Audio file to SD

Hello,

Sorry to post again but I’m still struggling with getting audio files saved onto SD card.

I am trying to modify https://github.com/rickkas7/photonAudio code to allow me to save directly to an SD card instead of sending over the server.

// 2048 is a good size for this buffer. This is the number of samples; the number of bytes is twice
// this, but only half the buffer is sent a time, and then each pair of samples is averaged, so
// this results in 1024 byte writes from TCP, which is optimal.
// This uses 4096 bytes of RAM, which is also reasonable.

I understand from this post :Help with saving .wav file to SDCard
that I should be trying to replace the client.write function with a similar DMA transfer to the SD card but I have so far been unable to produce this…

case STATE_RUNNING:
		if (DMA_GetFlagStatus(DMA2_Stream0, DMA_FLAG_HTIF0)) {
		    DMA_ClearFlag(DMA2_Stream0, DMA_FLAG_HTIF0);
		    sendBuf = samples;
		}
		if (DMA_GetFlagStatus(DMA2_Stream0, DMA_FLAG_TCIF0)) {
		    DMA_ClearFlag(DMA2_Stream0, DMA_FLAG_TCIF0);
		    sendBuf = &samples[SAMPLE_BUF_SIZE / 2];
		}

		if (sendBuf != NULL) {
			// There is a sample buffer to send

			// Average the pairs of samples
			for(size_t ii = 0, jj = 0; ii < SAMPLE_BUF_SIZE / 2; ii += 2, jj++) {
				uint32_t sum = (uint32_t)sendBuf[ii] + (uint32_t)sendBuf[ii + 1];
				sendBuf[jj] = (uint16_t)(sum / 2);
			}

			// Send here. We're actually sending 1/4 of the samples here, 1/2 of the
			// samples buffer, and we've averaged each pair of samples, but the samples
			// are 16 bits and client.write() takes bytes, so only / 2 here
			int count = client.write((uint8_t *)sendBuf, SAMPLE_BUF_SIZE / 2);
			if (count == SAMPLE_BUF_SIZE / 2) {
				// Success
			}
			else
			if (count == -16) {
				// TCP Buffer full
				Serial.printlnf("buffer full, discarding");
			}
			else {
				// Error
				Serial.printlnf("error writing %d", count);
				state = STATE_FINISH;
			}
		}

		if (millis() - recordingStart >= MAX_RECORDING_LENGTH_MS) {
			state = STATE_FINISH;
		}
		break;

If anyone could offer some guidance/assistance on this it would be much appreciated.

As some further background:

I require a sampling rate of around 20kHz + but at the moment any rate will be good.
Eventually I would like to save this output as a .wav file on connected SD card using SdFat library
I am using Particle Photon with an ADMP401 microphone

Have you put any more effort into this?

Hi ScruffR,

Yes, thank you for your help I just needed to work through it a bit. I have moved onto writing the wav header and now have two separate programs which record the data stream and write the header… Just working on getting them to work together now but I feel like I am close to outputting a .wav file. Thanks for your assistance!

Good to hear, you got unstuck :+1:
Have you seen my post on your other thread?
