Audiodevice arduino1/11/2024 This is why the ESP32 boards are key here. ![]() Not all microcontrollers have I2S communication and Bluetooth Classic/ WIFI. The one I have been using is the Adafruit I2S Stereo decoder. These DACs receive data from your microcontroller using I2S. ![]() However, you can get cheap 16 bit DACs that you can plug into your speakers/Hi-Fi systems. For instance most ESP32s have 2 8-bit DACs whereas music is usually played over 16-bit DACs (or better). This is particularly useful in transferring data to an external high performance Digital to Analog Converter (DAC). I2S is method of digitally transferring audio data between devices. On your laptop/phone connect to the ESP32 like you would any other bluetooth device. You could also used wired headphones instead of an Aux cable to a speaker. Don't worry about it losing power it will remember the code you uploaded previously.Ĭonnect the Line out from the DAC to the the Line in on the stereo/Hi-Fi using your Aux cable. Upload the minimalAudio example using the micro USB cable.ĭisconnect USB from computer and power the ESP32 board from a USB power supply near the speaker. This is not ideal but cheaper than buying a temporary soldering iron. To attach pins to the DAC I used Pimoroni push headers. For the jumper wires I just cut up one long blue wire into as many wires as I needed. While making this project I didn't have access to jumper wires or a soldering iron (they were at my locked-down workplace). Just swap the outputs from the microcontroller in the adafruit example to the pins you selected for the ESP32 in the minimalAudio example. There's a wiring guide for the I2S DAC over at adafruit. Speaker with Line in connection (if you're not using headphones).5 Jumper Wires (3 for I2S, 1 for power and 1 for ground).I like the TinyPico and the ESP32-PICO-KIT But what is I2S and what extra hardware do you need? It takes data from the ESP32 and converts it to a line out signal which can be plugged into a stereo or Hi-Fi system (instantly adding wireless audio to your audio system). Now that we have mastered the Bluetooth component of "Bluetooth Audio", let's turn to the audio part. This section covers the minimalAudio example. ![]() # include // Sets the name of the audio deviceītAudio audio = btAudio( "ESP_Speaker ") You will need to include the btAudio header and declare a btAudio object. The first step to getting some Bluetooth audio up and running is to advertise your ESP32 board. This section covers the advertiseBluetooth example. You'll see this in the following sketches. To use the library, you'll have to include the relevant header in the Arduino sketch. ZIP library", then select the downloaded zip file. Within the Arduino IDE, select "Sketch" -> "Include Library" -> "Add. Both have the same chips (i think) but the TinyPico is way smaller. I quite like the TinyPico because it's so powerful and so tiny! I also like the ESP32-PICO-KIT because it's so powerful and cheap. It assumes you have installed the ESP32 core for Arduino and have an ESP32 board. The code exposes the A2DP profile (Bluetooth Audio) available in ESP32 boards using the Arduino interface.
