FLASH MEMORY W25Q64 SOUND RECORDER AND PLAYER FOR PIC16F1827 / PIC12F1822
The ADC digitizes the sound and store it in the flash memory. 64 Mbit is enough for about 800 seconds recording. CCP1 in PWM mode is used to convert the digital data back to audio. The sound is recorder at sampling of 10KHz in a format similar to .wav files. WAV file is 54 bytes of heading followed by succession of bytes of amplitude sampling of the sound. The quality of the recorded audio is low because the PIC ADC is pushed beyond its limites, good for speech or greeting cards. W25Q interfaces the PIC in SPI mode. Reading and writing data is in entire chip mode.
When pressing RECORD erasing the chip is done first and after about 10 seconds recLED is ON to signal the start of the recording.
Audio input is 1Vp-p , you can use the mic circuit below or other source. For speaker amplifier see below. Player: Plays flash memory w25q64 that was programmed by CH341 programmer project below or by any other SPI programmer. The player produces reasonable quality sound.

FLASH MEMORY W25Q64 CH341 PROGRAMMER
Programmer to upload WAV file on w25q64 flash memory. WAV files up to 8MB can be uploaded and played by Arduino or PIC16F1827 above projects. Writing the memory follows erasing the chip that takes up to 30 seconds. The app is in Visual Basic VS2010.
Sound files have to be converted to wav type files PCM 11,025 KHz 8 bit Mono, max size 8MB.
In the app click Connect, find the file to upload and click Erase and Write, wait until indicated that writing is complete (up to 30 seconds).
SD/SDHC CARD SOUND RECORDER PIC16F1827
The ADC digitizes the sound and store it in the SD or SDHC card. The firmware works for SD or SDHC cards only. The code detects whether the card is SD or SDHC and selects the proper addressing system for the card.
The PIC's CCP is used as a DAC to convert the digital data back to audio. The sound is recorder at 20KHz 8 bits mono in a format similar to .wav files. WAV file is 54 bytes of heading followed by succession of bytes of amplitude sampling of the sound. The quality of the audio is reasonable.
SD card interfaces the PIC in SPI mode. Reading and writing data is in multi-blocks. Memory is used at the rate of 20KB/s. The Error LED indicates error sent by the SD card. The software doesn't use any file system, it just uses absolute memory addresses (raw).
Audio input is 1Vp-p , you can use the mic circuit or other source. The CCP in PWM mode gives 20KHz wave with duty cycle modulated to the audio amplitude. A low pass filter removes the 20KHz component. I added a simple 2 transistors amplifier to boost the power to drive 32 Ohm speaker or headphones. For speaker amplifier see below.
Code C for MPLABX with XC8. HEX files included.
SD/SDHC CARD WAVE PLAYER PIC16F1827 / PIC12F1822

