How to remove the voice prompt from the DFPlayer PRO using a port debugging software.
There are significant advantages to removing the prompt. They are explained here.
Three Ways To Remove Voice Prompt
One is to use a port debugging program as explained in this page.
The second is to use the Arduino IDE. How that is done is here. – We recommend that you use this process rather than the one below. It is much easier.
And the third is to buy a Player with the prompt already removed. Click Here
Turning Off Voice On DFPlayer Pro Using A Port Debugger
Using a port debugger can be a bit complicated. Even though we show you how to do in below, we recommend that you use the Arduino IDE.
A dfplayer is a UART. The port debugger is on your computer. To connect the player to your computer, you must do it via a UART converter.
You do that by using a debugging software. And because the player is a UART, to use that software, you must connect the player to your computer through a UART converter.
Commercial debugging software is expensive. When you consider that you may use it only a couple times at most, it is a waste of money.
DFPlayer Pro Technical Support provides a free debugger but it is in Chinese. If you follow the instructions in the image below, it will work for you. Get it directly from them.
The Removal Process
- Connect dfplayer to your computer via the UART converter.
- Open your computer device manager and write down serial port name of the player.
- Open the debugging software.
- Then select the corresponding serial port in the software
- Enter “AT” to enter the at mode before performing the next steps.
- After entering at, the serial port will return “OK”, which means that you have successfully entered the at instruction mode.Note that “hex” and “auto enter” are checked
After doing this, you are voice prompt free.
