I have a similar project using only PHPoC here https://www.hackster.io/khanhhs/phpo...-player-e708d3

MP3 player may be useful in museum or exhibition to provide voice-based information to visitors on demand. This project shows how to control MP3 via webpage using Arduino Uno.

Demonstration




Things Used In This Project
Serial MP3 Player

Click image for larger version  Name:	arduino_mp3_mp3_player.PNG Views:	1 Size:	157.1 KB ID:	712

Serial MP3 player have two interfaces:
  • Jack to speaker
  • Interface to micro-controller (in this project is Arduino)

When receiving a command from micro-controller (e.g PLAY, PAUSE, VOLUME UP...), MP3 player read .mp3 file from SD card and perform action based on the command.

Before using, it need to copy .mp3 files to SD card and mount it to MP3 Player.


Wiring Diagram
  • Stack PHPoC shield on Arduino
  • Connect pin GND, VCC TX and RX of MP3 Player to GND, 5V, pin 8 and pin 9 of Arduino, respectively.

Data Flow

Web browser ---> PHPoC Wifi Shield ---> Arduino

Web app on web browser will send commands and data based on touch or click event to PHPoC shield via WebSocket. When receiving the command, PHPoC shield passes it to Arduino. Arduino sends command to MP3 player according to the command received from PHPoC Shield.

Command Set

Click image for larger version  Name:	arduino_mp3_command_set.png Views:	1 Size:	36.0 KB ID:	714

Where, XX is volume value.

Note that: PHPoC shield has a buit-in program to pass data from web browser to Arduino. Therefore, we don't need to care about it.


What We Need to Do
  • Set Wifi information for PHPoC shield (SSID and password)
  • Upload new UI to PHPoC shield
  • Write Arduino code

Setting Wifi Information for PHPoC Shield
See this instruction: http://www.phpoc.com/support/manual/...rk_first_setup

Upload new Web UI to PHPoC Shield
Create PHPoC source code remote_mp3.php
