What is it saying?

ProffieOS has several spoken error messages. While spoken error messages are meant to be user friendly, it can sometimes be difficult to hear what it's actually saying. Luckily, there is a fairly short list of actual error messages:

Font directory not found 🔗

This happens when the font specified in your your current preset cannot be found on the SD card. A common reason for this is mispelling the font name in one of the 2 places; the SD card or the preset. They need to be identically spelled with no spaces preferably.
It may also be a path problem. For example "Greyscale/CODA" is not the same as "CODA". The preset's font path must match the folder structure on the SD card.
It could also be if "ProffieOS_SD_Card" sounds were downloaded and put incorrectly on the SD card. What you're supposed to do is to just copy the contents of that directory to the root level of the SD.

Voice pack not found. 🔗

Spoken menu items and some other prompts are contained in a ProffieOS Voicepack, which are required by some prop files.
Typically these sound files are in a folder named "common" and need to be on the SD card for the system to read them.
The "common" folder is just another font folder as far as ProffieOS is concerned, and it is used by including it in the font search path in a preset such as { "FontName;common", .....
The default ProffieOS Voicepacks can be found here: Default ProffieOS Voicepacks
Additional options can be found here: Additional Voicepacks

Font directory too long - Teensysaber boards only as of ProffieOS 6.x. 🔗

If your font directory can't be found AND the name is longer than 8 characters, you may get this error message. Check the path and name of the font folder you specified in the preset and make sure it matched exactly on the SD card.

SD card not found 🔗

This means that the board cannot detect the SD card. Either the SD card is not present, it's not formatted as FAT32, or something electrical is wrong.

Error in font directory 🔗

This means that one or more sound effect files are missing or incorrectly numbered. For instance, if you have hum1.wav, hum2.wav and hum4.wav (but no hum3.wav) you will get this error message.

Error in voice pack version 🔗

As of ProffieOS8, additional voice prompt files have been added and are included in a V2 Voicepack. If the prop file you are using requires these newer sounds, and an original V1 Voicepack is found, this error occurs.

Error in blade array 🔗

This happens if the blade array is not configured correctly. The reasons may be complicated, so ask for help if you can't figure it out.

Low battery 🔗

Charge it!

Something else 🔗

If you hear it saying something else, this page may be out of date and will need to be updated, please remind me to do so.
