[FTC]: How to play sound from NXT

[gregsanCHEVY121]

Hello there, my team is trying to play a sound by pressing a button on the controller. The sound is one that we have put onto the brick, not a stock sound. It will play the sound if selected in the sound menu on the brick, however we can not figure out how to play it when we press a button, we are using RobotC.

Thanks,
Greg

Assuming you use button 1 to play the sound:

if (joy1Btn(1))
{
  PlaySoundFile("name of sound file name");
}

Thats what it was. We just forgot to put in the quotation marks.

We found that using a clearsounds() (or something like that) at the beginning would stop the sound from repeating indefinately.

Now how do you download sound files onto the nxt? I've tried to download multiple files in mp3 format to the brick so that we can play the sound when we press a button.

You have to convert the mp3 to a .rso
just google it- there is a free converter.
