Help! I seem to be having quite a bit of trouble getting my TKtalkie working. This seems unusual, as all the forum posts seem to have had little trouble getting it working! I have gone through quite a lot of problem determination but I am completely stumped. Either something is amiss with the tutorial or I am being a complete and utter bell end. Hopefully, someone can point out which it is. Unfortunately, there is no simple way to describe my problem without going into detail. My aim I purchased the Teensie with the aim of creating a V2 (I don't need phone features). I am using Mic Input and Line Out. However I ended up going down the V3 route (as explained below) Hardware build This went fine... I am pretty sure my build is spot on. Tutorial - Dead links (Problem 1) I started following the V2 software tutorial and quickly found that all the links to downloads and Github were dead. After a bit of confusion I found new links in the download section (confusing that the tutorial links are dead, but I got around it) TkTalkie Sketch not working (Problem 2) Following the guide, downloaded all the Audino software, teensie addon and V2 Sketch file. When I try to load the sketch file to the teensie I get loads of "Stray '\302' in program errors". A quick google suggests that there are invalid characters in the code. So I try the V3 sketch... same error. Hmmmm, using the error log I try manaually altering the offending files. However, everytime I rerun, i get new lines with the same error. Eventually giove up. (my assumption is that because of the errors, no code went to the teensie???) My wild stab in the dark - Tktakie firmware I was just about to give up when i noticed the TKtalkie firmware in the downloads. I had no idea what it is because I can't see it mentioned in the tutorial??? However, I gave it a go, downloaded and it installed to the teensie ok. Whatever it was, it worked! Its Working (Sort of) Created the SDcard (from the zip file) turned on the teensie and it works! Startup wav plays, tkloop works, voice works.... however the sound effects are not working!!!! No sound effects working (Problem 3 - Main Problem) No matter what i try, I cannot get the post talk sound effects to work? As mentioned above the startup wav works and the Tkloop works but not the sound effects. Things I have tried.... First off, I know the voice is switching off because the voice effect static switches off and total silence occurs (I have also tried with zero voice static to see if it was being drowned out) I have tried removing the tkloop (just incase that was causing the issue) I have tested the sound effect wavs by moving one of them to the startup folder, renaming the file... and yep the the sound effect wav works as a startup sound I have even tried renaming the effects folder (and changing the config file) Still no post voice effects? Could this be related to the failed sketch upload?????? Push to Talk (Minor issue) One final point, the tutorials also mention adding a PTT button. However other than settings help (where it says you can set the pin number for PTT) I can see no reference to how to physically ads a PTT to the teensie??? Thankyou for reading my long post. Hope you can give some suggestions?
