There are some DACs out there that only support 32 bits: E.g the ES9018K2M module which is sold as high end HIFI DAC. Therefore sometimes it is necessary to change the sample size e.g. from 16 to 32 bits when your codec produces 16 bits. This can be easily done Read more…
Mozzi brings your Arduino to life by allowing it to produce much more complex and interesting growls, sweeps and chorusing atmospherics. These sounds can be quickly and easily constructed from familiar synthesis units like oscillators, delays, filters and envelopes. One of the strong points of my AudioTools library is, that Read more…
Recently there was a discussion on how to output more then 2 channels via I2S. I2S is limited to 2 channels, but the ESP32 has 2 I2S ports, so we can output a maximum of 4 channels! Arduino Sketch I have added a small example that shows how this can Read more…
Mozzi brings your Arduino to life by allowing it to produce much more complex and interesting growls, sweeps and chorusing atmospherics. These sounds can be quickly and easily constructed from familiar synthesis units like oscillators, delays, filters and envelopes. Mozzi supports quite a lot of different Micro controllers, but it Read more…
Arrays The best way to allocate an Array of data in the AudioTools is by using a Vector. E.g. Vector<int16_t> vector{100000}; is allocating a vector of 100’000 2 byte signed integers. RAM and PSRAM The ESP32 has a few hundred kilobytes of internal RAM, residing on the same die as Read more…
Pure Data (or just “Pd”) is an open source visual programming language for multimedia. Pure Data is developed by Miller Puckette since 1996 and you can find it on his official website along with the official documentation and other related resources. I wanted to have the possibility to run PD Read more…
Quite some time ago, I demonstrated how you can send Audio to your mobile phone using the VBAN protocol. Recently I have added support for receiving data to your microcontroller as well. With this you can use this protocol to build some cool two way communictations applications (e.g. walkie-talkie). Arduino Read more…
In my last post I have complained that my sine wave test sketch was producing just noise. So I am trying now to investigate where the issue is coming from. Using Basic APIs So first, I try an Arduino Sketch which is just using the low level API of my Read more…
In my last post, I was describing that I started to work on adding I2S audio support to the STM32F411 Discovery Board. I finally have my Arduino I2S library that supports the STM32F411 Blackpill and Disovery Board ready. I was completely redesigning the old, mostly generated C library into some Read more…
Quite some time ago, I started to look into the STM32F411 Discovery Kit with Arduino. Unfortunatly the audio codec i2c address was not showing up in the port scan. I found out that the chip needs to be activated with setPinMode(PD4, OUTPUT); digitalWrite(PD4, HIGH); One of the reasons why I Read more…
