    Use Micropython With microphone library

    Hi. How can i use micropython firmware alongside a Max9814 , with this module? Any Solutions?

    I have written the code below but cant hear clear voice in audacity...

    from machine import Pin, ADC
    import ustruct , time
    
    analog_value = machine.ADC(26)
    conversion_factor =3.3/(65536)
    
    samples = []
    
    while True:
        reading = analog_value.read_u16()*conversion_factor   
    samples.append(int(reading)) #print("ADC: ",reading)
    time.sleep(0.002)
    
    
    
    with open('Voice.bin', 'wb') as output:
         for sample in samples:
            output.write(struct.pack('<h', sample))

    for examples/usb_microphone, set Gain to 1 to lower the background noise.

    Thanks to this project, make me able to make my own microphone with excellent sound quality without having to write code.

    At first time, I tested many microphones, SPK0838HT4H has ~ -45dB background noise, MSM26D4040H11 has ~ -35dB, MSM261D4030H1C has ~ 33dB. I checked the DCDC power supply. and ask the resellers why those microphones have so much noise but no useful result

    when I decide to port RNNoise to PI2040, I want to add a simple -25dB suppressor first. then I find this...

    https://github.com/ArmDeveloperEcosystem/microphone-library-for-pico/blob/a837f633a6ad2bac268349df35d57e46e551f416/src/pdm_microphone.c#L96-L103

    after add pdm_microphone_set_filter_gain(1); to the main function in examples/usb_microphone/main.c all microphones works perfect with < -90dB noise.

    So please consider changing the default gain to 1.

  • Reducing Gain of the Microphone

    Reducing Gain of the Microphone

    Hi, I was trying to record some audio using the same microphone setup as you instructed. It was a loud audio and for the same reason clipping was observed when the recording was analyzed. I tried to change the "Filter Gain" and "Volume" parameters to reduce the gain but didn't work. It would be great to have some lead on reducing the input gain. Thanks!!

    Device cannot start error on Windows 10

    Hi, thank you for the sample code. I tried it on Ubuntu 18.04 and Windows. While Ubuntu 18.04 finds MicNode and shows it in Audacity, the device fails to start in Windows 10.

    • MicNode does appear under "Sound, video and game devices" in Device Manager, but with a yellow triangle icon (apparently indicating that the device failed to start)
    • right-clicking on MicNode in Device Manager shows device status as "This device cannot start. (Code 10) The specified range could not be found in the range list."

    Any advice would be much appreciated. Thank you

    I am using a different analog microphone, not the one suggested in this example. Note that I have changed .bias_voltage = 0.0,

    I am recording 10 seconds of audio at 8000 Hz entirely in memory, then sending all the recorded audio samples to USB serial port, where I display all the data in putty as well as save as putty log file. I use this log file to regenerate audio in the PC.

    If I play back the audio samples in matlab the sound is very fast (only high speed, not high pitch), and sounds as though some audio samples are being skipped. Since the number of audio samples matches what I expect, it seems the skipping is happening at the ADC itself. Could you please give me some hints on how to fix this?

    I have uploaded a sample of my recording here: https://soundcloud.com/user-202091011/pico-mic-rec-01-samsung-galaxy-s7-over-the-horizon-2016

    The sound volume is a bit low but my main problem is the speed of the playback and the audio frames being skipped

    Background low-frequency, fluctuating tone in recordings

    Hi, thank you for the sample code. Microphone sound capture works, but there it comes with background low-frequency tone that fluctuates (on/off a few times per second). I've attached a WAV recording - the fluctuating background tone is easy to hear at the end of the recording. Also, it appears that the audio has some breaks in it (i.e. sound gets missing momentarily). untitled.wav.zip Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you

  • Compile errors: not compatible with TinyUSB 0.10?

    Compile errors: not compatible with TinyUSB 0.10?

    Hi,

    When building the project I get a lot of errors related to TinyUSB -- see below.

    Version 1.2 of the Pico SDK updated TinyUSB from 0.8.0 to 0.10.1, and the release notes mention: "Note also that moving from TinyUSB 0.8.0 to TinyUSB 0.10.1 may require some minor changes to your USB code."

    I'm guessing that these errors are caused by the TinyUSB update, and changes are required tusb_config.h and usb_descriptors.c -- perhaps main.c as well. I noticed that the TinyUSB audio_test example has quite a few changes to these files.

    Can someone please confirm that this project isn't compatible with TinyUSB 0.10.1?

    Thanks,

    Dan

    Sample rate lower than 16000 may cause some PDM microphone to stop outputting data

    The output frequency of the clk pin is calculated by the sample rate, and some PDM microphone has a limited frequency range for clock speed (Like MP34Dxxx has a clock rate limit from1 to 3.25 MHz), which causes the sample rate below 16000(Corresponding to the clk frequency of 1.024MHz) to sometimes fail to make the microphone work.
