This was really helpful for me, and maybe you guys might be able to answer this one for me. . .

Basically I have 7 audio files that need to play in order and then restart once triggered (with a button from arduino). The first one needs to start on the trigger, then stop, allow for a microphone audio (it is simulating a conversation, where the next file won't play unless the person speaks into the microphone), then play the following audio clip.

I just need to figure out how to get the push button (which also triggers a heating pad) to trigger the audio start. Then how to make sure it stops and waits for the microphone before playing the next audio in the sequence.

Please any help would be really appreciated! I have attached the photo and file for reference
