In the Maker Shed: Wave Shield Kit

This shield is one of my favorites; It allows you to play back audio files stored on an SD card. Just build the kit, load up a card with .wav files, add a speaker, and use the wavehc library to trigger playback in your Arduino sketch. The possibilities are limitless! Here’s a quick demo:

I am the Evangelist for the Maker Shed. It seems that there is no limit to my making interests. I'm a tinkerer at heart and have a passion for solving problems and figuring out how things work. When not working for Make I can be found falling off my unicycle, running in adverse weather conditions, skiing down the nearest hill, restoring vintage motorcycles, or working on my car.
