# Soundcube Firmware
## Install new firmware
1. Go to [Releases](https://code.w4d.dev/W4D/soundcube-firmware/releases)
2. Download latest `soundcube-firmware.ino.uf2` file
3. On your Soundcube Board: Press and hold the outer most white button as seen from the USB-C socket
4. While holding the button press the inner most white button once
- the board will go into bootloader mode and appear as USB thumb drive
6. Copy the `soundcube-firmware.ino.uf2` file to the thumb drive and wait for the board to restart

### config.txt
Json formatted config file. For now only edge led color working.
```
{
"boxid":"",
"edge": {
"color":{
"idle":{
"r":50,
"g":0,
"b":50
},
"active":{
"r":0,
"g":50,
"b":50
}
}
},
"ring": {
"color":{
"idle":{
"r":0,
"g":50,
"b":50
},
"active":{
"r":0,
"g":80,
"b":50
}
}
}
}
```
### click.wav
Put a file called `click.wav` (not longer than a few seconds) in the root of the SD card and it will play when you press a button.
### Sounds
Put all sounds into the `/sound` subfolder. Name them `1.wav, 2.wav, 3.wav...`
## Wave File Format
Export all sounds except `click.wav` as **48000Hz (48kHz) 16bit Stereo**.
`click.wav` needs to be **22050Hz (22kHz) 16bit Mono**
### Audacity
You can use Audacity to export all soundfiles to WAV format.
Download it here [Github](https://github.com/audacity/audacity/releases)
1. Load file into Audacity
2. Select Track
3. File -> Export Audio
#### Format options in Audacity
