DFRobot / DFRobot_DF1201S

Here comes the DFPlayer Pro-a mini simple but powerful MP3 Player! This MP3 player module supports four controlling modes: Arduino, AT command, on-board buttons, and ADKEY. You can directly press the on-board button to play or switch music without using a controller. By using a USB cable, you can easily copy your favorite songs into this module to play them any where you want, or use it as a sound card for your PC or Raspberry Pi after connecting them together.

Update or Restore Firmware? #16

Is it possible, to somehow restore. Player? Like Factory Reset? Or Update the firmware?

I tried the link on this page, : https://wiki.dfrobot.com/Voice_Recorder_Module_Breakout_SKU_DFR0745#target_6 It didn't help me get the thing working with Arduino.

My modules have V1.0 printed on the PCB and earlier ones are 0.7 for example.

The documentation is totally confusing. Two libraries are available (DFRobot_DF1101S and DF1201S) but no information on which to use is provided. There are conflicting explanations on where to place the MP3 files, and on how to call them by name or number. There seems to be no way of setting playback to SINGLE, and that is not the only fatal bug I found. These modules are supposed to be usable by amateurs; the absence of a plethora of working examples on the Arduino ecosystem indicates that this is not the case. As @smdjeff proposed earlier, the solution appears to be to buy a more expensive module.