Add the files to the root directory
of the card (don't use a subdirectory).
SD/SDHC CARD SOUND RECORDER
The PIC16F876A's ADC digitizes the sound and store it in the SD or SDHC card. The firmware works for SD or SDHC cards only, for old SD (before 2009) use ver1 firmware. Do not use SDXC cards with this project because some of them work on 1.8V drive. The code detects whether the card is SD or SDHC and selects the proper addressing system for the card.
The PIC's CCP is used as a DAC to convert the digital data back to audio. The sound is converted to 20KHz 8 bits mono in a format similar to .wav files. WAV file is 54 bytes of heading followed by succession of bytes of amplitude sampling of the sound. The quality of the audio is reasonable.
SD card interface the PIC in SPI mode. Reading and writing data is in multi-blocks. Memory is used at the rate of 20KB/s. The Error LED indicates error sent by the SD card. The software doesn't use any file system, it just uses absolute memory addresses (raw). Since the programme is less than 680 bytes there is much resources left for adding features.
Audio input is 1Vp-p , you can use the mic circuit or other source. The CCP in PWM mode gives 20KHz wave with duty cycle modulated to the audio amplitude. A low pass filter removes the 20KHz component. I added a simple 2 transistors amplifier to boost the power to drive 32 Ohm speaker or headphones. For speaker amplifier see below.
Code C file can be compiled with MPLAB with Hi Tech free compiler or MPLABX with XC8. HEX files included. Detailed circuit is included.
SD CARD FAT32 WAV PLAYER
PIC16F876A
This project is a .wav file type player (no recording). The software has the functions needed to read SD/SDHC card (2-32GB) formatted in FAT32. The software can play only PCM 22.050KHz, 8 bits, mono. The bytes from the file are streamed to CCP1 (PWM mode) and with an external low pass filter you get the audio. The sound quality is OK for speech or medium quality music.
The software searches for files entries in the root directory only, it streams any file type without reading its name or type.
The circuit diagram is the same as the SD Sound Recorder minus the components for recording.
Code C file can be compiled with MPLAB with Hi Tech free compiler or MPLABX with XC8. HEX files included. Detailed circuit is included.
For speaker amplifier see below.
TO SET UP THE CARD:
Format the card with FAT32.
Create sound files type .wav
Name the files with short names, 8 low case characters max.
Save the files as 22.050KHz, 8 bits, mono.
Add the files to the root directory
of the card (don't use a subdirectory).
PIC supply is 5V. The SD Card supply, 3.3V (3-3.6V) generated
on the adapter card.
Audio input at pin 2 is 1Vp-p max. Voltage over 2Vp-p can damage the PIC input protection. 100K and 12K resistors give 0.6V DC input which is the middle of 1.25V range of the ADC.
One option is to boost the pic output by the Simple Headphones Amp. You can use a 32 Ohm speaker. For use with another amplifier connect via the lowpass filter.
Pin 1 is the PIC's reset.
22pF capacitors may need to be changed depending on the type of crystal used.
SD output at pin 7 is 3.3V but is enough to drive the PIC's input.
Stop, Rec, Pause and Play are pushbuttons.
I bought the MicroSD Adapter
on ebay; http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Micro-SD-Card-Reader-SPI-for-Arduino-Raspberry-Pi-UK-Seller-/322502815052?hash=item4b16aa6d4c:g:z9EAAOSwONBZCQQ5
SD/SDHC CARD SOUND RECORDER 3.3V PIC16F690
This sound recorder has the same characteristics as the sound recorder with PIC16F876A. The difference is the supply voltage is 3.3V. This makes the direct drive of the SD card simpler. It also makes it easier to power it from a battery.
8MHz internal oscillator is used, if the frequency drifts it causes the playback to change speed. I left pins 2 and 3 free in case I have to use crystal oscillator.
The programming of the pic can be with 3.3V, if you have a pic programmer for 5V only remove the SD card while 5V is connected to the circuit, 5V will damage the SD card.Code C file can be compiled with MPLAB with Hi Tech free compiler or MPLABX with XC8. HEX files included. Detailed circuit is included.
For speaker amplifier see below.
SD CARD FAT32 WAVE PLAYER 3.3V PIC16F690
This wave player has the same characteristics as the wave player with PIC16F876A. The difference is the supply voltage is 3.3V. This makes the direct drive of the SD card (2-32GB) is simpler. It also makes it easier to power it from a battery.
The playback speed can be changed by changing the time of TMR0 in the code.
The programming of the pic can be with 3.3V, if you have a pic programmer for 5V only remove the SD card while 5V is connected to the circuit, 5V will damage the SD card.
Code C file can be compiled with MPLAB with Hi Tech free compiler or MPLABX with XC8. HEX files included. Detailed circuit is included. For speaker amplifier see below.
Troubleshooting:
If the Error LED is on immediately on power up it means that the card failed to initialize. This code works for SD card rev 2 or SDHC card, it doesn't work for SDXC (1.8V) or MMC or SD rev 1 cards. If your card is SD rev 1 you can use my firmware ver 1.
For a successful recording a sector (512 Bytes) has to be writen in 20ms, some old SD cards may be too slow writing data to the flash memory, in such case the error LED comes on. Try another make of card.
PIC supply is 3.3V. The SD Card supply must be 3-3.6V.
Audio input at pin 8 is 0.8Vp-p max. Voltage over 3.3Vp-p can damage the PIC input protection. 22K,47K and 10K bias input to 0.413V DC input which is the middle range of the ADC to give 8 bits.
One option is to boost the pic output by the Simple Headphones Amp. You can use a 32 Ohm speaker. For use with another amplifier connect via the lowpass filter.
Stop, Rec, Pause and Play are pushbuttons.

