Features
The I2S Audio Shield brings the noise with:
- MAX98357 I2S Decoder and Amp
- 3W Class D Amplifier
- I2S sample rates from 8kHz to 96kHz
- Click + Pop suppression
- Thermal shutdown protection
- Micro SD Card slot
- Magnetic buzzer for onboard audio via a PAM8301 amplifier
- A switch to swap between on-board sound and external speaker that can be connected via provided header
- Comes with a separate screw terminal that can be soldered on for external speaker connection
Powering the Shield
The components on the shield are powered by the 3V3 header pin, so if you are connecting this shield to another MCU board, please provide 3V3 to that header pin, or the shield will not work.
Using the SD Card
If you are wanting to use the SD Card slot in your project, please ensure you set the SPI MI pin as an INPUT_PULL_HIGH or initialising the slot will fail.
For Arduino:
pinMode(MI_PIN, INPUT_PULLUP);
