Embedded MP3 modules made in Germany
Fallguy ULTRA REC embedded MP3 module
Universal embedded MP3 module with 2 serial High-Speed interfaces and recording function
The Fallguy ULTRA REC MP3 module (Article-No.0148) is an universal and compact embedded module for playing and recording compressed audio data (MP3, Ogg Vorbis, AAC, WMA, FLAC). The MP3 module was designed for use in embedded systems and for integration in customer specific environment. It is a versatile audio module for working in rough industrial applications.
The module is equipped with a SD-card slot for using with SD cards type SD or SDHC.
Controlling the module could be done either by buttons, digital and analog inputs or via the different serial interfaces. A connection for additional electronic to connect to a RS232-, RRS485-, LAN- (XPORT) or USB-interface (FTDI-IC), as well as to a LC-display is provided.
The internal firmware of the module could be adapted to the customer needs. The playback and recording behavior is defined through the programmed firmware.
The ULTRA REC MP3 module is compatible with the Carrier Boards and casing kits for the ULTRA MP3 module!