SD/SDHC CARD SOUND RECORDER FOR ARDUINO
A sound recorder project for Arduino Uno
or Nano with ATMEGA328P device.
The firmware works for SD or SDHC cards only. The quality of the audio is reasonable.
The ADC sample the input at 10K s/sec, 8 bits mono in a format similar to .wav files. WAV file is 54 bytes of heading followed by succession of bytes of amplitude sampling of the sound. Timer0 in Fast PWM mode is used as a DAC to convert the digital data back to audio. During recording the ADC converts the audio to 10 bits, the low byte is streamed to the SD card. The 0.65V bias to the ADC input is for setting the signal to the low byte of the converter output.
Audio input is 1Vp-p , you can use the mic circuit or another source. The PWM gives 64KHz wave with duty cycle modulated to the audio amplitude. I added a simple 2 transistors amplifier to boost the power to drive 32 Ohm speaker or headphones. For speaker amplifier see below.
The software includes 2 versions. sd_wave.ino uses Arduino functions only to read the SD card. sd_sound.ino:
At the end of recording the end of track location is written to EEPROM so it is remembered at power off. Pressing Play continuously repeats the track.
SD card interfaces the microcontroller in SPI mode. Reading and writing data is in multi-blocks. Memory is used at the rate of 20KB/s. The Error LED indicates error of communication with the SD card. The software doesn't use any file system, it uses absolute memory addresses (raw). sd_wave.ino:
Card has to be FAT32 formatted. Low quality
sound due to the file system. The code detects the type of card.
You are free to use the circuit diagram and software with no
limitations.
30.04.2021 - 13:42 Name: Moty Comment: Hi Idorenyin Sunday, Recording and playing requires all the processing power of the CPU so it cannot drive a display too. The ADC is too slow to convert more than one channel.
You can record 50 seconds for each 1 MB of memory.
29.04.2021 - 16:10 Name: Idorenyin Sunday Comment: I really like this idea,I'm about to make one of this, how can I make it to have two or more input channels, and how can I add a display screen to it, also how long can it record? Does it record longer as user requires thanks

15.05.2017 - 22:31 Name: Moty Comment: The atmega must have the arduino bootloader burnt to the ROM because only the bootloader programs the fuses.
15.05.2017 - 19:43 Name: djalltra Comment: in addition when I first power the circuit I hear a high frequency sound of about 7khz when I press play it vanishes. I am using an SD card module with an on board 3.3v regulator could this be the problem because the led seems to go of as expected an I can always see space being consumed after recording the problem is from the play side I chose to build this on a Vero board instead of using an Arduino board
15.05.2017 - 19:36 Name: djalltra Comment: hi moty after hooking up the arduino pin 12 to an oscilloscope when I press record button it consumes some space in the SD card but when I press play the output goes high to about 4.3v then I see a frequency of about 7.3khz I am still unable to get any sound I connected the low pass filter and still no results
can you please upload ur hex file so that I can try it I has tripple checked all my connections thank you

13.05.2017 - 11:40 Name: Djalltra Comment: what conciliator frequency is the atmega328p running at because i am using 16mhz external oscillator i am able to see some space consumed in the sdcard(2gb) but is dosent play any sound
13.05.2017 - 10:27 Name: Djalltra Comment: ok thank you very much using the atmega328 version i purchased a 4gb
sdhc sd card and when i record i just hear some noise at the speaker
but not the recorded sound
12.05.2017 - 18:59 Name: Moty Comment: None of these projects can write a *.wav file. You will see nothing on a computer because the recording doesn't use a file system. You can only record and listen to the recording on the project circuit.
The initialization code doesn't work with every card, I don't have the knowledge and ability to test the code on many cards. I use cheap cards that I bought on ebay.
12.05.2017 - 14:26 Name: Djalltra Comment: also in addition i am using a 2gb micro sd card with the adapter,i dont know if the problem if form the type of card itself i even built the version with the pic16f690 version all it does is the error led just keeps showing up.
12.05.2017 - 14:20 Name: djalltra Comment: ok thank you for your response i was able to initialise the sd card i.e
the error led goes off but i am also encountering another problem,it does not record when i press the record button the record led commes on but its not recording any sound i checked my mic amp circuit with my ossciloscope at the pin and it seems to be working fine isnt the circuit record and create a wav file in the sd card? when i check i see no wav file in the card thank you
12.05.2017 - 02:46 Name: Moty Comment: Hi Djalltra, The card works with any format. Make sure the card is SD or SDHC 1GB-32GB.
Make sure your card gets 3.3V supply.

