board wire terminal blocks for quick set-up
User supplies timer resistors appropriate for their application - available at any electronics supply store (i.e., Radio Shack). See overview info sheet on Resistor Time Chart and associated Time Delays
Relay has NO, Com, NC wire terminal block contacts (form C relay). Board operates from 9-12 VDC power supply. Relay and Board power can also be powered together from one supply , or different power supplies can be used for different devices connected to switching relay.

( Power Supply, Sound Source Audio Cable not included )

Control Board operates a R/C servo motor in response to sound from a non-amplified sound source (computer, CD player, etc.)
Features:
Audio Indicator LED responds directly to the incoming audio
On-board sensitivity adjustment (Potentiometer)
Duo Audio Jack sound input and output,- two 3.5 mm (1/8") audio jacks
On / Off power switch with LED.
LED status indicators.
Servo range movement setting, min and max servo limits can be programmed.
Board operates by converting the volume of an incoming sound from an audio source to a voltage signal which is sampled by a PIC microcontroller. When this voltage exceeds a certain amount, the PIC actuates a servo. The sampling rate is very fast which gives a nice servo response to the incoming audio volume.

Audio input can be stereo or mono. If using stereo, there is a small slide switch that is used to select which side (right or left) you want to use. If you plug it in to a stereo source, it will only respond to one channel of the sound. This can be an advantage if you have two of these boards ­ one using each side of the stereo output. Great for applications like bantering skulls ­ just record each skull's banter on separate channels. If you want to mix both channels together, use a Stereo to Mono adapter and plug it into the audio input jack.

Board operates from regulated 9 VDC @ 1 Amp power supply.

Setup Overview

Convert MP3 High Rate Audio Files to VMusic2 Module 2400 Rate Audio File

The files you are using may not be in a MP3 Audio format that the player can use correctly. Under a PC there actually modified MP3 files that are recorded and saved in a different format (Sample Rate) even though there MP3 files. Your files may have been saved or ripped as MP3 files but with a sample rate of (44100 and bit rate (144kbps). This sampling is a special MP3 format for higher quality playback sampling on PC's. This sample and bit rate is not a true MP3 format that the VMusic2 Module and audio playback controller board can use correctly. The True MP3 sample rate is only at 24000 for VMusic2 Module.

What you need to do is
Down load the free Audio File Editor Audicity
http://audacity.sourceforge.net/download/

Once you have Audicity down loaded and operating on your PC, then Open or Import the MP3 files that you have.
Once the file is imported, then go and Export the file as MP3, you will see a Invalid Sample Rate dialog box come up indicating that the MP3 file is at a different sample rate then normal.
The Sample Rate may be already adjusted for you (24000) or you may need to pull down the dialog box selection bar and select the sample rate of 24000.
Once you have selected the 24000 Sample rate then click OK and let the new file over write the Audio file you are converting
Load , Drag and Drop the converted files on the USB Flash drive and try the converted ones, everything should work well on the VMusic2 Moduke and playback controller

Formatting a SanDisk Flash Drive

* It is recommended to format the Flash Drive as a FAT bit setup.
* All Audio files must be at the root level on the Flash Drive and not inside any folders.
* The audio files should be the only items on the Flash Drive

Check your USB Flash Memory Drive to see that it has been formatted as a blank drive, before adding you new sound files, Some USB Flash Memory Drives have a security or Auto Boot feature that prevents the MP3 player from using the sound files correctly even when formatted. Re-format your USB Flash Memory Drive removing any security or Auto Boot formats first. (Format USB Flash Drive as a MS-DOS FAT) Try a different USB Flash Memory Drive type, as some manufacture brands operate different than others.
