Teensy 4.0 - based Audio Guestbook

Hello everyone,
followed this thread but find no answer to my problem of my second audio guestbook:
my .wav-files just recording nearly the half the recordings.

Hardware is the same like audio guestbook no.1:
Teensy Audio Shield
Teensy 4.1
electret microphone
SD Card SanDisk

all the same versions.
Changing the new Teensy 4.1 with the old one solved the problem, so the code of the new Teensy 4.1 should be the problem right?
I am stuck at the moment because I don't know which settings i should change in the code.

Do you have any idea? Thanks a lot in advance!
 
I have just breadboarded this with a view to installing into an old bakelite phone. I am using a Teensy 4 with a RevD audio board. In all the various versions I have looked at, each defines the SD pins as CS = 10, MOSI = 7, SCK = 14, but these are the pins for the RevC audio boards. I have changed them in my sketch to MOSI = 11, SCK = 13 (CS stays at 10). Perhaps this has been the cause of some of the problems others have seen, and could also explain why it seems to work better with a Teensy 4.1 internal SD card.

It's working perfectly so far.
 
Wiring diagram - mic and speaker sharing ground. I'd like to use the original cord from my phone to headset. There are only three wires. Mic, speaker, ground (shared).
The audio shield has a warning:
"Caution: do not short VGND to GND"

Any tips on wiring into audio shield so ground can be shared?
By using capacitors in the headphone lead, it is possible to reference the signal to true gnd. See this diagram from the datasheet.

For this project, I would suggest lower value capacitors, perhaps 47uF 10V, as deep bass is not required.
 
I'd like to hear low level microphone in the earpiece (like a normal phone). I thought this would be easy by adding an output from i2s2 into mixer input 4, but it doesn't seem to work. Any workarounds would be gratefully received.
 
Hi, can anyone suggest how to go about adding an audio recording timeout in the code? Occasionally people aren't replacing the handset properly and so I'm getting huge recordings. Not sure if this is a simple fix or not? Thanks, J.

Implemented in my updates to the code. You can either change the default 2 minute timeout at line 55 of audio-guestbook.ino, or edit the gbkcfg.txt file and put that on your SD card.
 
Hello all! I just completed the project and found an issue with the risingEdge and fallingEdge functions. Basically for some strange reason my phone behaves the opposite, so when I hang up it plays the greetings and records, when I pick up the phone it's idle. I tried reversing the two functions, but nada. I will paste here the code with some images too. Is there a way to fix that? Thanks for any help!

Edit: I tried changing the fallingEdge at 171 with a risingEdge, and now it plays when I pick up the phone but only for a split second. Then it abruptly stops =( not sure why. Could it be an electrical issue?

Code:
/**
 * Audio Guestbook, Copyright (c) 2022 Playful Technology
 *
 * Tested using a Teensy 4.0 with Teensy Audio Shield, although should work
 * with minor modifications on other similar hardware
 *
 * When handset is lifted, a pre-recorded greeting message is played, followed by a tone.
 * Then, recording starts, and continues until the handset is replaced.
 * Playback button allows all messages currently saved on SD card through earpiece
 *
 * Files are saved on SD card as 44.1kHz, 16-bit, mono signed integer RAW audio format
 * --> changed this to WAV recording, DD4WH 2022_07_31
 * --> added MTP support, which enables copying WAV files from the SD card via the USB connection, DD4WH 2022_08_01
 *
 *
 * Frank DD4WH, August 1st 2022

Edit: I tried changing the fallingEdge at 171 with a risingEdge, and now it plays when I pick up the phone but only for a split second. Then it abruptly stops =( not sure why. Could it be an electrical issue?

That is correct, you have only adjusted the first instance in which it is checking the input buttonRecord to see when the handset is lifted. There are many other IF statements used to see when the handset is replaced. You will need to adjust these also.
 
Hello everyone I know this is an older post but I'm hoping to get some help. I followed the original video and have my teensy board together and connected to the phone and using the latest sketch. the phone beeps once when it is connected to power and I can hear an audio click when the hook is either pushed down or released but nothing else. I have our greeting message saved as a wave file on the SD card but that doesn't play nor does anything get recorded onto their. I was thinking maybe i soldered into the wrong hook pins but then why is there that audio change. I've uploaded the sketch that I have and hit upload which tells me it completes and then opens the loader which programs and reboots. I'm definitely a novice with this board as I got it for this project but could use some help please.

