SparkFun Qwiic MP3 Trigger

Sometimes you just need an MP3 to play. Whether it’s a theme song as you enter the room or a power song when you are working out. The SparkFun Qwiic MP3 Trigger takes care of all the necessary requirements, all you need to do is send a simple I2C command and listen to whatever is on your micro SD card. Utilizing our handy Qwiic system, no soldering is required to connect it to the rest of your system. However, we still have broken out 0.1″-spaced pins in case you prefer to use a breadboard.

When a USB-C cable is connected to the Qwiic MP3 Trigger the contents of the microSD card appears as a jump drive. Simply plug in the Qwiic MP3 Trigger and you’ll be transferring MP3s. Sound output is provided via a 3.5mm headphone jack or poke-home connector allowing an external speaker to be connected without soldering.

We’ve written an extensive Arduino library to make MP3 playing over I2C a breeze. Play tracks, change volume, play next/previous, check if track is playing, stop play, change EQ, and change I2C address are all supported.

  • 3.3V
  • Volume, EQ setting, and I2C address settings stored in non-volatile memory and loaded at each power-on.
  • microSD supports 128MB to 32GB cards.
  • Trigger pins 1, 2, 3, and 4.
  • Up to 255 tracks can be loaded onto the SD card and triggered via the I2C interface.
  • USB-C Connector.
  • Qwiic Connector.

To be, or not to be, that is the question: Whether ’tis nobler in the mind to suffer The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, Or to take Arms against a Sea of troubles, And by opposing end them: to die, to sleep No more; and by a sleep, to say we end The heart-ache, and the thousand natural shocks That Flesh is heir to?

William Shakespeare – Hamlet

Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I’m not sure about the universe.
