You’ll need a SDSC FAT16 (2GB or less) card to update your firmware. Once the firmware is updated, you can use any card for normal operation, but you will always need an SDSC FAT16 card for firmware updates, since your bootloader does not support SDHC.

Hi
I saw the earlier question and the recommendation to install 2.5, which I have tried. The status light blinks rapidly for ever, indicating it did not find MP3TRIGR.HEX. Can I load the firmware from an SD HC card if my firmware is older? Or must I locate a non-HC card?

I havw an MP# Trigger V2 (I Think). It has the SD card reader abd switch on one endge. On power up it gives only one long blink of the status light. The only Micro SD cards I can buy are SD HC. Are they supported?
It still has the firmware as supplied, should I load a later version?

Hey Jamie,

Is there any way that a hardware pin can be programmed to indicate that the player is playing a track? I would love to be able to use an interrupt to let a microcontroller know when the device has finished playing the current track instead of needing to loop looking for the serial message.

Hi Jamie,
just bought an mp3 Trigger to use in an interactive artworky my wife is creating. I notice that 2.50 firmware is available but following the link on the support page leads to a ’404 error page not found’. the link to the v2.40 file works fine. Problem your end or mine?

Thanks in advance for your help,

best regards,

Nigel

mp3trigger is working great for a kiosk i created – problems only arise when i try to connect sony studio headphones. the board seems to freak out with the fancy headphones (i’ve tried several identical pairs). i’m assuming it’s because they are 32 ohms impedance vs the 8 ohms cheapies that are working fine. trouble is that the cheapies sound awful. any idea what the simplest solution is for getting the better headphones to work with this board? thanks for any info
