Since we're very close to shipping the AP-16+ I thought I'd post a simple Prop-1 demo for it; the demo file includes all the syntax rules for the AP-16+.  So... if you have been using the AP-8 you will have to make some modifications, but we think you'll fine they're worth it.  

For example... if your prop plays a random file the AP-16+ can handle the random logic for you (see the "P?" command).

Obviously, this is just a start and we will have lots of demos and examples coming.

[Updated] : added syntax note regarding "S" (playback speed) command.

' -----[ Program Description ]---------------------------------------------
'
' Demonstration program for the AP-16+ Audio Player Board.  All commands are
' send to the AP-16 through a serial link at 2400 baud (OT2400 baudmode).
'
' Command syntax: "!AP16", address, cmd {, sub-cmd} {, data}
' -- where 'address' is %00 to %11
' -- 'cmd' and 'sub-cmd' is a single character
' -- optional 'data' is one or or bytes
'
' Valid commands:
'
'   "!AP16", address, "V"
'     -- requests version string from AP-16+
'     -- should be followed by SERIN to receive three-byte string
'
'   "!AP16", address, "G"
'     -- retrieves current AP-16+ status
'     -- should be followed by SERIN to receive one-byte status
'     -- status byte is bit-mapped:
'        * BIT7 : 0 = idle, 1 = playing
'        * BIT6 : 0 = single play, 1 = looping
'        * BIT5 : 0 = SFX or AUX, 1 = named WAV (PW command)
'        * BIT4 : 0 = SFX file, 1 = AUX file
'        * BIT3 : file #, bit3
'        * BIT2 : file #, bit2
'        * BIT1 : file #, bit1
'        * BIT0 : file #, bit0
'
' * "!AP16", address, "PS", file#, loops
'     -- plays selected sfx (0 - 15) file
'     -- loops is number of times to play (0 = loop forever)
'
' * "!AP16", address, "P?", file#, loops
'     -- plays random sfx (0 - file#) file
'     -- loops is number of times to play (0 = loop forever)
'
' * "!AP16", address, "PA", file#, loops
'     -- plays selected aux (1 - 8) file
'     -- loops is number of times to play (0 = loop forever)
'
' * "!AP16", address, "PW", "filename", 13, loops
'     -- plays named WAV file
'        > name must be 8 or fewer chracters
'        > ".wav" extension is optional (added by player if not present)
'        > file name must be terminated with CR (13)
'     -- loops is number of times to play (0 = loop forever)
'
' * "!AP16", address, "L", left, right
'     -- sets channel volume levels (0 to 100)
'
' * "!AP16", address, "S", speed
'     -- sets playback speed (50 to 200)
'     -- 44.1kHz files will not play faster than 100%
''
' * "!AP16", address, "X"
'     -- stops AP-16+ (if playing)
'
' Note: Commands marked with * will respond to global address (255)
'
' Note: ULN2803 interferes with serial transmission to AP-16+; remove and
'       replace with ULN2003 (7 channels), leaving P7 contacts open.
