TKSnake

When I downloaded the new firmware ZIP, the file is named tktalkiev3.ino.hex. The 1.12 app reports the firmware as 3.00. I went to GetHub for the latest sketch since it seemed to be updated. When I uploaded it the old way, the version now read 3.11. My only request is to be able to select the directory from which the profile pulls effects, for building different costume profiles. I don't seem to see that in the current 1.12 app.

An array of 99 should be plenty, thanks :-D

So how many effects files can I use with the TK Talkie v3? I've been extracting some interesting static and burst effects from the classic TK BG loop and I think I'm up to 27 files, about 3.2MB total.

The placement is good, but I think I have a loose female pin connector on one of my wires, so I'll need to solder it on instead of relying on clamping alone.

Mine is also working good! I think I narrows the problems I have down to one of the RX or TX wires between the BLE module and the main board, on the BLE side. Might need to take off the shrink wrap, re-solder, and then re-wrap. Seems like there's a possible open. When I fiddle with the wire, the app works fine, and it's snappy. I like this box and am trying to get the word out to some fellow Anovos builders on FB

The filter hides on the side of the bracket that faces into the helmet, connected to a wire that goes to the Velleman that sits on the side of the bracket facing my head, to make easy gain adjustments while trooping.

Sorry it took so long to get back to this topic as it slipped my mind, as I had replied during a business trip and got caught up in, well, business. Anyhow, I've updated my original post on my blog to include the circuit diagrams: Just exchange Line for your power supply input, and Phone as the output to the hearing assist system. In general, the Phone side should always point towards the audio device that needs the clean power and noise reduction/ elimination.

Thank for the clarification. It sounds like my audio receiver, wherein setting it to -40dB is quieter than setting it to -10db. Perhaps adding a negative (-) to the value in the GUI (and maybe having the slider work in reverse) could help make it more intuitive. Just my 2 credits

Question: I barely have my Pyle Pro turned up but the LIne Out volume from the TK Talkie is still very loud. Seems like the app only lets me turn the Line OUt Volume down to 13. Is there any way to turn it down farther so I have more gain control on the Pyle Pro and don't risk having the Pyle Pro too loud or making feedback into the mic so easily? This was a big issue yesterday on my May the 4th troop.

I don't think the rule I was trying to delete was the default profile. I usually switch the default to another rule before I delete because I figured this would be an issue. And yes, I forgot to run the files command, but I think the reason it couldn't overwrite is because, as you mentioned, the program uses the 8.3 filename format, and therefore it couldn't overwrite due to the filename length. Therefore, you can disregard any report I made regarding the TK76253_BGL.TXT file as the name isn't supported anyhow. I'll keep messing around with it. I used the SDCard formatter yesterday and today after my profiles became corrupted, but there's always a chance that perhaps the card is just going bad and it's not actually an issue with the app or TKTalkie software. I may try a different SD card or buy a new low-capacity HD card to compare performance. Thanks for your help and developing something awesome

I figured that out after I uninstalled and reinstalled the app Speaking of which, my SETUP.TXT looked like this: [profile=WMIC_BGL.TXT] [access_code=76253] [debug=1] [echo=1] One of these issues caused the app to register an invalid access code upon initial pairing. When I removed the SD card and zeroed them out, it worked fine. The bigger problem is that, after using the updated app last night to delete a profile, it displayed no profiles afterwards. After some troubleshooting, I discovered that somehow all my profiles became corrupted. Windows couldn't delete the corrupted files because their names had turned into non-ASCII characters, so I had to reformat the entire card and start from scratch. I reloaded the backed-up configs from my PC onto the card and then started up the TKTalkie.

I verified the files on my PC, reloaded the Sample.txt profile, deleted the TK76253_BL.txt file, and loaded it back into the TK Talkie. All the profiles came up OK. I even deleted a few more and everything is OK, for now. I'm worried there's a pointer error somewhere in the COnfig Manager that may not be acting correctly. Last night, I deleted the last profile and then everything else became corrupted. but when I did that today, the other profiles were seemingly OK.

Seemingly, 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?

Done. Also, to answer your last question first, I did upgrade to 1.8.2 since there didn't seem to be a need to downgrade since I was able to correct the file errors by manual copy & paste). I verified the sketch before I loaded it to the device. Here I enabled echo and then connected the phone. I then turned up the headphone volume to ensure everything was working. I then listed all the profile files for your reference. > Got startup value DEBUG: true > Get setting: profile > Check setting profile = TKCONF2.TXT > Return value TKCONF2.TXT > Got startup value

It works. My first attempt used the wrong syntax since I wasn't sure if the sketch would insert the correct file path (I got three beeps and the profile did not change).

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.

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.

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.

I was in the same boat with Android and the TKTalkie was really a great, less expensive solution than the iComm or waiting for an Android app that will never come due to the audio latency issues inherent with the OS. I also don't have to worry about tying up my phone while trooping. I'm modifying my TKTalkie to v3 soon so I can adjust it on the fly through the phone app. The phone only makes setting adjustments but the micro hardware still does all the work.

Hear hear!

I'll probably just hard wire mine in with lead wires. Still have room in my case and don't plan to disconnect it, so as long as there isn't a lot of RF interference from the chips impeding the BLE interface, it should work fine and I won't have to worry about the module popping off while everything is powered on. I can also wire the Mic Out back in at the same time since I'll be able to swap in case the wireless mic runs out of juice or breaks

Roger roger.

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.

Outstanding! Looking forward to trying it out! Sent from my SM-T530NU using Tapatalk

Looking forward to the upgrade! Loving my TK Talkie and might start building them to order for my garrison :-) Sent from my SM-T530NU using Tapatalk
