Today I got very upset by a discussion where a user replaced the original question with a misleading conclusion that mixing an A2DP sink with a sine signal was not possible! Unfortunately he also ignored some helpful comments by some other users. So in order to avoid any confusion I Read more…
The easiest way to “record” audio with an Arduino UNO R4 is by using an analog microphone which can be connected to any analog pin. For my test I was using a MCP6022 Microphone Sensor. Arduino Sketch There are no surprises here because we can use the AnalogAudioStream as audio Read more…
This week I received a brand new Arduino UNO R4 in my mail.It uses a Renesas 32 bit microprocessor and has 256 kB Flash and 32 kB RAM. It provides 1 DAC and 6 PWM pins. I got the version which also provides WIFI and a LED matrix. Unfortunately there Read more…
At the very beginning of my Arduino AudioTools project, I was providing a codec for WAV files. It was just handling PCM audio, so it just needed to read or write the header and then could just copy the audio data. In my last blog, I was writing that the Read more…
My AudioTools project is supporting quite a few audio encoders and decoders. They are critical to reduce the storage or transmission volume of audio. Though I support the encoding of AAC and MP3, I can’t really recommend this: it requires a lot of memory and processing time. For an introduction Read more…
In my last post I was writing about audio containers. But containers are usually also used to mux audio and video together in one file. This made me think, if we could play movies on an ESP32? In fact there are some projects out there that exactly do this: They Read more…
We can dynamically allocate memory with malloc() or use the dedicated ESP32 specific functions. In general we need to use byte aligned allocations (MALLOC_CAP_8BIT). When we have used up all available memory space, we still have 4 byte aligned memory available that we can use to store arrays of int32_t Read more…
Quite some time ago, I was describing how we can stream audio with the help of RTSP. In that example we needed to provide a data stream from which we can read the audio! This is not very flexible and often we want to specify RTSP as output: e.g. in Read more…
I am currently providing quite a few audio processing classes which can be used to change the audio format. So far, the FormatConverterStream could be used to change the bits_per_sample and the number of channels only. I thought it might be cool, if we could use this class for changing Read more…
I have extended the I2S interface in Mozzi, so that we can can use the getAudioInput() which reads the audio via I2S: This can be used e.g. by the AudioKit. Until this change has been merged, you need to use my extended project. Mozzi brings your Arduino to life by Read more…
