Stop playing after command/change

[RobertSVK]

Hi, it's great project!

It plays well right after reset. But it will stop when I change something (vol+-, station).

It will continue playing after disconnect and connect RST wire from VS1053. (probably reseting) I've checked wiring multiple times. I tried to connect VS1053 RST to ESP8266 RST (WemosD1) or to 5V - it doesn't matter.

I'm aware of one change - I had to change following code: from system_update_cpu_freq ( 160 ) ; to system_update_cpu_freq ( 80 ) ;
If it was set to 160 then tho sound was disruptive. For 80MHz is good.

This is part of debug output: D: Reset VS1053... D: End reset VS1053... D: Slow SPI,Testing VS1053 read/write registers... D: Fast SPI, Testing VS1053 read/write registers again... D: endFillByte is 88

Could you advise ? Thanks

Looks like there is something wrong with the web interface. Could you try to enter some commands like "upvolume=2" on the serial interface in the IDE? Use the "Enter" key after each command. Could you also try a different (stronger) powersupply?

[RobertSVK]

I appreciate your quick response.

I've tried different stronger powersupply and also command via serial interface - same behaviour :( I believe it's not related to web GUI.

I don't have "reset circuit". I've just connected V1053 RST to ESP RST or 5V or via 10k resistor to 5V. Could missing "reset circuit" affect functionality ? I've read in different thread that it's not really necessary.

Also I've tried my VS1053 board in different project without problems. So I believe my hardware is ok.

The reset circuit is not critical. Are there unusual lines in the logging when you change the volume?

[RobertSVK]

I don't think so. It looks normal for me

then I need to diconnect/connect VS1053 RST manually

D: Command: upvolume with parameter 2

diconnect/connect VS1053 RST

D: Volume is now 34

same after command via serial - diconnect/connect VS1053 RST

I see something strange: The endFillByte is 88. Normally this would be 00. Are you sure you chip is a VS1053?. I know that some modules have a different chip, although it has been sold as a VS1053. Please check this.

[RobertSVK]

endFillByte is not always 88, sometimes it's 89 or different.

You are probably right. I've checked my chip. It looks that is VS10038 :( Do you think it's differnet ? I'll try to buy real VS1053.

[Edzelf]

Yes, the software is for VS1053 only.
