# Audioreactive usermod
2022-06-08 21:14:01 +02:00
Enabless controlling LEDs via audio input. Audio source can be a microphone or analog-in (AUX) using an appropriate adapter.
Supported microphones range from analog (MAX4466, MAX9814, ...) to digital (INMP441, ICS-43434, ...).
Does audio processing and provides data structure that specially written effects can use.
**does not** provide effects or draw anything to an LED strip/matrix.

## Additional Documentation
This usermod is an evolution of [SR-WLED](https://github.com/atuline/WLED), and a lot of documentation and information can be found in the [SR-WLED wiki](https://github.com/atuline/WLED/wiki):
* [getting started with audio](https://github.com/atuline/WLED/wiki/First-Time-Setup#sound)
* [Sound settings](https://github.com/atuline/WLED/wiki/Sound-Settings) - similar to options on the usemod settings page in WLED.
* [Digital Audio](https://github.com/atuline/WLED/wiki/Digital-Microphone-Hookup)
* [Analog Audio](https://github.com/atuline/WLED/wiki/Analog-Audio-Input-Options)
* [UDP Sound sync](https://github.com/atuline/WLED/wiki/UDP-Sound-Sync)
## Supported MCUs
This audioreactive usermod works best on "classic ESP32" (dual core), and on ESP32-S3 which also has dual core and hardware floating point support.
It will compile succesfully for ESP32-S2 and ESP32-C3, however might not work well, as other WLED functions will become slow. Audio processing requires a lot of computing power, which can be problematic on smaller MCUs like -S2 and -C3.
Analog audio is only possible on "classic" ESP32, but not on other MCUs like ESP32-S3.
Currently ESP8266 is not supported, due to low speed and small RAM of this chip.
There are however plans to create a lightweight audioreactive for the 8266, with reduced features.

## Installation
### using customised _arduinoFFT_ library for use with this usermod
Add `-D USERMOD_AUDIOREACTIVE` to your PlatformIO environment `build_flags`, as well as `https://github.com/blazoncek/arduinoFFT.git` to your `lib_deps`.
If you are not using PlatformIO (which you should) try adding `#define USERMOD_AUDIOREACTIVE` to *my_config.h* and make sure you have _arduinoFFT_ library downloaded and installed.
Customised _arduinoFFT_ library for use with this usermod can be found at https://github.com/blazoncek/arduinoFFT.git
### using latest (develop) _arduinoFFT_ library
Alternatively, you can use the latest arduinoFFT development version.
ArduinoFFT `develop` library is slightly more accurate, and slighly faster than our customised library, however also needs additional 2kB RAM.
* `build_flags` = `-D USERMOD_AUDIOREACTIVE` `-D UM_AUDIOREACTIVE_USE_NEW_FFT`
* `lib_deps`= `https://github.com/kosme/arduinoFFT#develop @ 1.9.2`
## Configuration
All parameters are runtime configurable. Some may require a hard reset after changing them (I2S microphone or selected GPIOs).
If you want to define default GPIOs during compile time, use the following (default values in parentheses):
- `-D SR_DMTYPE=x` : defines digital microphone type: 0=analog, 1=generic I2S (default), 2=ES7243 I2S, 3=SPH0645 I2S, 4=generic I2S with master clock, 5=PDM I2S
- `-D AUDIOPIN=x` : GPIO for analog microphone/AUX-in (36)
- `-D I2S_SDPIN=x` : GPIO for SD pin on digital microphone (32)
- `-D I2S_WSPIN=x` : GPIO for WS pin on digital microphone (15)
- `-D I2S_CKPIN=x` : GPIO for SCK pin on digital microphone (14)
- `-D MCLK_PIN=x` : GPIO for master clock pin on digital Line-In boards (-1)
- `-D ES7243_SDAPIN` : GPIO for I2C SDA pin on ES7243 microphone (-1)
- `-D ES7243_SCLPIN` : GPIO for I2C SCL pin on ES7243 microphone (-1)
**NOTE** I2S is used for analog audio sampling. Hence, the analog *buttons* (i.e. potentiometers) are disabled when running this usermod with an analog microphone.
### Advanced Compile-Time Options
You can use the following additional flags in your `build_flags`
* `-D SR_SQUELCH=x` : Default "squelch" setting (10)
* `-D SR_GAIN=x` : Default "gain" setting (60)
* `-D I2S_USE_RIGHT_CHANNEL`: Use RIGHT instead of LEFT channel (not recommended unless you strictly need this).
* `-D I2S_USE_16BIT_SAMPLES`: Use 16bit instead of 32bit for internal sample buffers. Reduces sampling quality, but frees some RAM ressources (not recommended unless you absolutely need this).
* `-D I2S_GRAB_ADC1_COMPLETELY`: Experimental: continously sample analog ADC microphone. Only effective on ESP32. WARNING this _will_ cause conflicts(lock-up) with any analogRead() call.
* `-D MIC_LOGGER` : (debugging) Logs samples from the microphone to serial USB. Use with serial plotter (Arduino IDE)
* `-D SR_DEBUG` : (debugging) Additional error diagnostics and debug info on serial USB.
