Talking Parrot Playback Box Kit: Record, Play, and Giggle with Arduino Uno

Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.

Press a button, hear a parrot squawk—your voice, your sounds, your fun. With this kit, children and beginners wire up two ISD1820 voice recorder modules to an Arduino Uno, record their own audio clips, and trigger instant playback using four colourful pushbuttons. It’s a real electronic toy they build from scratch, blending creativity, circuit basics, and code.

What You'll Build

You’ll assemble a talking parrot box on a breadboard: four buttons wired to the Arduino, each linked to a stored sound on the dual ISD1820 modules. One button could play a hello message, another a silly laugh, another a favourite quote. The modules store 10 seconds of audio each without needing an SD card, so sound clips survive power-off and can be re-recorded anytime.

What You'll Learn

• Wiring tactile pushbuttons with pull-up resistors and reading them in Arduino code
• Controlling the ISD1820 module — triggering record, playback, and edge selection via digital pins
• Recording audio onto non-volatile memory and understanding the module’s signal flow
• Structuring playback logic with debounce techniques to ensure clean, single-trigger actions

Why Buy This Kit Instead of Sourcing Parts Separately

Who This Kit Is For

Young makers aged 5–15 who want their first taste of audio electronics, CBSE Class 5–10 students exploring hands-on science, and parents searching for a screen-free weekend project. It’s also ideal for ATL Tinkering Labs introducing recording and playback concepts with Arduino. No soldering is needed, making it safe and accessible even for complete beginners.

Built and Backed by Compoden

Every Compoden kit ships with an AI build companion trained on this exact project — accessible via a QR code on the box, with WhatsApp and email backup. We've spent 10 years building projects for makers, schools, and institutions across India. If a part fails because of a manufacturing defect, replace it free within 7 days.
