In my Arduino AudioTools project I am providing many examples that show how to distribute audio over the network. One scenario that is easy to implement, is to write the data via http post. On the server side usually one of the following options is expected: the content length and Read more…
I am providing the untyped NumberFormatConverterStream class to convert between different signed bit sizes. This class is using the typed templated NumberFormatConverterStreamT do do the actual work. Currently there are also some Codecs that can also be used to convert the nubmer format: e.g. L8, L16 and Float. I decided Read more…
I had the issue that the 24 bit output via A2DP was not working, but the corresponding 32 bit example was just working fine. So I decided to double check the I2S output with the help of a logical analyzer. Checking 16 bits First I was double checking how the Read more…
The Readme from the AudioTools project describes how to use the logger: AudioToolsLogger.begin(Serial, AudioToolsLogLevel::Debug); You can log to any object that is a subclass of Print and valid log level values are: Debug, Info, Warning, Error. But only few peaple realize the power behind this! So let me give you Read more…
I had some open issue, that the LyraT Mini Audio Board was not working with my AudioTools and AudioDrivers library, so I was digging into this board a bit deeper. Here are the main two differences to the regular supported LyraT or AudioKit boards: It uses a ES8311 codec chip Read more…
MP3 files can contain metadata that stores information about the title, the author etc. If you send an MP3 stream with metadata to a decoder, the logic is usually resilient enough to skip this automatically. However there can be some cases where the codec can’t cope and is crashing. One Read more…
In my last blogs, I described how I managed to extend TinyUSB to provide an simple USB Audio device in Arduino. So far I have been using some randon numbers to generate noise. This is not very helpful to check if we lost some samples. A SawTooth wave is much Read more…
There are quite a few popular TTS libraries for Arduino but most of them suffer from the same problem: The TTS function is not properly separated from the output function. Architechture In a properly architected solution we would have a A TTS function which produces platfrom independent PCM data An Read more…
In the last blog, I described how I managed to provide an USB Audio device for a Speaker and a Microphone and the bumpy journey to it. I also wanted the Headset sceanario to work where both the input and output of audio is supported. I was searchig very long Read more…
When I first had a look at implementing an Audio USB device for the RP2040 with TinyUSB, I could make things work, but taking up the task to make this work in Arduino was too big. Then Adafruit released their TinyUSB for Arduino that was quite nicely integrated into the Read more…
