Playing sound in DAC using simple 8051 MCU

March 23, 20134 comments Coded in C for the SiliconLabs 8051
/*System reads wav files by SPI from external memory . Samples read are sent to external DAC by other SPI to be played. It's nedeed ISR reception (not included) of SPI to manage info of this file. At the beginnig, this timing is not important, but after all info of wav file is read, timming is fitted to sampling time of wav to play.

This Timer ISR manages read samples by SPI_Memory and write in SPI_DAC in 8051 MCU. Because this MCU has only one SPI,the info transmited to DAC is managed by simple GPIOs */
