PIC18F SD WAV Audio Player

As inspired by Simple SD Audio Player by ChaN, this project uses Microchip's PIC18F2550 to read RIFF WAVE files, and display some file information on the N6610 LCD; And then it will play the audio itself through PIC's PWM with a simple RC filter on the output pin. The hardware actually comes from my previous project, and I just attached a ready-made audio amp (w/ speaker) for the demo.
Schematic:
Due to PIC's peripheral limitations, I only set the PWM frequency to 187.5kHz and not the 250kHz carrier frequency originally used by ChaN, because it's the maximum PWM frequency than can still get an 8-bit resolution of the duty cycles (=48MHz/256). It is also possible to use R-2R ladder in stead of (low-pass) filtering the PWM output since there still enough unused digital output pins for this approach.
On the software part, I wasn't able to make a good data buffering as good as what ChaN did. It's noticeable with WAVE files with higher bit-rates (=SampleRate*NumChannels*BitsPerSample). Nevertheless, it can still support up to 48kHz sampling rate, but with only Mono channel and 8-bits/sample resolution.

Source code(PICC-18) with and without LCD: PIC18 SD WAV Audio Player

My on-going project: currently porting the code to STM32F103RB for additional features.

Some useful software (shareware) tools:
TextAloud - Text to Speech software

  3. Please can you tell me how to compile this source (PIC18 SD WAV Audio) ? under PICC18 produces many errors.

  4. as reported (confirmed), errors will occur when using other versions of Hi-Tech PICC18 compiler. I've used the v9.64 of PICC18 to compile the above projects with no problems encountered.

  5. Dear Yus. I could not find online the version v9.64, but I have found two versions one v9.63 and v9.66 and both are not working to compile this code. Please help me. Is there a way to convert the code to C18?, or maIf you can attach file here is my hotmail accnt is gbrovage.

  9. Could you maybe post a full circuit with all resistors caps crystals and the LED?
    Thx

    1. I think that the led you see belongs to the amplifier. Not to the player.

  10. I think Text Speaker is one of the best text to speech software. You can use it for reading all your documents, emails, ebooks, and more. It also has a good selection of the most natural sounding voices in many different languages
