Welcome to the WT588D wiki!

Finally after 2 weeks of research up and down, I got it to upload the .bin file. Since this module has been poorly documented, I decided to write a wiki to help anyone new out there. I would really like to write a detail step by step guide to get anyone up to the programming but i'm lazy so i will make this short, so if anyone like to contribute towards saving time and money. Add your touches here.

Step 1: Preparing your Audio files.

You will need to download 2 programs for the following steps:

Create .wav files with Audacity and export as a 22kHz Wav File. https://sourceforge.net/projects/audacity/

Create .bin file to be upload to your WT588D. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4IMeS-6RiDJWGNhTHV1aF9pSDg/view

Step 2:

Arduino PIN - WT588D-16P Board pin -- function

10 --------------- 9 ------------------------ CS chip select (3.3v)

11 --------------- 5 ------------------------ DI Data in (3.3v)

12 --------------- 6 ------------------------ DO Data out (3.3v)

13 --------------- 7 ------------------------ CLK Clock (3.3v)

7 ---------------- 1 ------------------------ Reset (3.3v)(I am not sure if this pin is needed)

Wire your arduino to WT588D, make sure your WT588D input voltage is 3.3v (Level-Shifter/Logic-Level-Converter is required)

Step 3:

Copy the sketch and upload the code into arduino and run it: https://forums.adafruit.com/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=80529#p407752

Open Serial Monitor (Ctrl+Shift+M) and Write down the Manufacturer's ID and Device ID that will be shown.

---

Step 4:

Install Adafruit_TinyFlash library and modify the following file https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_TinyFlash

File: Adafruit_TinyFlash.cpp (in window 7, the file is located here ...\Users\user\Documents\Arduino\libraries\Adafruit_TinyFlash-master)

Line 95:

return ((manID == 0xEF) && (devID == 0x13)) ? CHIP_BYTES : 0L;

to

return ((manID == 0x[manufacturing ID]) && (devID == 0x[Device ID])) ? CHIP_BYTES : 0L;

Example: return ((manID == 0xC2) && (devID == 0x15)) ? CHIP_BYTES : 0L;

---

Step 5:

Download and install this library. Duh~ :/ and open the sketch AudioLoader_WT588DRev_ND.ino, upload to your arduino and open Serial monitor (Ctrl+Shift+M)

You should get:

HELLO

1048576 (can be any number and this means arduino is able to get the capacity of the chip)

if you get

HELLO

0

from serial monitor, you've done something wrong or you do not understand some step between step 2 to step 4 because my instruction suck.

---

Step 6:

Download and unzip the following file from the link provided

File: Processing version 2.2.1 (19 May 2014) (Other version don't work)

Link: https://processing.org/download/?processing

---

Step 7:

Run processing.exe

and open the file provided in this library: WT588D/FlashLoader/AudioLoader_WT588D/ProcessingAudioTransfer

File: ProcessingAudioTransfer.pde

Find and modify the following line:

  portname = "/dev/tty.usbmodem1421";                        // bypass scan

to

  portname = "(Input your arduino com here)";                        // bypass scan

Example: > portname = "COM3"; // bypass scan

---

Step 8

Run the sketch and select the file you have prepared in Step 1 and you should be done.

congrat!! what took you a few hours now took me 7 full days to find out and make it worked. For the sketch to play music... look it up yourself... there is more help for this then the programming part.
