I'm trying to set up a WAV trigger. I've used the init file app to create an init file, and loaded that plus a properly configured .wav file onto a micro SD card. When I power up the Trigger, I get a bunch of rapid flashes of the onboard LED, maybe 6 or 7. Then I get a single repeating flash every 3 seconds or so.
If I press the onboard button, nothing happens. No LED light, no audio output (LED continues to flash every 3 secs).
I downloaded the piano demo, .wav files and init file, and loaded that onto the flash card. Got the exact same result, so I don't think it's the files.
Any advice appreciated -- I'm stuck at square one.
PS - SD card formatted as exFAT, might that be a factor?

10 blinks indicates that it doesn't like either the card or the file system. WAV Trigger supports FAT16 and FAT32, but not exFAT. Up to 32GB.

Hi,
Just got thru trying FAT32 myself, and it worked fine. Much thanks for your quick reply! Next time I'll try more potential solutions before posting...
