#6491 Hi Everyone,

I have only just discovered this interesting SoC and an initial fun project comes to mind for a wifi baby monitor like so:

Condenser Mic -> A/D Input -> ESP-12 ::::Packetized Audio::::> Phone or PC app.

There's also "sound sensor microphone modules" for about $4 with a digital output stream if the onboard ADC is not suitable (or available) for some reason.

Has anyone already worked on anything similar (especially for the audio processing) or do I need to start from scratch?

I have done some basic scouting around on these topics and I'm off to do some more looking, but if anyone has any insight that would be great.

Thanks

#8216 Sounds like a neat application. Using them in the opposite direction, to drive speakers, would also be nice.
I'll keep an eye on this thread!

#8230 The chip itself should have I2S interface for external codec, but there is no information how to use it.
Built-in ADC might be too slow for this purpose. Also WIFI activity will interrupt the sampling periodically?
