M5Paper Speaker
-
Hello all,
quick question, it seems the M5Paper does not have a speaker. Would it be possible to add one?Thank you.

Thanks for your reply. I'll put the question within the wish list topics although if anyone could lead me on how to do it myself, it would be great too :)

I guess it depends on what you want to do. I assume you want an external speaker, correct? If so, what are your requirements (just buzzer beeps/tones or full wav/mp3 audio) and how do you want to program it (Arduino, uiFlow, or MicroPython)? There are plenty of options out there if you search for I2C speaker.

@world101 yep also this is a bit strange we have SPK Hat for Stick but there is no standalone SPK. I think all core units got own internal SPK.

Have you got a bluetooth speaker?
If so, you could try using your M5Paper to send audio using a bluetooth a2dp connection to your speaker.
I found this arduino project:
https://github.com/pschatzmann/ESP32-A2DP
After making my own audio sample files, I can send audio from my M5Paper to my M5 Atom Echo (running the default factory firmware). I can also send to my other Urban Revolt bluetooth speaker, so it seems to be working correctly.

@veryalien
That’s awesome! Care to share your project and samples? I would like to play around with it. -
@world101 You can just use the files in the ESP32-A2DP project as a start.
I didn't change anything in the arduino library, I just had to change the name of the speaker (obviously) in the bt_music_sender_write example. There's an error in that sample project at the moment as StarWars10 is defined, but the data is actually called StarWars30, just rename it and it should compile.
I had the problem that the original sample played at double speed! I've followed the instructions to create new samples in audacity and export/convert them. Make sure to exactly create 44100 stereo 16-bit PCM data files, convert with xxd and then use TwoChannelSoundData so it plays at the correct speed. -
Thanks for your updates. I will give it a try.

@mati I've posted the suggestion on the wish list but somehow it got deleted :S

@world101 Thanks for your reply. For the project I have in mind, I just only need beeps, but if I'm going to hack around, I'll try to attach a speaker since it would allow me to do many other things. For programming I'd go with Arduino.
