DIY KIT 52- LM386 based audio amplifier

I have written several projects related to LM386 based audio amplifier. LM386 is a versatile and a widely popular audio amplifier chip. The LM386M-1 and LM386MX-1 are power amplifiers
designed for use in low voltage consumer applications. The gain is internally set to 20 to keep external part count low, but the addition of an external resistor and capacitor between pins 1 and 8 will increase the gain to any value from 20 to 200. The inputs are ground referenced while the output automatically biases to one-half the supply voltage. The quiescent power drain is only 24 mW when operating from a 6-V supply, making the LM386M-1 and LM386MX-1 ideal for battery operation. (more…)

Arduino controlling the WTV020SD-16P Evaluation kit

WTV020SD-16P Evalation kit (3)

This article shows how you can test WTV020SD-16P module using Arduino and WTV020SD-16P evaluation DIY kit. If you have come to this page directly from a search engine, we recommend you to visit these pages to understand this project:

Connecting the WTV020SD-16P evaluation kit to Arduino:

You can see there is a 6 pin female header for connecting the kit to Arduino.

WTV020SD-16P Evalation kit (3)

  • 5V connects to 5V pin of Arduino
  • RST connects to Digital Pin 2 of Arduino
  • P04 connects to Digital Pin 3 of Arduino
  • P05 connects to Digital Pin 4 of Arduino
  • P06 connects to Digital Pin 5 of Arduino
  • GND connects to GND pin of Arduino

After connecting the kit to Arduino, load some AD4 format files on to your MicroSD card. You can Download the AD4 audio sample files. And, then stack the WTV020SD-16P module over the stackable header of the kit. Please note that the LM386 Audio amplifier module and the connected speaker are optional. The speaker connected directly to the kit is sufficient to hear the audio. But, the Audio amplifier module amplifies the sound and you can hear it more clearly.

SAMPLES FILES 2

Upload the following sketch to Arduino:

Optional Link

The output of the project:

When you upload the sketch to your Arduino, the kit starts playing music one after another. After all the songs are played, it loops back to the first one. Download the AD4 audio sample files.

wtv020sd16p.asyncPlayVoice(0);
plays song 0000.AD4
wtv020sd16p.asyncPlayVoice(1);
plays song 0001.AD4
delay(8000);
Delay sets the duration of song to be played.
wtv020sd16p.stopVoice(); 
This command stops the audio
wtv020sd16p.asyncPlayVoice(0); // plays song 0, 0000.AD4
delay(8000); // play time duration
wtv020sd16p.stopVoice();

This board can be powered by any DC 12V-24V power supply. It can be used to drive any 4Ω or 8Ω passive speakers. There is an ON/OFF switch and a volume knob on the front panel. (more…)

Yet another simple amplifier for your Arduino and music projects

BuildCircuit has written few articles about audio amplifier and music modules. One of the most popular examples is “Audio amplifier using LM386“. This article is about a bit advanced audio amplifier made using TDA7052A.

Download datasheet of TDA7052A

It is not wise to connect an 8 Ohm loudspeaker directly to Arduino microcontroller pins. When we calculate the current through the speaker we get : I=V/R= 5V/8 ohm=0.625A=625 mA. But microcontroller pin can only drive 20 mA to 40 mA. So, this project can solve this problem. This amplifier can be used with music modules like WTV020SD.

Change Bluetooth Audio Amplifier Name or Audio Tone


All of our Bluetooth audio amplifier boards and Bluetooth audio receiver boards use AudioB plus module as the core bluetooth receiver module. The default bluetooth name is “BT SPEAKER”. Maybe you want change it to a special name. We just updated the AudioB plus design and breakout the programming port. Now, you can change the BT name by yourself.

Hardware and Software required:

Step 1:

Connect the CSR USB-SPI programmer and Tag-Connect line with a AudioB Plus convert board, then connect CSR USB-SPI to your computer by a mini USB cable and windows will auto detect it and install the drivers.

Step 2:

Connect TC2050-IDC-NL’s connector to AudioB plus programming port. You need to locate the single steel alignment pin of the connector into the single hole of the PCB footprint, then press down softly to engage the spring-pin contacts. Make sure the first 6 pins have a good contact with the corresponding pads. Then the blue led and red led will flashes alternately.

Step3:

Make sure the connection is fine, then open PSTool in BlueSuite 2.5.0.

Step 4:

Choose “SPI BCCMD”, and if the connection is fine, the CSR USB-SPI device will show in “Port”, then click “OK”.

Step5:

Next, Input “name” in “Filter”, then choose the option named “Local device’s ‘user friendly’ name”, the text box on the right will show the current name of Bluetooth module(default is “BT Speaker”), if you want to change it, just input the new name in this text box.
For example, here we input “TinySine Audio” then click “Set” to complete the change. Finally, close the program.

Note:

1. If you haven’t installed CSR BlueSuite 2.5.0 on your computer, please download it here and install it. During the process of installation, you need to check the option “set debug transport the USB SPI”.

2. You may need to install the driver for CSR USB-SPI programmer on your computer.
For 32 bit system:

C:\Program Files\CSR\BlueSuite 2.5.0\drivers\win32
For 64 bit system:
C:\Program Files\CSR\BlueSuite 2.5.0\drivers\win64

Step3:

Make sure the connection is fine, then open CSRA64xxx Configuration Tool

Step4:

Please select the corresponding version of the chip in the left upper first drop-down menu, select USB SPI (180063) in the second dropdown menu, and then click  “Read Device” to read chip configuration data from the AudioB plus circuit board .

               

Step5:

After reading the modue information, in the most left Set Configuration in order to start: User Interface → Tones→ Event Tonesr, You can find a total of eight kinds of audio tones.

Step6:

Click “Delect” to delete any of them. You must keep at least one audio tone or will damage the chip. Then click “Write Device”.

Step7:

You have removed the audio tone successful. Close Config Tool program and remove the CSR USB-SPI programmer from your AudioB plus module.
