Connecting an Analog Microphone to WM8960 breakout board

[syedadil19]

Hi Phil,
This is my code to capture the analog microphone signal, digitze it using WM8960 ADC and send the digitized data to ESP32 via I2S.

AudioInfo info(44100, 1, 16);
WM8960Stream in;

StreamCopy copier(csvStream, in); // copies mic into Serial

// Arduino Setup

// Open Serial
Serial.begin(115200);
while(!Serial);
AudioLogger::instance().begin(Serial, AudioLogger::Warning);

// setup wire on pins 19 and 21
Wire.begin(19, 21);
Wire.setClock(10000);

// start I2S
Serial.println("starting I2S...");
auto config = in.defaultConfig(RX_MODE);
config.copyFrom(info);
config.wire = &Wire;

config.features = WM8960_FEATURE_MICROPHONE1; // Enable microphone feature
in.begin(config);

if (!in.begin(config)) {
Serial.println("Failed to initialize WM8960 Audio Codec!");
while (1) delay(1000);
}

Serial.println("WM8960 Audio Codec Initialized Successfully");
}

void loop() {
copier.copy();
}

My connection are as the following,
WM8960 ESP32
QWIIC red ------------ 3V3
QWIIC black --------- GND
QWIIC blue --------- GPIO19
QWIIC yellow ------- GPIO21
BCLk ---------------- GPIO14
ALRC --------------- GPIO15
ADAT --------------- GPIO32

While the MAX9814 microphone out is connected to LIN1.

WM8960 Audio Codec Initialized Successfully

The issue is that, it does not print anything apart from the initialization of the WM8960.

I can't seem to attach the oscilloscope output here

This is the output from Serial Plotter:

What happened next was that this is the Serial Plotter when I disconnected the ALRC jumper from my ESP32:

And, it looks the output remains the same even when the microphone is not connected at all to any of the IN pins. Do you have any idea how this could've happened and is there a solution to it?

[pschatzmann]

Not sure what the issues is. I did not find any read sketch for the WM8960, so I am not even sure if I have tested this.
I would play with the is_master setting and check the I2S signals in the oscilloscope.

But your WM8960Stream.h with mtb_wm8960.h and mtb_wm8960.cpp do provide support to configure the microphone setup for LIN1, LIN2, LIN3, RIN1, RIN2 or RIN3 right?

This is my oscilloscope output:

[pschatzmann]

Is this the bitclock and the data in ?
For the functionality I suggest you have a look at the documentation:
https://pschatzmann.github.io/arduino-wm8960/docs/html/group__wm8960.html#gae06d07ab61d7585d7708902f7d7b1386

That's only the ADAT/data in waveform. When I changed the config.is_master to true, I got this,

I'll take a look at the link you sent.

[pschatzmann]

I would add the ws signal as well so that you can see the signal start point. If you record a sine wave should see that the data signal is getting longer and shorter.

Your second picture is confusing me: I an not sure how to read the light blue or dark blue sections.

Analog microphone signal, digitze it using WM8960 ADC and send the digitized data to ESP32 via I2S.

I haven't been able to get it working either, and there isn't a direct example in the codebase. Could you please provide a test example? Thank you.

What did you try ?
There are plenty of examples in the examples-audiokit directory