02.12.2016 - 12:52 Name: Moty Comment:
For speed, in the code of 16f690 line 146 TMR0=165, try TMR0=166.
In the 16f876 code line61 change it to CCPR2L=90
About 2 seconds noise, I can't guess the reason. Try another SD or try format the SD again and load the songs one at a time.
01.12.2016 - 22:09 Name: Jaap Comment: I have made the files PCM 22.050KHz, 8 bits, mono but the sound is a littlebit too slow.
And at each next song there are two second noise
27.10.2016 - 23:51 Name: Moty Comment: Hi Ezequiel, Thank you for the hint, I will try it.
One way is to use a program to write zeroes to the whole of the CD. Another way is to stop the playback at the address that you stopped recording. Look at this code www.moty22.co.uk/sd_eeprom.zip , it writes the address to the eeprom.
27.10.2016 - 19:12 Name: Ezequiel Comment: Hi, everyone! First of all, I want to congratulate to the creator of this project for his very nice job. All the versions he provided are working just perfect. Second, you need to add "#define _LEGACY_HEADERS" before the includes to all your codes. That way, your code will compile on any version of MPLAB. Third and last but not least is a question: How can I do to reproduce only the first file by pushing play button and eliminate the annoying noise it does on each reading? Thanks in advance!

08.10.2016 - 05:39 Name: Daniel Comment: it's fine. Thank you very much. It is likely that the noise is from the power supply. I change cap for power, it's better :) Have a nice day !
08.10.2016 - 04:45 Name: Daniel Comment: Thanks for your answer!
I used 3v power supply for 16f690 and 5v for 16f876A. They also run very well and both of them have this noise. When I change PR2 of PWM, this noise also change. This noise always exits when i record but it does not affect the sound obtained. So I think that it is likely that the noise of period PWM.

07.10.2016 - 18:08 Name: Moty Comment: Hi Daniel, the PWM frequency is 20KHz and most people can't hear it. It is likely that the noise is from the 5V power supply. Try 220uF cap on the 5V. If the output is connected to an external amplifier try cascading 2 Low Pass Filters.
07.10.2016 - 11:14 Name: Daniel Comment: Thanks you for your project. It runs very well. But when I record and play, there is the noise of clock period pwm. How can I remove it ? please!
24.05.2016 - 20:44 Name: Hasan Bilgin Comment: I did the same as the PIC16F876 circuit.
The program "hex" I installed each.
No one was run.
What is the reason.
Could you help. Thank you
11.05.2016 - 00:43 Name: Sean Hall Comment: Spot on...My answer machine has just died and as I use it only for outgoing messages it will be ideal for that purpose. I'm familiar with pics (using pic basic pro) but not the interfacing with sd cards.Will make a active low pass filter with audio opamp & suitably biased output transistors to make the most of the audio output. So thanks again.73 Sean Hall Easingwold, York UK

04.03.2016 - 06:45 Name: wimpie Comment: Hi thanks for feedback can you point me to a good c course to download to first get the basics down thanks alot
02.03.2016 - 21:14 Name: Moty Comment: To complete your project you need basic knowledge of SD card, basic knowledge of wave and basic knowledge of microcontrollers. It takes about 20 hours to learn each subject. I recommend to learn how to do it in C because it's the easiest language to learn and this is why it is so popular.
02.03.2016 - 09:02 Name: wimpie Comment: Hi .i want to use the same project but with 4 switches as inputs to play 4 wave files on sd card .so input 1 plays wave file 1 input 2 playes wave file 2 ect .i am useing flowcode 4 but no luck can someone please help .batteling with c code .thanks in advance .my email is wimpieswanepoel1@gmail.com

876a is good.if 876a is not run, you use 512mb sd card.
24.07.2015 - 13:07 Name: Bob Comment: Hi Moty, in your zip-file you included the MPLAB X with X8. This is only for the 876A-recorder. Can you please provide me with the files needed for MPLAB X (with X8) to compile the FAT32 (690-version; see my question 22.7.2015)?
22.07.2015 - 17:55 Name: Bob Comment: Hello Moty, Can you transfer the 876-software for a FAT32 to the 690? This would be very helpfull as I have 690 as a standard PIC.
19.07.2015 - 23:20 Name: Bob Comment: Hi Moty, the circuit looks great. Two questions:
1. Does the 16F690 also play FAT32 or is it just like the first circuit raw data?
2. Can you add extra buttons to the circuit (16F690). With these buttons it should be possible to select a wav-file from the SD-Card. It may be a selection in binary format.

