    The ending 😂

  • @AleLGB
    @AleLGB 3 года назад +142

    When I received the board I had some troubles making it work properly, so I thought it was right to inform everyone about some things:
    If you connect the device to the USB on your PC and you don't see the green light, you need to flip a small switch next to the battery cables which lets you choose between getting power from the Mini-USB or battery pack.
    If you connect the board on the PC with USB, load the files, but can't hear anything when you press the button, is because this thing is NOT supposed to work when the device is recognizable by the PC. To make it work, simply pull the USB out slowly from your PC enough to unplug the device but not enough to turn off the green LED and your sound should play automatically.
    You can also regulate the volume by turning a small potentiometer on the board (usually is set to the max).
    I had to figure all this out on my own since this thing doesnt come with a manual, so I hope this might help someone!

      @@d4nk298 It's not your pc or power adapter's fault: this thing is designed to work only when the USB power pins are engaged. If the ones used for data are powered (afaik the small ones in the middle), it will go in "write only" mode and it won't play audio. I'd suggest to get a chinese adapter which hopefully only the power cables are connected, or modify one and remove the data connections by yourself.

      yup also there is a little adjustment 'screw' on the board itself that boosts the soundboards volume.

      Look up the the Chinese/Japanese characters for big and small to know which way to turn the adjuster.

    TIP if your computer isn't seeing the device when you're trying to add MP3s: Make sure the micro USB you're using to connect to the PC is data transfer capable. Most common micro USB cables (even if they have the trident logo) are actually only capable of power (charge), so the sound module won't appear like a flash drive the way it's supposed to.
    Also, you won't be able to tell if a cable is data transfer (unless you cut it), so try multiple before you give up. The one included with the sound module IS data transfer.

      @@kameronbarger2052 It was a $1 speaker from a Japanese dollar store (Daiso) but you can see if there is something similar at any dollar store.
      You could technically use any speaker as long as its 8ohm resistance. The stock speaker is also decent enough if you want to try it out. You could always swap it later.
      Alternatively you can buy something like a project box to house all the guts and just run a usb out the box. amzn.to/3byb56f
      Any plastic box you have lying around could work too.

    Playback is disabled when the board is in file transfer mode. To bypass this, you'll need to convert any micro usb cable to power only. This can be done by PHYSICALLY BLOCKING the data contacts on the usb (square side) with something. I used black tape.
    The middle two contacts are data, the outer two are power. Simply take some black tape and tape over the two center contacts so that only the two outer gold contacts are exposed.

    ***How to fix looping after car starts. After a little digging I think the sound boards from Amazon will loop after the car starts. On the board there will be 3 small resistors labeled “A B and C” to stop the looping you have to remove the B resistor. You can do this by rubbing the soldering iron back and forth till the solder melts and it will just fall off. For a detailed example to remove micro resistors you can just look it up.This should fix it!

      Try plugging it into a phone charger via usb and see if it works. The connection via USB to power can be a bit inconsistent when plugged into the cigarette lighter. Just try wiggling it around a bit.
      For me, getting a high quality usb cable worked.
      Alternatively you can try powering the sound board by cutting up a cheap USB cable and splicing the power wires on the sound board to the USB cable.
      Also make sure the button is spliced together to simulate a button press.

      I’m not a professional electrician but I recently read about an electronic part called “rectifier diode” and a “timer delay”.
      I’m thinking to connect the mp3 module to the car speaker line using a time delay and a rectifier, meanwhile playing the sound I want. The module will also use a diode rectifier and connect to the same radio speaker line. When the timer ends. The radio line will close and the module line will open.
      The purpose of the diode is to ensure the flow of electricity to one direction meaning that no voltage output from the module comes into the radio.
      Theoretically, this can work. Let me know if you have any notes on my theory 😅

      the module has a limit which i think is like 2W of power so, although you can use a more capable speaker, it might not be worth it. I used a speaker I bought from the dollar store but honestly its only marginally better than the one that comes with the module. Putting the speaker in a proper box for better accoustics had more effect.

    Hey! I ordered the module although it doesn’t play anything when I plug it in anywhere. The light on the motherboard is on which means its getting current but it isn’t playing the audio. It only worked when I plugged it into my wall charger but only that specific one. Any other plugin it doesn’t want to play the audio but it is getting current. Not even working when it is in the car. I did make sure I got a high quality micro usb. I am assuming my problem is the voltage but not too sure what else it could be. Wanted to get your opinion on this situation! Appreciate the help in advanced! 🙏🏼

    • @HazardGarage

      Yeah the module can be finicky.
      Plugged into my computer no sound. Plugged into my car w/bad cable. no sound. Plugged into a portable battery, sound.
      If the cable is high quality. You can try wiggling the micro usb connection a bit. Another user had some luck with that. Also having a good cigarette lighter usb adapter too. I think the module is VERY picky with its power source.
      As for me, getting a good cable and wiggling the connection a bit on the board side did it for me. Works every time now.
      Worst case scenario you could always use the 2 power wires (that are unused if powering via usb). Just be aware that you will need a voltage regulator as 12V to the module with fry it.
      Hope it works out! Sometimes a little wiggling around is all thats needed.

      you can use any speaker as long as its 8 ohms. I got mine from the dollarstore (daiso). The board also has a max output of like 2W so any speaker higher than that is unnecessary.
      Also the stock speaker is actually pretty decent for inside the cabin and there is a volume adjuster on the board you can crank it up a bit.

      the way its set up in the video, it only plays the track once. It'll play again anytime the power to the car turns off and back on.
      You can only have one track on the sound board at a time so if you want a different sound you'll have to remove the current one and put in another on your computer.
