playFile()

Description

Play a .sqm music file stored on a SD card. Robot.beginSpeaker() and Robot.beginSD() are both required in setup().

Unlike Robot.playMelody() and Robot.playBeep(), playFile() does not halt other processes while playing. However, you cannot load new images on the LCD screen when playFile() is in use.

Valid files for playback are generated/converted by the sound library Squawk. See the library README for details on how to create your own music.

Syntax

Robot.playFile(filename)

Parameters

filename: file name of the music to be played

Returns

none

#include <ArduinoRobot.h> void setup ( ) {

Robot.beginSpeaker ( ) ; //Initialize the sound module
Robot.beginSD ( ) ; //Initialize the sd card
Robot.playFile ( "melody.sqm" ) ; //Play the original music come with the robot.
} void loop ( ) {
//do other stuff here
}
