Description
This record and playback kit allows a short (10 second) message to be recorded and played back at the push of a button. It can be used as a voice recorder or as a sound recorder, capture an audio reminder, a snippet of a song or a sound effect. There is one button to play the message and another to re-record the message which can be done over and over again.
The board includes a status LED which indicates that recording is in progress or that playback has completed. Both the speaker and microphone are PCB mounted so the only flying leads are for the battery holder which takes 2 x AA batteries.
The recorded message is kept in non-volatile memory and is kept until it is overwritten, regardless of the kit being switched off.
Because the module shuts down when it is not in use the batteries will last a very long time. An interface connector is available for more advanced users that wish to access the control signals.
Features:
- Interface connector which allows some of the more advanced options of the IC to be accessed.
- Connection of remote (off board) switches for record & playback.
- Access to the pins to part play a message or to use the looped play option.
- Control by a micro-controller (for example Arduino or PIC) if required.
- Access to the audio output signal, which can be used with a more powerful amplifier if required.

Q:
Is there a circuit diagram for this circuit as I can only see a block diagram in the resources downloads?
Thank you
A:
Thank you for your question, I am afraid that the only diagram we hold is the block diagram.

Q:
I have built this. It works but the volume is very low so one can hardly hear the playback. Is this correct or do I have a fault ?
Thanks John Parnum
Asked by: John Parnum
A:
Hi John, It is possible that there may be a fault or poor solder join causing this issue. Check C6 and IC1 pin 6 and 8 for dry joints. If this doesn't resolve the issue send a photo of the top and bottom of the PCB to support@kitronik.co.uk and we will take a look.

Q:
Hi Could the play back be trigger'd by the steady hand game?
Asked by: Ian
A:
Hi Ian, the easiest way to do this is to go to http://www.kitronik.co.uk/files/3813/5835/0139/2149_-_Record_playback_build_instruction_V1_0.pdf and look at the top right diagram on the last page. Connect your look to the 3V pin and connect your wire obstacle course to the Play pin.
