Speaker hum circuit express

Post by Waggy6 »

I just recently purchased the circuit playground Express. When the device is running code it seems that the speaker makes a bit of a humming and occasionally a clicking sound even though I'm not asking it to produce any sound. Is this normal? The sound that the speaker is producing seems to interfere with the ability to use the microphone correctly.

Can you post the code that you are running and a photo of what you have connected to the CPX?

input.onLoudSound(function () {
light.showAnimation(light.rainbowAnimation, 2000)
light.stopAllAnimations()
})


And there is nothing but either the usb or the batery pack connected. there are no other things connected.

this code basically triggers constantly in a quiet room.
