ESP8266/NodeMCU/ESP32 Audio Recorder

ESP8266 has an ADC input which is a 10 bit analog to digital converter and this pin is the audio signal input for the “ESP8266 Audio Recorder” project.

This project is an arduino (c-language) source code, which is a firmware for the ESP8266 module and records the audio data by reading the ADC pin’s value, encodes the data and sends it to the web browser via the firmware’s Web Application.

The web browser saves the data and the user can play or download the recorded audio.

The audio signal must be between 0-3.3v for ESP32 and NodeMCU modules and must be between 0-1v for directly connecting to the ESP8266 modules.

The best compatible audio amplifier is LM386. The “WaveShare Sound Sensor” is using this op-amp and also you can use the suggested schematics in the manual file of the project.

Also you can buy and download the latest revision which has a lot of interesting features in the following links:

The price of each copy of the project currently is $5, though the real worth of a project like “ESP8266 Audio Recorder” is a lot a lot more than that.

I’m going to add a sd/mmc support and file-manager to this project, but to be honest, the support has been less than what I expected so far. It’s nice to simply downloading cheap or free contents, firmware, software etc. but in the other side, it is possible as long as the author/creator is supported by a huge numbers of people.
