This bit of code is going to allow you to stream music over the internet right to your MusicMaker FeatherWing. You will need to have access to WiFi for this to work.
First up, you will need to install two libraries. Check out the previous page for tips on installing libraries. The first library is the Adafruit_VS1053 library, and the second is the ESP8266WiFi library.
At the top of the code you will see where to enter your WiFi SSID (the name of your WiFi network), and the password. Make sure to leave the quotation marks, and only replace the text between them.
char* ssid = "your_ssid"; const char* password = "password";
Below that you will see where you can enter radio stations. For this example, we are using SomaFM to get live, free streaming radio. They're awesome, please donate if you like the streams! The station we are using in the code is an 80's station, but you can just go to SomaFM.com and pick your own station. When you click on a station, in the left sidebar click on 'Direct Stream Links' and copy the direct server link info for MP3 128kb. Make sure to use the same formatting as shown in the code:
// http://ice1.somafm.com/u80s-128-mp3 const char *host = "ice1.somafm.com"; const char *path = "/u80s-128-mp3"; //this is the part you need to change //const char *path = "/doomed-128-mp3"; int httpPort = 80;
Of course you can use any mp3-streaming service. Just put in the domain name in host, the path to the mp3 stream in path and change the httpPort if necessary
Here is the full code. Upload this code to your MusicMaker setup and open the serial console. You should see it connect to your network and start playing some music. You will notice that there is a bit of code in there for adding in a potentiometer and on/off switch. We will add these next.
