It can play MP3 and WAV files from a standard microSD card, making it handy for music, voice prompts and sound effects.The shield is controlled over a serial UART command set and outputs audio through a 3.5mm TRRS connector for headphones or downstream audio gear. A USB-C connector lets you mount the microSD card on a computer so audio files can be added or removed easily.Protection features include ESD protection diodes for the USB data pins, Schottky diode protection for powering via USB-C or an Arduino 5V pin, and a resettable fuse. It also includes a reset button, power and playback status LEDs, a microSD socket, ICSP passthrough and a horizontal Qwiic connector to access the Arduino I2C bus; the MY1690X itself is a serial device and is not I2C compatible.This shield does not have headers installed. An Arduino R3 stackable header kit is recommended, and an audio amplifier is needed if you want to drive speakers from the output.Features:MY1690X Serial MP3 ICCompatible with .MP3 and .WAV audio filesFAT16 or FAT32 SD formatsSerial UART Command SetUSB-C ConnectorESD Protection Diodes for USB Data PinsReset Button1x 3.5mm TRRS ConnectorMicroSD Card Socket1x Horizontal Qwiic ConnectorStandard Arduino Uno R3 Footprint2x3 ICSP PassthroughLEDsPowerBusy/PlayingSpecifications:Audio Sampling Rate: 8-48KBit Rate: 8-320KbpsMicroSD cards: up to 32GBVoltage Input: 5VResettable Fuse: 6V/1ABoard Dimensions: 53.34mm x 59.69mm (2.10in. x 2.35in.) **Product Type:** Audio Shield ## Images - [Image 1](https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/BAh7BkkiC19yYWlscwY6BkVUewdJIglkYXRhBjsAVGkDMEYBSSIIcHVyBjsAVEkiDGJsb2JfaWQGOwBG--5c8958fdf399ae2955ababae8a320feeb3fe9382/28021-Serial-MP3-Player-Shield-Feature.jpg) - [Image 2](https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/BAh7BkkiC19yYWlscwY6BkVUewdJIglkYXRhBjsAVGkDMUYBSSIIcHVyBjsAVEkiDGJsb2JfaWQGOwBG--06e54f9da6c6c4dc0c65ae9df9791691ca0b1c59/28021-Serial-MP3-Player-Shield-Front.jpg) - [Image 3](https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/BAh7BkkiC19yYWlscwY6BkVUewdJIglkYXRhBjsAVGkDMkYBSSIIcHVyBjsAVEkiDGJsb2JfaWQGOwBG--c5c12dbc246fabf0759e40ce9ea0ab082673493a/28021-Serial-MP3-Player-Shield-Back.jpg) - [Image 4](https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/BAh7BkkiC19yYWlscwY6BkVUewdJIglkYXRhBjsAVGkDM0YBSSIIcHVyBjsAVEkiDGJsb2JfaWQGOwBG--d26735294da9f477edebe31662b60b29edfec918/28021-Serial-MP3-Player-Shield-Scale.jpg) - [Image 5](https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/BAh7BkkiC19yYWlscwY6BkVUewdJIglkYXRhBjsAVGkDNEYBSSIIcHVyBjsAVEkiDGJsb2JfaWQGOwBG--95687f5dead02022b972fc9705d372fb38d8d11c/serial_mp3_player_shield-assembly.jpg) --- ## Finding & Searching Products If a part listed here isn't quite what you need, you can search Little Bird Electronics' full catalogue: - **Search by keyword:** `GET https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/products.md?q={search_term}` — searches title, vendor, SKU, tags, and MPN - **Search via JSON:** `GET https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/products.json?q={search_term}` — structured JSON results - **Browse by collection:** `GET https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/collections/{handle}.json` — products in a specific collection - **Filter in-stock only:** `GET https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/products.md?q={term}&in_stock=1` - **Individual product detail:** `GET https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/products/{handle}.md` — full specs, pricing, stock levels, variants Search supports multi-word queries (AND logic).
