CircuitPython Audio FX #CircuitPython #AdafruitLearningSystem @Adafruit
Introducing CircuitPython Audio FX, a new way to create interactive sound experiences without writing Python code. In the guide, Jeff writes:
I love the Adafruit Audio FX family of boards based on the VS1000 WAV/OGG decoder chip, but let’s face it: they’re getting a bit long in the tooth.
Inspired by the way the Audio FX made it easy to create interactive sound experiences, I created CircuitPython Audio FX.
Like the VS1000 Audio FX, sounds are triggered by pressing a button or closing a switch; the behavior is controlled by the name of the sound file, so you don’t have to write any Python code.
Since the MP3 codec patents have all expired, CircuitPython Audio FX supports MP3 and WAV files, rather than OGG files.
CircuitPython Audio FX also supports polyphony: On the Raspberry Pi Pico 2 with RP2350 microcontroller, you can play 4 simultaneous low-bitrate MP3 files from the internal flash memory!

Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
