New to Teensy and Audio Please Help

[nikolasdove]

Hi, super new here. I'm making a recording device for a school project with a Teensy 4.1 + Audio Module Rev D and I have a few questions:

First, do I need to use the Line In pins on the Audio Module and use an additional jack like a 3.5mm trrs breakout board to those pins or can I program the existing jack that's already on the board as a recording input? I'm trying to go from headphone out of a computer to an input on the Teensy and record .wav straight to the microSD card on the board.

Second, I have seen the Recorder code that's posted on GitHub but noticed that it's for one of the v3 boards. Can I copy and paste that code for my 4.1 board and will that communicate with the microSD slot already embedded on the board?

The first bit of code I tried lets me use one button as a toggle switch to Start / Stop recording and when I tried it creates a "recording.wav" file but it is corrupt and can not be opened. I have 3.5mm aux cord from computer headphones out to trrs breakout board line in on the audio module and microSD in the Teensy 4.1. To be fair most of this code is ChatGPT slightly modified adding a sample toggle switch code in the void loop I found on an Arduino forum.

Like I said I am super new to this so don't roast me too hard lol.
