Hello. I’ve recently purchased the Seeed Music Shield and planning to build a voice recorder/music player using Arduino Mega 2560.
I’ve got music_v1_14 uploaded to the board. Playing music works like a charm. However recording seems to work really, really bad. I’ve got a 2bg SD card and if I format it and record it usually keeps recording until I hit stop. However after a couple of successful recordings (haven’t been able to figure out a pattern) the recording stops on it’s own after 1-4 seconds (not sure if it actually records anything).
The same happens if there are mp3 files on the SD card. I simply can’t record even though there is plenty of space left on the card.
Does this have anything to do with the filesystem on the card? There is a comment in record.cpp > Record() that says:
- \bug In case of fragmented filesystem, this version will not
- function properly.
The if statement below (line 218 in record.cpp) evaluates and the recording stops. I have no idea how to get past this so any help would be appreciated.
if (freeSector!=(lastSector+1)){ //end of continuous space, must break!
stopRecording = 1;
Serial.println("\r\nFragment end - can't continue recording!");
//InitDisplay(DS_STATIC,"FRAGMENT"," LIMIT!!",0);
continueRecording = 1;
}Best
