ESP 8266 WiFi MP3 Player using YX5300 chip

[@prettyawful]

Hey guys, im using parts of this project atm , thanks so much for sharing. There's an indent error on line 123 of main.py btw, wouldnt work for me untill corrected. As a noob it took me a while to get the esp8266 working. Steps to make it work: 1. install python + esptool 2. install/update the wemos usb drivers 3. "flash" the chip with esptool 4. upload the right firmware 5. download ampy (python app) 6. edit the main.py file from maker makerUSA and change the spaces on line 123 to fit the lines underneath it. 7. download the boot.py from the esp8266 and add network configuration code 7. Upload the files from makerUSA Again thanks a lot for this!

[@MakerUSA]

Thank you, I have fixed the indentation.

I know this video is old but the 8266 can stream MP3s (and in fact internet radio) itself - it has built in i2s with DMA for that purpose - you don’t need a separate MP3 module...

[@MakerUSA]

Yeah makes sense, when I made the video, there was very little documentation on the ESP8266. Also this is still useful from a different perspectives including using the same technique to control the MP3 module through an arduino without WiFi off course.

What firmware did you use to get the web interface on the D1 mini? Thanks

[@myozone]

This would great if this also had an MQTT input

[@UmarSear]

don't think that is a hard addition.

[@ajpran]

thanks so much, this is what i'm looking for... i will make this, i hope everything goes well...

[@samsulbahridapurwebsite]

How to make if input with number spesific track in web?

[@berbagibaik]

How to add schedule time play, time play by day and aclock

[@kanui3618]

I'm looking for bluetooth speaker use esp32 do you know how to make this?

[@webflue]

Great project and has given me some ideas. Can you run a speaker directly or do you need an amp? I want to use this on a teddy to read bedtime stories or any other audio files I decide to stream.

[@UmarSear]

You can run the speaker directly, It's designed to be used with headphones or through an amplifier, however for the use case you mentioned I think it should work well when matched with the right speaker.

[@satishgupta0709]

hey, Can i used this module to make a call and talk/interact with them on the speaker added to the wifi module? please reply me asap its urgent boss plzz if i cant interfCE THEM PLEASE TELL ME THE OTHER WIFI MODULE AVAILABLE FOR CAL MAKING

[@ScottCLemon]

What speaker are you using in this demo? It actually sounds surprisingly loud! What specs? Ohms and power rating?

[@UmarSear]

Will double check, I believe it's an 8Ohm speaker I got from this store stores.ebay.com/speakerjoe

[@tommychanpc]

Does it can reverse the process? Using a mic replace the speaker and using the esp8266 send out a MP3 file to the phone or computer?

[@MakerUSA]

Well you would not need the MP3 module for that. To do what you mentioned you need to capture the microphone output and then compress it in MP3 format. The ESP8266 probably does not have enough processing power to do that.

Hello, when I connect Catalex MP3 Board to Wemos, Wemos is locked. Is there a schematic of your connection? Could it be about power? Thank you

[@MakerUSA]

[@UmarSear]

Hard to say, double check the connections I can not reproduce your problem.

There were errors in the entries in main.py. it works when corrected.

[@lornioiz]

Hello! I know that the RX and TX pins are used for the repl, did you therefore test it with the webrepl? or the webrepl is using those pin somehow al well? Thank you!

[@MakerUSA]

Lorenzo Baldi hi yes I had to use the Web repl a bit of a pain that there is only one serial interface.

[@lornioiz]

Thank you! you saved me a lot of testing!

[@lezbriddon]

does this need a router / home wifi or can you just connect phone direct to esp?

[@MakerUSA]

In my implementation the ESP is connecting to wifi and the phone as well. It is possible to have the ESP to act as an access point so that the phone can connect to it. The issue with that will be that the phone will not be able to connect to the internet in that case. Your usage may warrant that kind of a solution.

[@ThomasArroyo]

@@MakerUSA Is there any way that you can please share the code to make the ESP an access point?

[@bobbydigital9323]

Hi. I am new to microcontrollers. Can i use the yx5300 with a raspberry pi?

[@UmarSear]

It just used a serial interface so pretty much any micro controller will work.

[@tobychow4761]

where is the speaker hooked up to

[@MakerUSA]

It's connected through an amplifier. One of these www.ebay.com/str/speakerjoe/Amplifier/_i.html?_storecat=14719247015 Can't remember which one exactly

[@adamt7367]

Hello, I have a few questions first is how do I get the script on to the wemos D1 mini? do I just put the code onto the memory card or what?

[@UmarSear]

You need to upload the code to the D1 Mini through the arduino IDE

[@adamt7367]

Oh okay how do I do this? sorry im new to all of this :)

[@JuicyVids1]

Yeah how do you do this? I wanna do it too

[@squalazzo]

does this mp3 module support id3 tag reading from the mp3 files? thanks

[@MakerUSA]

Hi, Unfortunately it does not. I don't believe it's designed to be used as a full fledged MP3 player implementation. It's more of an industrial use design.

[@MakerUSA]

My needs for this particular project were very specific and this module works. I am going to get some VS5300 based modules to experiment with soon. I will share my experience with that too.

[@patrit4393]

Is it possible to stream mp3 from web to YX5300 device?

[@MakerUSA]

I don't think so, again I would use a VS1053 for that, there is Arduino code examples available on the net for that.

[@jackronaldo774]

Program not found...... Can you give me the program.

[@UmarSear]

It's on GitHub, the link is in the description.

[@smshashank13]

Can we use vs1003 instead of yx5300?

[@MakerUSA]

Yes indeed. That will give you things like ID.Tags etc I believe. I have not tried it myself yet.

[@iceberg789]

is the music quality good ?

[@umarsear715]

Quality is very good, now remember the final output is going to depend on amplifier, speakers, power source etc etc

[@iceberg789]

thanks. but i looked up the manual for this ic/module, and found there was no instruction to fetch available files in sd card. i wanted something, with which i can build a playlist with available files. is there any such module available, that outputs the sd card file name/ path etc ?

[@MakerUSA]

There are some, I have them on my list of things to test and try out.

[@marcosfreitas7159]

Very good
