Grove - Recorder V3
This is the latest version of Grove-recorder, and also the best
version. Comparing the previous one, there are some updates that
we would like to mention.
First change is MCU. In V3.0, the MCU is upgraded from to be
ISD9160FI, which is more powerful than the old one ISD1820PY.
How is it more powerful? Together with the newly added 2Mbytes

ash, it allows you to record up to 83 seconds, much longer than
previous 12 sec record.
Secondly, if you have ever used previous version, you would know
that if you want to play back what you have recorded, you need to
press another button on the Grove button that connected
separately. In V3.0, we integrated the record button and play back
button in to one button. By holding the button for 2 sec, it starts
recording, by push the button quickly, it plays back what has been
recorded.

modules to the right port of Base Shield. For this demo, we connect
Grove - Recorder to D2.
Standalone
This module can work standalone without coding.
Record - Press the button until the LED light, and it's recording,
release the button when nish recording.
Play - Press and release the button to play the voice that had
been recorded.
If you want to control the module by code. please go ahead.
