** Per email from Liz Landis:  ??One of our new exhibits needs a push button to play some prerecorded audio.   I thought that this would be a great way to test out using Arduinos as low cost solutions in our exhibit spaces.  I found this "solution":http://www.adafruit.com/blog/2009/07/07/waverp-an-arduino-library-for-recording-and-playing-wave-files-on-the-adafruit-wave-shield/ and wanted to see what you think.  Originally, I was hoping just to extend the play button of an mp3 player to a button, but then realized that all of those are play/pause buttons.  That won't work for us.??

** Joe - looks like the "Adafruit Wave Shield":http://www.adafruit.com/products/94 will do the job.  It will be best if we just use that with a standard "Arduino Uno":http://arduino.cc/en/Main/ArduinoBoardUno

** J - so we need an Arduino Uno, a Wave Shield Kit, a memory card sized to fit the audio file(s), and depending on how much of the exhibit is done the button, speaker(s), amplifier (if needed), and a case for the electronics

** J. or Joe need to arrange for a visit to the Museum to document the current design of the exhibit so we can work out the remaining details of the project

** Need to discuss ordering an Arduino Uno and a Wave Shield Kit with Liz so we can go ahead and start experimenting with the key pieces of technology involved
