Esparagus Audio Brick Voice Assist
This is a copy of a post prepared for the Esparagus Audio Brick Crowd Supply campaign. One of the reasons to make an ESP32-S3 version of the board is the more advanced architecture of that chip, which allows for on-chip wake word detection. Similar to the Home Assistant Home device, the Esparagus Audio Brick can…

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…

Voice-Assist + Sendspin ESPHome configs
A person from the community reached out recently asking if it is possible to add Sendspin configuration for voice-assist config. Esparagus Echo, or any other ESP32-S3 board that supports voice-assist. After some poking, it turned out that it is possible, and two experimental features work surprisingly well together. Wake-word detection works, TTS works, and audio…

Esparagus ESPHome Integration
This is a copy of a post prepared for the Esparagus Audio Brick Crowd Supply campaign. Introduction The Esparagus Audio Brick was created specifically with the smart home in mind, and although there are a number of alternatives on the market, I think the most popular one is Home Assistant. And the most popular (and easy)…

Updated Sendspin configs for ESP32 devices
Small update on the ESPHome configs for Sendspin media players. Until now, existing configs worked relatively well on the ESP32-S3-based devices – I guess Sendspin developers used them mainly, so it was working quite well from the start, and recent releases had nothing to wish for – they just work flawlessly. It was a different…

Infineon MA12070P DAC support
I finally found some time to work on the Loud-ESP32-Plus boards, which have been lying on the desk since January. While hardware was not a big issue, software support turned out to be a bit more complex. Snapclient support My first take was to use the snapclient component, which supposedly existed already. As it turned…

Amped-ESP32-Plus is now available at Elecrow
Hey folks. Amped-ESP32-Plus is finally available. Exclusively at Elecrow at the moment, but another package is heading to Europe as well, so sales via Lectronz/Tindie will follow right after. 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…

Sendspin updated configs
Hey folks. I updated sendspin configs for the Sonocotta boards to use the latest stable code in this PR. Hope that might help with testing it. Updated configs are for Esparagus boards, ESP32 audio boards, and Esparagus echo. My own observations: S3-based boards work really smoothly, really nothing to complain about. Classic ESP32 is quite…
