Customer:
I purchased a Croduino Basic2 and an MP3 Shield (ELECHOUSE). The two boards don’t physically fit together, and I can’t find any documentation about how to connect them - which pins are necessary for the MP3 Shield to work? Can the MP3 Shield work standalone without the Croduino?

Kupio sam od Vas Croduino basic2 i MP3 shield (ELECHOUSE).
I sad vidim da se fizički ne mogu uštekati jedan u drugi a ne mogu naci nikakve upute oko samog spajanja (koji su nužni pinovi da MP3 proradi?)
I pitanje da li MP3 shield može raditi samostalno bez Croduina.
Zahvaljujem i lijepi pozdrav,
Danijel

The MP3 Shield cannot work standalone without the Croduino - it needs a microcontroller to operate. For physically connecting them, a practical solution is a Croduino to Arduino adapter, which lets you plug the Croduino on one side and the shield on the other.
If you don’t have an adapter, you can use wires instead. The shield requires serial communication to work with the Croduino. The pins you need depend on the code you’re using. For example, if following the Instructables tutorial (Arduino MP3 Shield : 5 Steps - Instructables), you need to connect pins 6 and 7 for serial communication, plus GND and +5V for power between the shield and Croduino.

hvala Vam na kupovini kod nas.
MP3 shield ne može raditi samostalno bez Croduina, potreban mu je mikrokontroler za rad. Što se tiče prikopčavanja jednog u drugi, jedno praktično riješenje je Croduino na Arduino adapter: Soldered: Open-Source Electronics, Boards, Sensors & Modules – Soldered Electronics
Jednostavno uključite Croduino s jedne strane, a shield s druge.
Ako nemate adapter, možete povezati žicama. Shield inače treba serijsku komunikaciju da bi funkcionirao u paru s Croduinom, a pinovi koje koristite ovise o kodu kojega imate pri ruci. Ako se, recimo, služite ovim tutorijalom: Arduino MP3 Shield : 5 Steps - Instructables
.. trebate međusobno povezati pinove 6,7 za serijsku komunikaciju i gnd, +5V za napajanje - između shielda i Croduina.
Customer:
Do you have the pinout for the MP3 Shield?
Original message (Croatian)
Jel imas pinout od mp3-a?
Customer:
Can the Croduino work with the SoftwareSerial.h library, using D7 as RX and D8 as TX? I’ve tried but it’s not working.
Original message (Croatian)
Jel može Croduino raditi sa SoftwareSerial.h libraryem i da D7 Rx a D8 Tx?
Pokušavam pa ne ide.
Soldered Support:
The hardware serial pins are D0 for RX and D1 for TX. However, if you use the SoftwareSerial library, you can define your own pins. See the example: https://www.arduino.cc/en/Tutorial/SoftwareSerialExample
Original message (Croatian)
D0 - rx, D1 - tx, ali ako koristite SoftwareSerial library možete definirati svoje pinove.
