    Thank you very much Martyn. A perfect walkthrough for my kids to follow. Just received delivery of 2 of them along with 2 diy line following robots. Still waiting for a diy radio kit that I ordered as well.

    I read on one of the vendors' stores that the 470uF caps go in series with the speakers, to improve the bass response. Mind the polarity.

      Series or parallel? Series wouldnt work would it? Also what does the potentiometer do?

    • @StevePotter
      @StevePotter 7 месяцев назад

      The trim pot adjusts the threshold of clocking the LEDs. Yes, series works for the caps to speakers.

    That was great fun....thanks, Martyn! I have several different types of these Chinese BT MP3 players now that i build up from incredibly cheap parts and plastic tubes into great sounding players. Thanks!

      The modules themselves are so compact that all kinds of builds are possible.

    If you just want a MP3 player with a built in speaker, the Retekess V115 is really quite decent. has a micro SD card. plus it's a radio so if you want to listen to the radio it gets pretty good reception.
    but you can also use a USB cable or line in for audio as well.

    For some reason my LEDS don’t work at all and I didn’t get a spare capacitor in the box either

    • @MartynDavies
      @MartynDavies  Год назад

      I would check that the 4017 chip is getting power - pins 8, 16 on that chip. If it is powered there should be one LED on.

    I built a wired speaker kit from banggood and incorporated a bt unit into it. I also found I had to run it from a plug in supply as it was drawing to much current for a smaller power brick!

    • @MartynDavies
      @MartynDavies  2 года назад

      The big brick at the end of the video can source 1.5A, so this is plenty.

    Hi, thanks for your video.
    I have everything ready now and everything seems to work fine except for one detail, the sound is so low that you can't hear any sound even at the highest volume.
    I also felt that the white panel is a bit warm.
    I don't know why but I got a pair of capacitors 470uF 16V in the package. The capacitor solution do not work for me.
    What could be the cause?

    • @MartynDavies
      @MartynDavies  5 месяцев назад

      I would visually inspect the bluetooth/amp board and make sure there are no shorted wires/solder splashes and so on that might be affecting the amplifier. I haven't looked in detail at this board, but I suppose that one of the 3 chips is a class D amplifier chip, so I would look around this one for potential problems.

    I got and built this last week and it worked great for a couple of day, but nownthe BT does not show up anymore :^(

    • @MartynDavies
      @MartynDavies  5 месяцев назад

      As far as I know, it listens for pairing for a short time after power-on. I'm not sure that there is any way to force the player to rescan other than power-off/on. You can try doing "forget device" on your phone/tablet, switch to airplane mode and back on again, then you can be sure that it will scan and try to attach anew.

    • @BrFishWPB

      International shipping prices out of China seem to have increased quite a bit in the last year; I'm not sure why this is.
