Adding Optical Audio to the Raspberry Pi #piday #raspberrypi @Raspberry_Pi
Raspberry Pis make great home entertainment centers. This upgrade will let you use that optical audio port many sound systems have. From Hackaday:
If you’re looking to connect a Raspberry Pi to the optical port of your AV system, [Nick Sayer] has you covered. His “TOSLINK Transceiver Hat” utilizes a WM8804 chip from Cirrus Logic to go from the Pi’s I2S audio output to S/PDIF. From there the signal goes directly into the TOSLINK input and output modules, which have the appropriate fiber optic hardware and drivers built-in. All you have to do from a software standpoint is enable a boot overlay intended for a digital-to-analog converter (DAC) from HiFiBerry.
