I have a similar project using Arduino here https://www.hackster.io/khanhhs/ardu...-player-9bc616 .

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 PHPoC.



Demonstration





Things Used In This Project
  • PHPoC Blue or Black
  • Serial MP3 Player
  • Speaker

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 PHPoC)

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.

Connect pin GND, VCC TX and RX of MP3 Player to pin GND, PWR5, U0RX and pin U0TX of PHPoC, respectively.



Data Flow

Web browser ---> PHPoC

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

Command Set

Where, XX is volume value.



Source Code

Source code includes two files:

- index.php: This file is client side code. When receiving HTTP request from web browser, PHPoC interprets PHP script in this file, and then send the interpreted file to web browser. The interpreted file (contains html, css and JavaScript code) provides UI (User Interface), handling touch/click event from User and send command back to PHPoC via websocket.
