SimpleTone

This example shows you how to generate a simple tone using a SAMD21 based board (MKRZero, MKR1000 or Zero) and an I2S DAC like the adafruit MAX98357A.

Hardware Required

Circuit

To run this example you simply have to connect the board and the I2S DAC using the I2S bus as shown in the image. The image is for MKRZero; you find the proper pins for Zero and MKR1000 at the beginning of the sketch, in the comments.

Code


/*

 This example generates a square wave based tone at a specified frequency

 and sample rate. Then outputs the data using the I2S interface to a

 MAX08357 I2S Amp Breakout board.

 Circuit:

 * Arduino Zero, MKR family and Nano 33 IoT

 * MAX08357:

   * GND connected GND

   * VIN connected 5V

   * LRC connected to pin 0 (Zero) or 3 (MKR) or A2 (Nano)

   * BCLK connected to pin 1 (Zero) or 2 (MKR) or A3 (Nano)

   * DIN connected to pin 9 (Zero) or A6 (MKR) or 4 (Nano)
