Need to play some music tracks quick with minimal hustle? Getting a MP3 Player module may be a solution one can look into! In this mini project, DF Robot MP3 Player Module is interfaced with an ATtiny85 USB Development board. (Or just say, a Digispark clone)
Overview
The MP3 Player module is able to play music tracks by itself with only a speaker as it comes preconfigured with the standard functions of a MP3 player. But for this project, I would instead control the MP3 Player module with a microcontroller.
As mentioned earlier, the DF Robot MP3 Player module was interfaced with an ATtiny85, where it will control when to play the next music track. (As we do not need to use so many IO pins, an ATtiny85 was used) A 0.96″ OLED Display is used to display the countdown to the next track, and the speaker is to output (play) the music track.
Goals
- Use a micro-controller (ATtiny85) to:
- Control the MP3 Player Module
- Display the current track
- Play the next music track after a specified duration
Parts list
- ATtiny 85 USB Development Board (Digispark Clone)
- DF Robot MP3 Player Module
- 0.96″ OLED Display (B/W)
- Speaker (0.25W)

Playing the tracks
The MP3 player module will only play the music track with a specific naming convention. The music tracks have to be place under the /mp3 folder, and the tracks have to be named in a XXXX.mp3 format, though the tracks can have other name after the first four numbers (For example, 0001.mp3, 0002_test_1.mp3, etc.)
(Note: When you rename the music track or place new ones in the microSD card, the MP3 Player does not seem to detect them. Therefore, copy the entire mp3 directory into your Desktop first, followed by formatting the microSD, and then placing the file back into the microSD.)

Code
Instead of using the provided DFPlayer library V2.0, I decided to control the MP3 Module with the low level instructions as the library will contain unnecessary/unused functions that consumes the memory space. (The ATtiny has limited memory space for sketches…)
The Digispark OLED library was used to interface with the 0.96″ Display, available here: https://github.com/digistump/DigistumpArduino
