Audio Brick Dual DAC prototype work
One of the great features of ESPHome is its modularity. Idea that popped up some time ago – can I make an ESP32 board with two DACs, similar to Louder Raspberry Hat 2X? Hardware is not the issue, but software that would work right out of the box with two I2C-controlled DACs is not something…

While the first prototypes were based on the TPA3128 amp, this batch is based on the TPA3110 amp. The reason for this change is not the…

Start of sales on Lectronz
Due to the Tindie outage, I’m moving my shop to Lectronz. I’m planning to open sales at Sonocotta.com as well (where I had to spend 2 days moving everything to new hosting), but it would take some time to configure everything from scratch and do a full stock revision. Most of the ESP32 boards are…
