This requires only four signal lines plus 5V supply and ground to be connected. Extensions to the Vinculum VDAP command set allow you to play a selected file as well as control the volume, balance, etc. of the sound channel and monitor the status of the file being played. The firmware also allows the VNC1L I/O interface to be selected between the serial UART or SPI using onboard jumper pins.