 * Tested using a Teensy 4.0 with Teensy Audio Shield, although should work
 * with minor modifications on other similar hardware
 *
 * When handset is lifted, a pre-recorded greeting message is played, followed by a tone.
 * Then, recording starts, and continues until the handset is replaced.
 * Playback button allows all messages currently saved on SD card through earpiece
 *
 * Files are saved on SD card as 44.1kHz, 16-bit, mono signed integer RAW audio format
 * --> changed this to WAV recording, DD4WH 2022_07_31
 * --> added MTP support, which enables copying WAV files from the SD card via the USB connection, DD4WH 2022_08_01

I should also note that I did not add the button to play back the message as I was planning on just taking the SD card out after and using the recordings for a wedding video.
 
I have just breadboarded this with a view to installing into an old bakelite phone. I am using a Teensy 4 with a RevD audio board. In all the various versions I have looked at, each defines the SD pins as CS = 10, MOSI = 7, SCK = 14, but these are the pins for the RevC audio boards. I have changed them in my sketch to MOSI = 11, SCK = 13 (CS stays at 10). Perhaps this has been the cause of some of the problems others have seen, and could also explain why it seems to work better with a Teensy 4.1 internal SD card.

It's working perfectly so far.
My god... you are a life saver. This worked so well for me now. Thank you so much!

Just moved to a Teensy 4.1 + Audio Rev D board and have mounted this to a custom PCB I designed through EasyEDA. The result is perfect crisp audio on the recordings, even when using a laptop USB port as the power source. Previously, I had to rely on the powerbanks to power it to reduce the static. If anyone does fancy a copy of the gerber file, let me know and I can share with you. 5 boards cost ~ £3.50 delivered and use mostly off the shelf components, like screw terminals and switches.
 
Wiring diagram - mic and speaker sharing ground. I'd like to use the original cord from my phone to headset. There are only three wires. Mic, speaker, ground (shared).
The audio shield has a warning:
"Caution: do not short VGND to GND"

Any tips on wiring into audio shield so ground can be shared?
I had a similar situation where I was wiring an old Western Electric 302 model which has 3 wires:
  • Speaker wire (white to dial)
  • Mic wire (black to dial)
  • Shared wire, used in speaker and mic (R to induction coil)
I tried wiring to the HP with tip to the speaker wire, and Shared to sleeve which worked well.
I wired the mic with G to shared, and mic to mic.
The result was good audio out of the headphone jack but the recorded audio from the mic was super quiet. Only thought was the shared wire was splitting the signal or something (full disclaimer i'm a complete noob).

Instead, given some of the conversations in this thread, I thought to try the Line Out instead of the HP to get away from VGND completely and experimented. I tried wiring Speaker/Shared to L+ and L- and it was a success.
 
Hi everyone, thank you so much for all your worth on this thread. I’ve just spent two hours reading through every comment to try to find an answer and I’m not quite sure if some past issues are the same as mine but I’m still not sure how to solve it. My wedding is in 3 weeks and I’m so close to having this working so any help would be HUGELY appreciated!!

Basically, when powered by USB to the computer, I’ve got everything working perfectly (using a t4.1 and a vintage Bakelite phone). I replaced the mic with a tiny eletret one using the existing handset wires and the sound quality was much better. All functionality working - greeting plays after lifting handset, playback button works, I even changed the code to add the option to skip back through listening to the five most recent recordings. When I remove the SD card and insert it into the computer, the audio quality of the recordings is fantastic. I attached a 3xAA battery pack to use as a self-contained unit and tested it unplugged from the computer and NOTHING WORKS!

After I press the reset button on the teensy, I hear a short beep and the red LED starts flashing slowly non-stop. I thought it might be the battery pack so I removed the batteries and plugged it into a USB portable charger and had the same issue. A short beep and no further response. No greeting, no playback, no recording. The only difference is the led flashing was brighter with the USB power than the external battery pack (I’m guessing because the battery pack only provided 4.5V but that should be within the acceptable range).

@h4yn0nnym0u5e and @DD4WH discussed a while ago whether anyone would/should test the recording while plugged into the computer by USB. I admit, I’m totally new to this so it didn’t occur to me that it might work differently plugged into the computer vs. power bank by usb vs. battery pack. I tested everything plugged in so I could use the serial monitor to find the errors and make quick adjustments to the volume, gain, beep sounds, etc!

I have no idea what to do at this point and as DD4WH said, having the phone plugged into a laptop at the wedding is not an option! If this is similar to previous comments, I apologise but none of them seemed to have the same issue of working perfectly plugged in then not at all for alternate power (although maybe they weren’t testing the recordings while plugged into the computer?!). If anyone has any suggestions, I’d be SO grateful!!
 
