Review on πŸ”Š WayinTop Sound Module with Button Control Music Voice Player – Programmable Talk Chip | 8MB MP3 WAV USB Downloadable | AA Battery Box + USB Cable Included | Ideal for DIY Audio Cards, Christmas Creative Gift by Christopher Gulledge

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Very easy to convert to USB power. Perfect fit for my application.

Most sound modules currently sold have battery holders on the circuit board. I wanted a sound module that could be powered via a USB connection. At this scale, identifying and avoiding the tracks without destroying the device would be a challenge. With this WayinTop module you just need to take an extra USB connector, identify two power pads (USB cables have both power and data lines connected to them (if in doubt, a simple check with a multimeter) and then connect and solder to the battery leads. Sounds more complicated than it is. The sound quality isn't very good. Better than one of those pesky greeting cards and about as much as many toys. Nothing is easier than uploading sounds if you do a little desoldering and subminiature components, there are multiple rendering options as shown in the diagram image above.

Pros
  • Decent performance
