Datasheet

Connect the Headphone Jack
This step will be a little bit different depending
on which version you have. If your breakout is
v2 and has the round silver capacitors, add
jumpers for:
AGND -> Center 'ground' Pin
LOUT -> Left Pin
ROUT -> Right Pin
(these are in the corner in a row)
If your breakout is v1, the pins will be labeled
GBUF -> Center 'ground' Pin
LOUT -> Left Pin
ROUT -> Right Pin
For v1, do not use this wiring for powered
speakers or a line-in connection to a
computer/stereo. Only for headphones!
For v2, you can use this wiring for any type of
connection without worry.
Load some MP3 files
Copy 2 MP3 files to a micro SD card and name them track001.mp3 and track002.mp3
(this is just for the test, you can re-name them later). Then install the card in the slot on the
VS1053 breakout.
