    If you're getting started, the ESP8266Audio library makes it easy to play audio with the Arduino toolchain. For more advanced use cases, Espressif's own ESP-ADF has a lot of useful features and examples.

    I'm trying to build a wireless doorbell chime to use with my smart home setup and the first step is trying to get sound. I have a Wemos D1 mini v4 that I'm using as the base. I'm attempting to use the ESP8266Audio library for audio, and I'm attempting to use the example sketch to play an audio file from SPIFFS. I have the audio file in the /data folder, and the sketch compiles and uploads correctly to the D1 mini. When running though I get the following output:
  • Anybody know of an I2S audio library for ESP32 to play tones?

    There is an example from this one, but it plays every second instead of the whole duration. https://github.com/earlephilhower/ESP8266Audio

    I started using it a year ago to make games and whatnot, and it has become my main language for hobby stuff. It has much less development friction than c++/rust and a much better type system than go. The library ecosystem is small but most of the libraries i want to use are just little C libraries, which nim can use easily...for example i use this library to generate the MIDI notes.
