I was searching for the most efficient generic way to process the whole SD directory tree in Arduino: this can be helpful if you want to search for files or if you want to store the whole file system in a tree in RAM. The Standard SD API Way When Read more
Im my last blog I was describing the DLNA Architecture. So we are ready now to dig into my first __Arduino DLNA Sketch__. By combining my arduino-dlna with the arduino-audio-tools library it is quite easy to build a Network Audio Renderer that can e.g. be controlled via an Android Application: Read more
The major advantage of the DLNA architecture is it’s clear separation of concerns. This split into specialized roles allows developers to create focused, efficient devices that, when combined, form a sophisticated whole-house audio system. The architecture is built around three core components: Media Servers, which store and distribute (e.g. audio) Read more
Introduction Last year, I started to work on a DLNA library for Arduino. There are some existing implementations, but they only implement “Control Points”, but no “Devices”. Now that the weather is getting colder, I decided to give this topic some more “love”. The Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA) aimed Read more
Yesterday I was ask to extend my Arduino AudioTools library to support RTTTL. To be honest, I had no clue what this is, so I had to look it up: RTTTL stands for Ring Tone Text Transfer Language and was developed by Nokia to transfer ringtones to cellphones. It basically Read more
In my last Arduino AudioTools Release I have integrated a RTSP server and client. The server was using RTOS tasks for the session management und a timer for timing the audio data. I decided to make things more flexible by providing different implementations for the Server and Streamer. Here is Read more
October 2025 I’m excited to share some significant updates to the Arduino Emulator project that make it more robust, easier to use, and better aligned with official Arduino standards. These changes represent a major step forward in cross-platform Arduino development. 🔄 Arduino Core as Official Submodule The most significant architectural Read more
Introduction Last week, I was asking myself the question how easy or difficult it would be to publish mp3 files via a RTSP server. Quite some time ago, I have extended the Mico-RTSP-Audio project to be integrated with the AudioTools, so all I theoretically needed to do was using Read more
I was always unhappy that just importing my Arduino Audio Tools library was using quite some PROGMEM and RAM even with an empty sketch: Sketch uses 888547 bytes (67%) of program storage space. Maximum is 1310720 bytes. Global variables use 43352 bytes (13%) of dynamic memory, leaving 284328 bytes for Read more
The Goertzel Algorithm is an optimized Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) that can detect defined frequencies. It can be used e.g. to identify DTMF keys. DTMF keys conist of 2 tones that can be described by the following diagram: In the Arduino Audio Tools library we can use the GoertzelStream to Read more
