Audio output on internal DAC?

[zeekoe]

Hi,

Great work, looks nice! I've been searching around for a while to see if/how I can output audio on the internal DAC using DMA. Because I like to have sound, and low quality is fine. Apparently, the I2S thingy inside the ESP32 can route it's audio to the DAC. I've seen some C examples that do stuff like that, but diving into C is quite a lot more hassle than python... In your readme I can't see things that point into that direction. Is it just not supported, or is it not documented?

Kind regards, Ronald

Hi Ronald, At the moment, the I2S pull request does not support output to the DAC. Only Philips I2S protocol is supported. I may implement the DAC feature after I finish I2S support for the PyBoards. That will be at least 6 months out.

The Loboris ESP32 port offers I2S/DAC support. You may want to try that port.

Thanks. Sorry for not replying. So it seems I have to choice currently between adding a 4 MB flash chip (my doesn't have) or adding an external DAC. Don't have time to do it myself either, so I'll just wait. :) It's only for a toy project anyway.
