Pin Configuration of JQ6500 MP3 Player Module

The JQ6500 Voice sound module has 16 pins and the table below explains the pin and their functions.

The JQ6500 MP3 player comes in two versions; JQ6500-16P and JQ6500-28P. The JQ6500-28P version comes with an SD card slot to add up to the memory of the module.

Connecting JQ6500 MP3 Player Module to an MCU/MPU

There are two modes by which the JQ6500 module can be controlled. Using buttons or through a microcontroller. Connecting the JQ6500 module is pretty easy. K pins(K1, K2, K3, K4, K5) are pins for the ground trigger to play the defined audio for that port. The JQ6500 module can communicate to an MCU/MPU via UART communication. The RX TX pins on the module are to be connected to the TX and RX pins of the MCU/MPU, respectively. The speaker is connected to the SPK - and SPK + pins on the board.

Libraries and softwares to be installed: JQ6500 Serial, Music update tool software can be downloaded and used to update the soundtracks by connecting a mini USB to the computer.
