Sounder by Deltronic Labs.  Rev. 1.01 

Protocol 4: 

Protocol 4 is the same as protocol 2 except that the inputs are de-bounced.  De-
bouncing is used with mechanical switches to prevent multiple triggers which can 
sound like stuttering at the beginning of a sound.  Pins 2, 4, 6, and 8 or both Control 
inputs are ground.  This makes it easy to connect a push button for triggering the 
sounds.  Just connect the button to an odd numbered input pin and an even numbered 
ground pin. 

Protocol 5: 

Protocol 5 reads the value encoded on pins 1, 3, and 5 when it sees a high to low 
transition on pin 7, and plays the selected sound.  Control input A plays on Channel 
A.  Control input B plays on channel B.

Protocol 6:

A.  Control input B plays on channel B.

Protocol 7: 

Protocol 7 uses one byte commands received through the RS-232 connection that is 
also used to program the Sounder board.  The RS-232 parameters are 115,200 baud, 
no parity, 8 bits, 1 stop bit.  The RS-232 connection uses the 8 pin PGM connector 
on the Sounder board.
