SOUNDER
Sounder is a sound playing system. Sounds are downloaded to the Sounder board from a
PC using Sounder Link software. Sounder Link software uses a PC COM port to
download sounds and configuration information to the Sounder board.
Sounder has two channels (Channel A and Channel B) providing simultaneous
independent control of two speakers. Each channel has its own volume control.
Sounder Link gets the sounds from .WAV files. There are many variations of .WAV
files in common use. Sounder Link uses 8 or 16 bit PCM format files with a 22.050 KHz
sample rate. Many good programs are available to convert sound files from other
formats.

  • Page 2 Operation Sounder has several different control protocols. Sounder Link software is used to select the protocol that best fits your situation. One of the protocols uses a PC COM port connection to control the board. The other protocols use two 8 pin headers on the Sounder board, Control A and Control B.
  • Page 3 Protocol 7 uses one byte commands received through the RS-232 connection that is also used to program the Sounder board. The RS-232 parameters are 115,200 baud, no parity, 8 bits, 1 stop bit. The RS-232 connection uses the 8 pin PGM connector on the Sounder board.
  • Page 4 Report the status of channel A Report the status of channel B Sounder responds to the status report special commands with a single byte which is the number of the sound being played, or zero if no sound is being played.
  • Page 5 The RS232 interface and the ccTalk interface use the same UART, and therefore can not be used at the same time. A jumper on a 3 pin header on the Sounder board must be set to “CC” or “RS“ before using either interface. If you are using the RS232 to program the board, to switch to ccTalk you must unplug the programming cable, move the jumper from “RS”...
