I2S Built-in ADC/DAC Example

(See the README.md file in the upper level 'examples' directory for more information about examples.)

In this example, we configure I2S to work in I2S_ADC and I2S_DAC modes and then:

• recording sound from ADC,
• playing the recorded sound,
• playing an audio file in flash via DAC.

Note:

The tools directory contains generate_audio_file.py script for generating audio files:

* The script provides an example of generating audio tables from `.wav` files.
* In this example, the `wav` file must be in 16k/16bit mono format.
* The script will bundle the `wav` files into a single table named `audio_example_file.h`.
* Since the ADC can only play 8-bit data, the script will scale each 16-bit value to a 8-bit value.
* The script will covert all signed values into unsigned values because only positive values will be output by the ADC.

How to Use Example

Hardware Required

• A development board with ESP32 SoC (e.g., ESP32-DevKitC, ESP-WROVER-KIT, etc.)
• A USB cable for power supply and programming
• A microphone (with amplifier) and one or two speaker(s) for testing.

The following is the hardware connection:

hardware	module	GPIO
Microphone	ADC1_CH0	GPIO36
speaker(R)	DAC1	GPIO25
speaker(L)	DAC2	GPIO26

Configure the Project

idf.py menuconfig

• Set the flash size to 4 MB under Serial Flasher Options.
• Select "Custom partition table CSV" and rename "Custom partition CSV file" to "partitions_adc_dac_example.csv".

(Note that you can use sdkconfig.defaults)

Build and Flash

Build the project and flash it to the board, then run monitor tool to view serial output:

idf.py -p PORT flash monitor

(To exit the serial monitor, type Ctrl-].)

See the Getting Started Guide for full steps to configure and use ESP-IDF to build projects.

Example Output

Reset your development board. The application it will first record the sound through the microphone. Then it will play the recorded sound, and finally a piece of audio stored in the flash. The following is the output log:

partiton addr: 0x00110000; size: 2097152; label: storage

Troubleshooting

• Program upload failure

  • Hardware connection is not correct: run idf.py -p PORT monitor, and reboot your board to see if there are any output logs.
  • The baud rate for downloading is too high: lower your baud rate in the menuconfig menu, and try again.

For any technical queries, please open an issue on GitHub. We will get back to you soon.
