Hardware Overview
How does it work?
MP3 2 Click is based on the KT403A, a SOC chip solution with intergraded MCU, hardware audio MP3/WAV decoder and DSP, from Shenzhen Qianle Microelectronics Technology, as a main integrated circuit, micro SD card connector, and 3.5mm Audio Jack connector. Basically, it is a complete solution for a DAP (digital audio player) on a Click board, which can be controlled over the UART communication interface, using RX and TX pins of the mikroBUS™ socket. The default baud rate is 9600bps and it is customizable. On the MP3 2 Click, KT403A serves as a brain. It is complete SOC, which integrates16-bit MCU, audio decoder, and a 24-bit DSP. It also integrates the complete SD card interface and therefore, this click board
contains the connector onboard for an external micro SD card. Thanks to that, the user can insert a fair amount of memory if the long, continuous playback time is needed. MP3 2 Click has two status indication LEDs, onboard. The first one is named “SD Card” and it serves as an indication that the SD Card is present in the slot. The other one is “Chip Correct” and it indicates that the SD Card is correct and that the communication between the KT403A and the SD Card sucseeded. Besides the indicatora, there is one 3.5mm headphone jack onboard, so that MP3 2 Click can be connected directly to the next stage of the music playback system, ie. audio amplifier. Using the predefined command set, MP3 2 Click can be
fully controlled. One can Play/Pause a song, play a specific track, change a Volume Up and Volume Down between 0% and 100%, play the next or the previous song, repeat the current song, and more. Besides that, several sound effects are also supported, mentioned for different types of music: Normal, Jazz, Classic, Pop, and Rock. This Click board™ can operate with either 3.3V or 5V logic voltage levels selected via the VCC SEL jumper. This way, both 3.3V and 5V capable MCUs can use the communication lines properly. Also, this Click board™ comes equipped with a library containing easy-to-use functions and an example code that can be used as a reference for further development.
Features overview
Development board
Flip&Click PIC32MZ is a compact development board designed as a complete solution that brings the flexibility of add-on Click boards™ to your favorite microcontroller, making it a perfect starter kit for implementing your ideas. It comes with an onboard 32-bit PIC32MZ microcontroller, the PIC32MZ2048EFH100 from Microchip, four mikroBUS™ sockets for Click board™ connectivity, two USB connectors, LED indicators, buttons, debugger/programmer connectors, and two headers compatible with Arduino-UNO pinout. Thanks to innovative manufacturing technology,
it allows you to build gadgets with unique functionalities and features quickly. Each part of the Flip&Click PIC32MZ development kit contains the components necessary for the most efficient operation of the same board. In addition, there is the possibility of choosing the Flip&Click PIC32MZ programming method, using the chipKIT bootloader (Arduino-style development environment) or our USB HID bootloader using mikroC, mikroBasic, and mikroPascal for PIC32. This kit includes a clean and regulated power supply block through the USB Type-C (USB-C) connector. All communication
methods that mikroBUS™ itself supports are on this board, including the well-established mikroBUS™ socket, user-configurable buttons, and LED indicators. Flip&Click PIC32MZ development kit allows you to create a new application in minutes. Natively supported by Mikroe software tools, it covers many aspects of prototyping thanks to a considerable number of different Click boards™ (over a thousand boards), the number of which is growing every day.

* # Description
* This example demonstates the use of MP3 2 Click board.
*
* The demo application is composed of two sections :
*
* ## Application Init
* Initializes the driver and enables the Click board.
* Then sets the device to play songs from SD Card, and after that sets volume, and equalizer.
*
* ## Application Task
* Demonstrates the use of play, play next, and pause modes.
* Each step will be logged on the USB UART where you can track the program flow.
*
* @note
* A valid microSD Card that contains at least one mp3 sound on it needs to be
* inserted into the Click board.
