If adafruit ever starts making the sound board with amp built in again,(of i can purchase one somewhere) I may covert my other one. Having two boards was a pain and took up room,although by using the existing battery compartment i saved some space. I've uploaded another video showing all 6 trigger sounds.This was a fun build.Great job!!!..Quick question,did you put a LED?..I am making another one and i put one,last time i forgot to turn my off..but man..that looks clean!
I love the clips,a quick note,I use the random files since it gives you a bit of a remix,but if someone is having trouble with the files,I named them "T01RAND0"(no quotation marks) up to RAND6 and that did the trick,I mean I started with "0" as it seems I was having trouble when it started with "1" and T1 was the channel I usedView attachment 658664
Its Crunch time...Last step is to cram it all inside the shell and hopefully everything fits.
I figured I'd upload the sound files and share them with anyone who needs them. these are ripped from Netflix through direct recording through the sound card on my PC. All the files are ogg vorbis.

Hello..Quick question..did you use the same power supply for the sound board and amp,or you used separate ones(divided the original walkie battery compartment).A friend is doing his without the built i amp and asked me..I told him to used a separate power supplies with diodes..Not sure if one power supply with 4.5 volt will last or power up good enough..thanks!Just a small update,
Since adafruit has has discontinued the sfx soundboard with built in stereo amp, I had to settle for their separately sold amp. After fiddling around I finally got it wired up the way I like it. I was able to use the existing battery compartment of the walker talkie to use for my project, this also helped save space within the radio for the extra board. I did not want to have to open it up ever time to change out batteries. My next step will be to build out the empty shell with brackets and what not to hold the components. http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160827/8c91748e2309839c4384da34b9b7eebe.jpghttp://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160827/081c1ea721a5669f8eb27ca8c5000fb5.jpghttp://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160827/135bb691aa9106f441671db4e72a70f4.jpghttp://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160827/5a560279174c912011ac6b433f8e20dc.jpg

Cool..Im getting his board,I think i will divide the walkie battery compartments as to each get his power supply..His board doesn't have the audio jack..Quick note..I just bought a greeting sound module..It has a 4meg memory and supports many formats with one trigger button and i think it also allows 10 30 sec clips..I will check it out and see how loud it is,if it works out it might be a good alternative..I paid $11 dollars with shipping.I'm using one power supply the original battery compartment, the last photo shows how I shared the power supply, I was able to get it to work with two but I knew I did not have the space for both packs. I have two wires going into the VIN pin on the soundboard one coming from the power "In" from the amp board, I was only able to do this because I am using the 3.5 audio jack and I could share a "ground" with both boards.

Here is a picture with the new adafruit ,amp and battery holder.I havent made it all neat but I just wanted to show it fits,a little crowded but it works..I am also attaching the new walkie I just made with a working LED,theme song courtesy of my man Scadge..Let me know I foresee myself adding sound to many more props in my future, a simpler option would be great. Also I didn't think about using the different rows of batterie for the different power supplies, I just re-soldered one row to use.
Can't wait to get my Adafruit supplies in. Will post my updates on here.
