Custom sound not playing

Tibor Udvari 04 Jan 2017 13:50

I have tried to make some custom sounds with the instructions over here: https://www.thymio.org/en:thymioapi.

I have tried

• naming one of them as S0.wav, did not hear it at startup
• renaming my files with small and large p at the beginning (P5.wav + p5.wav)
• tried using other sound libraries contributed by other users
• upgrading the firmware to the latest version
• formatting the USB stick with exFAT instead of mac journaled

It still does not appear to be working.

I started with the code Thymio music instrument code https://www.thymio.org/en:thymiomusic and then further simplified it for debugging:

onevent button.forward
    call sound.play(0)

No luck. Please help.

Hi Tibor,

I think the problem is the filesystem you are using: It must be a (simple) FAT(32) file system, all others will not work. Usually most USB sticks are sold preformatted with a FAT32 system.

Thanks Basil,

It seems to be working now.

I hate it when it is literally the last thing you try.
