Sigh. I forgot to update the version displayed on the splash page. Latest is version 1.0.6 and will show that in the app store but the splash screen will say 1.0.1

1.0.6 is latestSeemingly, there was an update released four days ago that my phone just downloaded, v1.0.1. Not sure if that would skew the results. What release should I be looking for on the Google Play Store?

Alright gentlemen I have corrected the app (left in some debug testing in the last release
)Sending the updates to the app stores, so keep an eye out. Thanks for the catch!

Great I see the problem. The file names are not being sent with the commands. I'll take a look at the app. Stand by....
-
Ok, now next step:
In the serial console enter:
echo=1
That will turn on BLE verbose ouput, then try again with the APP and all of the BLE cmd/response will display and let's see what that says. What version of the Arduino IDE are you on? Did you go back to 1.8.1 or are you on 1.8.2?
-
Make sure you update the SDCard zip file too!
Haha yep thanks for the reminder...sheesh I need some more coffee...
-
What happens if you try those commands from the serial interface?Thanks. I meant to append that it is making only 3 beeps, which seems to suggest that there's an error opening up the settings.
I used the SD Formatter as you suggested, but still had the same issue.
It seems that I can create profiles, and can change the default to the new profile, but I can't change, delete, or set as default a previously existing profile (the latter gives me three beeps). Even the Sample Profile is affected.

# Sound effects [effects_dir=/sounds/] # Background loops [loop_dir=/loops] # Startup sounds [sounds_dir=/sounds/]
https://github.com/becauseinterwebs/TKTalkie/blob/master/3.0/SDCard/profiles/SAMPLE.TXThas this as well. Simply change to effects_dir=/effects/
Got it corrected.

The Config Manager seems really buggy on my Galaxy S6.
- I can save a profile, but it won't show up on the list after it saves, making me thing it didn't save, When I restart the app and TK Talkie, it's there.
- It won't delete profiles
- I had to manually edit the SD Card to remove some profiles and change the default profile (see below).
- It won't change the default profile. It worked when I switched from the Sample Profile to my first custom profile, but no longer seems to function.
- Ex.: when I switch from my wireless mic profile to my wired mic profile, the TK Talkie produces four beeps and restarts, but the profile is still on my default profile.
The red light stays solid on the BLE module, and I can still affect changes to other settings, like volume, mic gain playing the startup sound, etc.,, but the Config Manager doesn't seem to be as responsive. Not being able to switch between profiles or set the default profile (without removing the SD Card) is worrisome.
Yeah the whole point of the app is so you don't have to remove the SD card
Are you saving to a new profile (i.e. changing the file name)? It sounds like in general there is an issue accessing the SD card.
The 4 beeps means it can't update the SETTINGS.TXT file, which is where the default (startup) profile entry is stored. (http://www.tktalkie.com/troubleshoot#6)
First thing I would try is backing up the contents of the card on your computer, then reformatting it with SD Formatter.

On the Teensy you sent me? I have mine wired up like this:
I can try swapping them around before I end up replacing the entire end.
No that's the way it should be wired. Yes try swapping the rx/tx wires on the male jack first.
-
ah the tx/rx wires are prob opposite.I got a present in the mail yesterday, Brent! Thanks for the quick delivery! I noticed on mine too I get the startup sound instead of clicks. Didn't have time last night to really look into it so glad Erik figured it out. I am going to redo the end of my BLE as I was getting Time Out error when trying to connect to my iPhone.

Thank you will get that fixed!On another note, when I got my v3 set up last night, after I talked, it would play my startup sound instead of the click.and static effects. Turns out that the config that was generated pointed effects to [effects_dir=/sounds/] instead of [effects_dir=/effects/]. This is actually an artifact from the Sample Profile provided from the site. Once i fixed the directory it was business as usual.

