 +==== Code ==== 
 +For the code I needed a little bit of reverse engineering.\\ 
 +{{:​arduino_boards:​reverse_rs232.jpg?​400|}}\\ 
 +To control the Waveplayer8 one has to send a CRC control byte. The polynom that is used is: 0xD5. The code to calculate the CRC byte was in the [[http://​www.waveplayer-systems.de/​WavePlayer8%20Beschreibung%20V3.pdf|manual]]\\ 
 +The controller plays random files and pauses depending on the value of a potentiometer.\\

 +=== Customize the Arduino Code === 
 +One can change the length of the pause (in seconds):​\\ 
 +   ​unsigned long longest_pause = 100; 
 +The track number:\\ 
 +   int number_of_tracks = 8;  // number of all tracks 
 +And in an array one can write the individual length of each track (in seconds):​\\ 
 +   ​unsigned long length_of_tracks[] = {11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18};
