Hi all,
I'm interested in the next challenge for PICAXE platform - playing real sound files. I have investigated sound and tune commands, but they do not seem to achieve what I'm interested in. I want to play real sound files, recorded with real microphones. I could store them on a microSD card and drive the playback with PICAXE. I am well aware there are ICs for just that - I have SOMO-14D on order for testing. Serial control seems simple enough to implement.
But now I stumbled across this thread that uses genuine PIC to play WAW files directly with almost no extra components. Never thought of it, but the frequency is achieved with PWM function. While I'm investigating this further and before I try to code something, does this sound like something that PICAXE chip could achieve as well? Or would there be not enough speed?
Thank you for your time,
Edmunds
