Circuit Documentation

Summary

This document provides a detailed overview of a circuit that includes an Arduino Nano as the central microcontroller, interfaced with a DFPlayer MINI MP3 module, an RTC DS3231 real-time clock, a loudspeaker, and additional components such as resistors and wire connectors. The circuit is designed to control audio playback through the DFPlayer MINI and maintain accurate timekeeping with the RTC module. The Arduino Nano is programmed to manage these functions, and the circuit is powered through a USB male 2-pin connection.

Component List

Arduino Nano

• Microcontroller board based on the ATmega328P
• It has a variety of digital and analog I/O pins.

DFPlayer MINI

• A small and low-cost MP3 module that can directly play MP3 files stored on a micro SD card.
• It has interfaces for connecting to a microcontroller and a loudspeaker.

Loudspeaker
