startrek-enterprise-revell-model's Issues

Having some troubles.

Good day! I read your whole post on the build; Incredible work!

I am having some issues with getting this to work for some reason. The code compiles fine but when I run the sketch, I just get the phasers and torpedoes sound on loop. Even if I unplug all the inputs from the switches to the Arduino I get the phasers and torpedoes sounds. Pushing the buttons does not play the requested mp3. Also, where did you wire the 'Mute' switch to?

Thank you

Edit: I was able to get it working by adding a voltage divider to the input of the Tx. I am having a difficult time adding a couple of buttons for a couple of extra sounds though.
