Welcome
to the Daisy mp3 project page! 
Here
you will find everything you need to make the Daisy mp3 player. All the
source files, hex files, EAGLE cad files, and documents are here. This
is the official Make: mp3 player available here or at the Make: store.

The
Daisy is a multipurpose sound player for embedded applications. It can
be used as a standalone personal music player,as the sound for an art
project, in a kiosk, as a museum tour guide, in a toy, or anywhere that
high quality embedded audio is desired. It uses MMC or SD flash memory
cards so storage size is unlimited. It has several interface modes for
either human or machine control.
The Daisy
is based on the Microchip PIC18F45j10,
which is a new family of PIC microcontrollers. They are capable of
running at a full 40MHz at 3.3 volts, which makes them ideal for this
application. Also, most of the pins are 5 volt tolerant, easing
interface with other microcontrollers. The other chip on board is a
VS1011 from VLSI, Finland.
It is an .mp3 and .wav decoder chip, a DAC, and a headphone amplifier
all in one 28 pin package. I’ve been fooling around with this family of
decoders since 2001 and I have never found an mp3 file it couldn’t
decode... and the sound is very good!
All
of the firmware was written using CCS PCH C compiler. The CAD files
were made with EAGLE cad. The manual was written with OpenOffice.