It's NOT a reset button! It's a Program button, and you just told your Teensy to wait for new code to be uploaded. Just power it up and wait for the confirmation beep. And ensure you DON'T have any remaining while (!Serial) {} or similar code left in setup(), this will cause your Teensy to wait for a serial connection to be made on USB before proceeding - great for debugging, not good for stand-alone use.
 
THANK YOU SO MUCH! I must have been testing the phone while still plugged into the computer, leaving it in Ready, then unplugging. I called it the reset button because it was then stuck waiting in while (!Serial) {} once I plugged it in and so nothing happened until I pressed the PROGRAM button, telling it to delete its code and essentially wait for instructions. I just assumed when it lost power that it would reset its sequence.

I just plugged it in and uploaded the code, unplugged it immediately and put the batteries in the battery pack, waited a few seconds, and it worked perfectly. I was even getting an error before where some recordings wouldn’t play back all the way through but they were saved in full on the SD card so I didn’t care, and that doesn’t happen when it’s not plugged in now.

I’m honestly so grateful for your help. I don’t think the original video creator expected the interest from people with zero experience, and finding another tutorial with the level of detail to attempt this with no experience doesn’t exist (because it’s clearly not recommended). So your patience with helping everyone tackle it is so kind and many of your previous comments helped me solve earlier issues. Thank you!!
 
I think your connections are correct, it is the tip and sleeve for audio playback.

I'm working on this today; have you increased the volume of the greeting playback - the level for the tones are set separately I think?
Hi,

I am another user but I cannot figure this out so I am hoping you will be notified of this question.

Our wedding is on Saturday.
We have it set up, we are happy with all functionality, but we can't figure out how to increase the volume of the greeting. Messages and beep are fine.
Can you please point me to the correct parameter?

Cheers
 
Can you please point me to the correct parameter?
Quite hard when we don't know which version of the code you're starting from!

If your audio-guestbook.ino file looks like the ones above, the key point being only one line having:
C++:
AudioPlaySdWavX              playWav1; // Play 44.1kHz 16-bit PCM greeting WAV file
then you do not have independent control over the greeting and message playback levels. Your only option is to use an audio application to boost the level of your greeting file to match your messages, or re-record it louder. KEEP A COPY of the original!

If on the other hand you have two playback objects, like this:
C++:
AudioPlaySdWavX              playGreeting; // Play 44.1kHz 16-bit PCM greeting WAV file
AudioPlaySdWavX              playMessage;  // Play 44.1kHz 16-bit PCM message WAV file
then independent level control is possible.

Around line 122 or so you may find:
C++:
  mixer.gain(1, 0.1f); // greeting
  mixer.gain(2, 1.0f); // message playback
Just change the 0.1f to a higher value, e.g. 0.5f (if you forget the f on the end it won't matter).

A more recent version still has:
C++:
//------------ Audio settings ---------
int micgain = 39;
float speakervol = 0.5f,
      beepvol = 0.1f,
      greetingvol = 0.5f,
      playvol = 1.0f;
int sgtladdr = 0;     

...

  mixer.gain(0, beepvol);     // beeps
  mixer.gain(1, greetingvol); // greeting
  mixer.gain(2, playvol);     // message playback
You can edit the Audio settings and re-compile, or put a copy of the gbkcfg.txt file that's part of this version onto the SD card, and edit the settings that contains, without having to re-compile (though you will have to re-start the phone after making changes). If the settings file isn't present then you get a message No gbkcfg.txt found, using default settings from the serial port; either way the settings in use are sent to the serial port, so you can check that any changes you've made have been used.

My most recent commit (aka the "more recent version") is at https://github.com/h4yn0nnym0u5e/audio-guestbook/tree/feature/doc-01. Unfortunately there's no such thing as an official latest, as the originator appears to have zero interest in maintenance, support or pulling in contributions from others. 🤬
 
Thanks very much! We used the first one, but we will try a copy with your version. At least we have a working version to fall back on, and we will find a quiet corner. Appreciate what you have been doing by updating it.
 
Hi
I'm having a problem with the output volume for the message on SD.
The recording of messages to the SD card works properly. The only issue that I'm having is that the volume on the RAW is super low and if I attempt to improve the gain the message become inaudible cause of the noise.I have try many different mic but the without solving this issue
Please, could you help me ? My wedding is in may and I m afraid to not have my gold phone ready
Thanks
