EXPERIMENT NO. 1:
study of audio board ESP32
Aim: study of audio board ESP32
Theory: An ESP32 audio board is a specialized development board that leverages the
powerful capabilities of the ESP32 microcontroller to enable a wide range of audio-related
IoT applications. These boards typically incorporate audio codecs, amplifiers, and
microphone interfaces, allowing for tasks like:
 Voice recognition and control: Building voice-activated devices like smart speakers
and home automation systems.
 Audio streaming: Creating devices for streaming music, podcasts, and other audio
content.
 Sound detection and analysis: Developing applications for noise monitoring, sound
classification, and acoustic sensing.
 Audio recording and playback: Building devices for recording and playing back
audio, such as voice recorders and digital audio players.

Specifications of ESP32:

ESP32 has a lot more features some of these are:

 Single or Dual-Core 32-bit LX6 Microprocessor with clock frequency up to 240


MHz.
 520 KB of SRAM, 448 KB of ROM and 16 KB of RTC SRAM.
 Supports 802.11 b/g/n Wi-Fi connectivity with speeds up to 150 Mbps.
 Support for both Classic Bluetooth v4.2 and BLE specifications.
 34 Programmable GPIOs.
 Up to 18 channels of 12-bit SAR ADC and 2 channels of 8-bit DAC
 Serial Connectivity include 4 x SPI, 2 x I2C, 2 x I2S, 3 x UART.
 Ethernet MAC for physical LAN Communication (requires external PHY).
 1 Host controller for SD/SDIO/MMC and 1 Slave controller for SDIO/SPI.
 Motor PWM and up to 16-channels of LED PWM.
 Secure Boot and Flash Encryption.
 Cryptographic Hardware Acceleration for AES, Hash (SHA-2), RSA, ECC and RNG.

Different Ways to Program:

A good hardware like ESP32 will be more user friendly if it can be programmed (writing
code) in more than one way. And not surprisingly, the ESP32 supports multiple programming
environments.

Some of the commonly used programming environments are:

 Arduino IDE
 PlatformIO IDE (VS Code)
 LUA
 MicroPython
 Espressif IDF (IoT Development Framework)
 JavaScript

ESP32 DevKit – The ESP32 Development Board:

Espressif Systems released several modules based on ESP32 and one of the popular options is
the ESP-WROOM-32 Module. It consists of ESP32 SoC, a 40 MHz crystal oscillator, 4 MB
Flash IC and some passive components.

The good thing about ESP-WROOM-32 Module is the PCB has edge castellations. So, what
third-part manufacturers do is take the ESP-WROOM-32 Module and design a break-out
board for this module.

One such board is the ESP32 DevKit Board. It contains the ESP-WROOM-32 as the main
module and also some additional hardware to easily program ESP32 and make connections
with the GPIO Pins.
Layout:

The following image shows the layout of an ESP32 Development Board.

IMPORTANT NOTE: There are many ESP32 Boards based on ESP-WROOM-32 Module
available in the market. The layout, pinout and features vary from board to board.

The board which I have has 30 Pins (15 pins on each side). There are some board with 36
Pins and some with slightly less Pins. So, double check the pins before making connections
or even powering up the board.

the ESP32 Board consists of the following:

 ESP-WROOM-32 Module
 Two rows of IO Pins (with 15 pins on each side)
 CP2012 USB – UART Bridge IC
 micro–USB Connector (for power and programming)
 AMS1117 3.3V Regulator IC
 Enable Button (for Reset)
 Boot Button (for flashing)
 Power LED (Red)
 User LED (Blue – connected to GPIO2)
 Some passive components

An interesting point about the USB-to-UART IC is that its DTR and RTS pins are used to
automatically set the ESP32 in to programming mode (whenever required) and also rest the
board after programming.

Key Features of ESP32 Audio Boards:

 ESP32 Microcontroller: The core of the board, providing Wi-Fi and Bluetooth
connectivity, along with powerful processing capabilities.
 Audio Codec: Handles the conversion of analog audio signals (like microphone
input) to digital format and vice versa for digital audio output (like speaker output).
 Amplifier: Boosts the audio signal to drive speakers or headphones.
 Microphone Interface: Allows for connecting external microphones for voice input.
 I/O Pins: For interfacing with other components like sensors, buttons, and displays.

Common Use Cases

 Smart Home Devices: Voice-controlled lighting, temperature control, and security


systems.
 Wearable Devices: Smartwatches with voice commands and audio notifications.
 IoT Devices: Remote audio monitoring, noise detection, and acoustic sensing.
 Education and Hobbyist Projects: Building DIY audio gadgets and learning about
audio processing techniques.

Popular ESP32 Audio Boards

Several popular ESP32 audio boards are available on the market, each with its own unique
features and capabilities. Some of the most common ones include:

 ESP32-CAM: This board combines a camera module with audio capabilities, making
it ideal for video and audio streaming applications.
 ESP32-S2 Audio Kit: Specifically designed for audio applications, it offers a rich set
of features like microphone inputs, speaker outputs, and audio codecs.
 Custom Audio Boards: You can also design and build your own custom audio
boards to meet specific project requirements.

Conclusion: ESP32 audio boards have emerged as powerful tools for creating innovative IoT
devices that incorporate audio functionalities. By leveraging the capabilities of the ESP32 and
advanced audio processing techniques, this case study demonstrates the potential for creating
innovative and engaging voice-activated devices.
