## Description

Buy

Review: I had an existing project that uses this chip but from a different project, and it always ran fine. When I put these chips into that project, none of them worked at all. Poor quality. Save you money.
Review: The most BASIC function: grounding pin IO_1 or IO_2 for play next or previous. Longer ground adjusts volume fine. Haven't tried using a library to program my Arduino and ATtiny85 for specific file play yet, but need to soon. The amp function works great with speaker positive to SPK_1, and negative on SPK_2 pins for mono audio on my 4 ohm 3 amp speaker in project box. MicroSD cards hold snug in slot and haven't popped out. NO discernable/significant heat from amp chip, which was a HUGE problem with the BY8301-16P MP3 Module that these replaced. Only issue is on 1 of the modules the header pins are soldered on somewhat slanted and take some fussing to insert in breadboard, but I'm not penalizing a star for that. Will update if I have problems with the Arduino library when programming for this, but until then, I'm very pleased with this purchase

## Questions & Answers

**Q: This module draws half an amp at 2v (more at 3.3v!) with no speakers connected and not running any audio and gets hot!   is that normal?**
A: No, I didn't encounter that. Do you have two speakers connected to the module? I.e., from one of the SPK pins to a speaker and to ground, and another separate speaker from the other SPK pin and to ground? DON'T do that. Only connect one speaker, from SPK to SPK, unless you have an external amp.
Why are you powering this at 2V? That's not normal. At 3.3 V, with no audio playing and no speaker connected, my module is only very slightly warm. You may have a connection error.

**Q: Can it stop after each song and wait for a trigger to play the next song?**
A: That's the way I used it. Played one piece, waited for a keypress or time-out (on Arduino), and triggered the next song.

**Q: Can I hook up an 8 ohm speaker directly to this chip?**
A: Yes but only one, between the two SPK pins. Do not do what some videos show, i.e., one speaker from each SPK output to ground. It'll work - right up until you fry the device.

**Q: Does the microSD card need to stay in the slot to play sound or is it straightforward to store on the on-board flash?**
A: The sd card has to remain in the unit. Mostly all of the boards you can easily interface with this module won’t have any decent sized on board flash to hold a music file.

### ⭐⭐ Review
*by A***R on 12 August 2021*

As others have recently noted this unit works fine as a standalone but nothing but issues with serial communication. Tried multiple libraries on Arduino, different arduinos and versions to no avail. Even reached out to a friend who has used hundreds of these (working ones). I ordered a second batch with the same result. Ordered from another seller and those worked with no issues using the latest library from dfrobot. Product images shown on listing do not match what you get. You can see in the attached pictures what to look for. 2 stars because it works fine in stand-alone but hours of frustration trying to get these to work.
