Today I had a look under the hood of the Standard Arduino implementation for the Raspberry Pico. I was surprised that they did not base their work on the Pico API but they based their work on ARM Mbed. Here is a blink example using the Ticker from the Mbed API: Mbed Ticker #include “mbed.h” using namespace mbed; Ticker ticker; DigitalOut led1(LED1); void blink(){ led1 = !led1; } void setup() { ticker.attach(&blink, 1); } void Read more
I took the chance to look at the guts of one of my favorite projects: Mozzi. The major starting point is MozziGuts. Just tried to understand what code is relevant and my head started spinning… There is even an expression for this: #ifdef Hell. To make things more comprehensive, I thought it might make sense to split this up into different implementation files. I tried to do this manually but soon got so confused that Read more
Im my last couple of Blogs, I have demonstrated how we can use the low level API of my Arduino Audio Tools library. Currently I am busy working on a high level API using Arduino Streams. I did not commit my latest changes yet but I want to take the opportunity to share some more examples: We all know the Arduino Streams. We use them to write out print messages and sometimes we use them Read more

I did not commit my changes yet but I want to take the opportunity to share how the whole thing is supposed to work: We all know the Arduino Streams.

In this Blog I am giving a little bit of background on how the sampling of analog signals has been implemented in my Arduino audo-tools library. My initial approach was based on the Blog from Ivan Voras using timers and interrupts. But there is a much better way by using the extended ESP32 I2S functionality: You can use this to sample an analog signal (e.g. from a microphone) at very high speeds and I finally Read more
Please note that a lot has changed since I published this Blog! Tought it might be possible to make this work again, you are advised to use the current API with this updated example! The processing of files with the help of the ESP8266Audio is a little bit more involved. However it allows to process different audio file types from different sources. Please consult the project for further details. Streaming of MP3 Files on a Read more
In my Arduino ESP32-A2DP library I am providing some very simple examples that show how to transform the ESP32 into a A2DP source and transmit sound to a Bluetooth Sink (e.g. some Bluetooth Speakers). I had quite a few questions on how to do this with files, microphones and I2S as input. So I started a small “glue” project which provides some additional audio tools. I plan to provide plenty of additional examples and some Read more

Together with Pulseview, the Raspberry Pico can be turned into a Logic Analyzer. I demonstrated how to build a simple SUMP logic analyzer with my Arduino logic-analyzer library in my last blogs. In this Blog, I demonstrate how to use the PIO which allows much higher capturing speeds. In theory you we might capture up to 125 MHz. This is well above the 2.5 MHz which is achievable with a regular CPU based approach. Arduino Read more