I'll be glad to see someone answering but I doubt it, not many people read these comments.
The sound quality should be like the sound we get from a cassette player. If the sound is distorted than look at the mic and the headphones amplifiers. If the buttons don't function look at the pic.
Try for help on this forum, Ian Rogers is very helpful: http://www.electro-tech-online.com/threads/websites-blogs-containing-some-pic-16f877a-based-projects.142237/

I used HI TECH V9.80 they must have changed the header file for this device, I'm using dialup internet and I can't download the new HI TECH.
You can try to find the new names for these bits in the file pic168xa.h , they could also changed the name of this file. The other way is to change GODONE to ADGO or ADCON0 |=0B100 , RBPU can be changed to OPTION &=0x7F.

26.09.2014 - 22:15 Name: Moty Comment: Hi d847.
You can use the MPLABX with the free HI TECH compiler for pic16. Compiling with XC8 gives many errors. PicKit2 will work too. I'm sure you can still download the free HI TECH C compiler.

06.09.2014 - 21:22 Name: Moty Comment: Hi Paul.
When you compile the C file with free HI TECH compiler on MPLAB you get a file sdhc.as which is ASM version of each line in the code. This is an easy way to understand the code if you understand ASM. To my opinion it is easier to learn the C language than learning how SD card works. If you wish I can email you the file sdhc.as .
05.09.2014 - 00:17 Name: Paul Comment: Hi Moty, many thanks for this, I shall build probably using a fet agc for the input. Shame its not in asm as c means nothing to me - can you explain step by step the process and maybe I could write it in asm? cheers and well done

20.08.2014 - 20:53 Name: Moty Comment: Hi Mysu.
I can suggest one way. Write to the EEPROM the 4 bytes address (unsigned long loc) when you press Stop. When you press Play read the SD blocks from the start until you reach that address. You can look at the project Talking Clock to get some ideas.
Turn the play LED on at the start of the write function and it off at the end of the function.
20.08.2014 - 00:33 Name: mysu Comment: Hi Moty. I build this project and it work. But I need a LED on play (It will stay alight when play the track and it will lights off when end the track, last track recorded). how can I achieve this? If last recorded is 5 seconds (par example), it no stop after 5 seconds. it will play all the card.
09.08.2014 - 01:30 Name: Moty Comment: Hi Dan.
Also make sure in MPLAB you select PIC16F876A in menu > Configure > Select Device

The error is line 113, undefined identifier "GODONE" and line 183, undefined identifier "RBPU". Could you please explain why GODONE and RBPU are not identified? Should they be ints?
Thank you for your help. This looks like a fun project.
21.07.2014 - 14:43 Name: Moty Comment: Hi Manfred.
The raw audio data on the SD is meaningless anyway. I've never looked for a program to read the SD by PC. It is possible to add a routine to the pic to transmit the data via serial COM port. Also to add VB or other language program to your PC to put the data in any file form.
20.07.2014 - 21:36 Name: Manfred Comment: Hi Moty
I spent hours searching on the internet, via reading of headless raw files to the sd card without success even under windows and linux, found no program!
This audio recorder is breaking agents
Cheers!
20.07.2014 - 14:24 Name: Moty Comment: Hi Mysu.
The software can record or play only one track. For recording more than one track you have to modify the code.
If you are using the MIC AMP then the reason for distortion could be that you are using very different condenser mic. The voltage on the mic should be 2 to 3 volts, and the voltage on the collector of BC337 2 to 3 volts. You can also try to connect audio signal of 0.5 volt to the audio input of the pic circuit.
20.07.2014 - 00:45 Name: mysu Comment: And second question is if it can stop playing after playing the last record. He play all registered before the SD card. (sorry for my english. I translate with Google. HI HI)
20.07.2014 - 00:39 Name: mysu Comment: Hi Moty. Thank you for this good project. I build it and it worked "at first key" .
But I do have two questions. At small signal appear large distorsions. It's normal to appearing this? Or is it a problem to my construction?

I'm quite sure this project can be implemented on a PIC. You will need to know the AVR and the PIC specs to migrate the firmware.
You may have to select a PIC with more pins because I don't think there is an 8 pins PIC with PWM.

06.02.2014 - 17:27 Name: Moty Comment: Hi Mr U. It is not possible to read the SD data with a computer. The code doesn’t use any file system so there is no file on the SD and computers show like the card is empty. The code uses the SD card as if it is a RAM (random access memory).
