Tsunami Super WAV Trigger Hookup Guide
Introduction
NOTE: This guide is for the Tsunami Super WAV Trigger (Qwiic). For the previous version of this board, the
Tsunami Super WAV Trigger (without a Qwiic connector), please refer to the original Tsunami hookup guide.
NOTE: This can be a relatively complex and overwhelming product for novice users, due to the numerous
configuration options that make it so versatile. Novice users, may want to consider the WAV Trigger or MP3
Trigger first.
WAV Trigger
 WIG-13660
The Tsunami Super WAV Trigger (Qwiic) is a polyphonic WAV file player that was developed in collaboration with
Robertsonics (a portion of each sale goes back to them for product support and development). The Tsunami Super
WAV Trigger (Qwiic) is an improved version of the Tsunami Super WAV Trigger (the bigger brother of the WAV
Trigger), which can now, be controlled through the Qwiic connect system.

    Hardware Overview Note: For more details on the Tsunami Super WAV Trigger (Qwiic) check out these resources from the Robertsonics website: Tsunami User Guide Tsunami Product Page and FAQ Robertsonics Tutorial Page Board Dimensions The dimensions for the Qwiic Tsunami are essentially the same as the original Tsunami. The overall board size is 2.95"...
  • Page 9 The power connections on the Qwiic Tsunami. (Click to enlarge) The input voltage range for the power pins is 5V - 10V, but we recommend providing a 5V supply. The current draw from the Qwiic Tsunami is approximately 220mA (at 5V) at idle with an SD card inserted. When playing audio files, the current draw increases.

(Click to enlarge) Power Input While we normally recommend that users power the Qwiic Tsunami through the USB-C connector, there are four power input pins on the bottom of the board for users, who wish to permanently attach an external power source. The input voltage range is 5 - 10V, but we recommend providing a 5V supply.

  • Page 14: Input Channels

    There is significant frequency roll off at the ends of the high and low range of the audio output channels. Extended use in these ranges can potentially damage the audio codec chip. The audio output channels can be configured as stereo or mono outputs. By default, the factory programmed firmware on the Qwiic Tsunami only supports mono file playback and audio output channels will act .wav...

  • Page 15: Serial Control

    Note: Any inputs to the Qwiic Tsunami must use 3.3V logic-levels; otherwise, users risk permanently damaging their board. The trigger pins are the primary inputs for the Qwiic Tsunami. They can be configured to trigger various actions on the Qwiic Tsunami. By default, the 16 trigger pins are active-high and are triggered by pulling the pins low. The trigger pins on the Qwiic Tsunami.

Although it isn't recommended, users can modify the jumper to draw power from the Qwiic connector. The Qwiic 3V3 Qwiic system is meant to run on 3.3V, be sure that another voltage is NOT used with the Qwiic system.

    For more information on compatible SD cards, please check out the Robertsonics website. The µSD card is an integral part of the Qwiic Tsunami's operation. In order for the µSD card to be compatible with the Qwiic Tsunami: A FAT16 or FAT32 file system must be used The file allocation size must be 32 kilobytes For a brand new card, formatting may not be necessary.

    The Qwiic Tsunami plays files recorded at 16-bit resolution, with a 44.1kHz sampling rate. Different *.wav firmware images allow for the playback of stereo or mono files. The Qwiic Tsunami also requires that the files not contain any additional header information. Some audio recording programs, such as Pro Tools, write additional information at the start of the file.