Got the hardware upgraded and the sketch uploaded (no thanks to Windows messing up the file text). I was wondering: in the video you mentioned you were able to program the BLE module's name. How is this accomplished? I couldn't seem to find how to do this in the tutorial or the help file.
It's a trade secret!
No, actually I just built a little breadboard using "Method 3" from this page:
http://www.martyncurrey.com/arduino-with-hc-05-bluetooth-module-at-mode/
I'm using an Arduino nano on the board and have it setup so that I just stick the BLE in there and then program it via the serial interface. I'll try to grab a pic of it. It's crude but it works great

I've updated the page at tktalkie.com/compare and also ran across this:
Troop Talk Beta for Android
It's an Android app, however, it's really buggy (it IS a beta, of course) and there is significant lag between the time you talk and when you hear what you've said (it's less than a second, but still very noticeable.) This is the main reason there has not been an Android app as of yet. The author of the iOS app tried, I tried, but the audio processing hardware on Android is just plain slow. You cannot get true, real-time processing. I tried this new app and could not get any consistent results out of it. Hopefully Android ups their game on their audio hardware.

I compiled a list at www.tktalkie.com/compare a while back. It was recently updated when TRamp updated their unit, but not since the TKTalkie has been offered for sale and the iOS app that is discontinued is still in there. Guess I will update it tonight.Probably, I've kind of lost track of all of them now and whats stull available and what's not.
edit; maybe it's time some one (ie me) did a full round up post of what's currently an option. Clearly I won't have used or even seen all of them but just a list of options and a basic summary pro/con of each would be helpful.
It was compiled from information from vendor websites as well as input from some of the vendors themselves.

Also, you can order a TKTalkie now, or you can build your ownYou're missing some other sellers

You might want to format it with the SD card formatter anyway...Most SD cards come "computer" formatted for cameras and phones which is a little different. It might not make a difference, but best to cover all bases. I did have a card that I formatted using my computer and then couldn't read it on the audio shield. It worked after I used the SD card fornatter.The SD card is good. I can insert it in the card adapter and my computer reads it just fine
Having said that I just picked up a PNY ultra hd card and it worked right out of the box.

Ouch well before you do that have you tried another SD Card? Also try using the SD Card formatter listed at www.tktalkie.com/troubleshootLOL I have the absolute worst luck. I'm pretty sure my audio shield shorted out last night since it refuses to read the SD card. I have a few at the house from times my several burnt Teensy 3.2. I'm hoping I can get one to work or I will just throw in the towel and order one built by Brent. At least I know my BLE works

This one is what I have and works: http://www.ebay.com/itm/172395308212?_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
Yep that's the one in the tutorial
-
I noticed that the BLE module you photographed for the v3 tutorial has a different amount of pins than the BLE module you linked to eBay in your tutorial. Which one is the correct one to buy? I just want to make double sure before I purchase something I can't use.
That one in the tutorial is just missing the two extra pins...they are not used for normal operations so either one works.

I read through the Github files and know it's the SD card not being read. I am having to replace my female jack for the BLE to plug into because it's a loose fit.
Yes 3 beeps means it can't load a file from the SD card. However, the BLE should not have anything to do with that other than maybe the loose fit is causing a short or disconnect.
-
Great! Yeah I put a dollop of hot glue on them...keep meaning to update the tutorialCrappy solder job. I fixed it and it's working! I might throw some glue to hold things in place on the bottom of the board

Ok then you are getting a connection.I just downloaded a LightBlue app so I'll test when I get home from work. It would flash, then I'd enter the profile name, choose the BLE, put the code in and as soon as I would pair it the BLE light would become solid but the app froze at that greyish tint and eventually say timeout.
I would double check the TX to RX connections I mentioned.
Also, no you don't have to leave the BLE connected once you've got everything tuned. I do take mine with me on troops so I can adjust it to the environment if needed, but I don't leave it plugged in while I troop.

TKTalkie v3 Released!
in Electronics for Helmets / Blasters

Here are the rules profile deletion follows:
1. Cannot delete the currently loaded profile:
2. If the profile you are deleting is the default profile, it sets the currently loaded profile to default and updates the settings file.
The next update will have some better error messaging regarding these rules.
It was definitely having a problem writing to the SD card. In the photo above, it looks like Windows is seeing the (TKTalkie) SD card as a hard drive. I see other entries that have SD next to them. Did you use the SD Formatter on it? Have you tried any other cards? If that happens again, can you connect via the serial console and enter "files" (no quotes) and see if it can list the contents of the card?
And yes, SD card library only supports the 8.3 filename format, so longer filenames can cause an issue.
