Feather + Microphone = Computer Mic?

[metajunkie]

Hello hello!

I'm interested in creating a DIY bluetooth microphone that can stream audio to my computer. Think custom gaming headset sort of thing. It seems like Feather + one of the microphone breakouts would do the trick, but it's hard to tell if any of the current feather boards would support this use case. Is there anything I should look for specifically?

Much appreciated, all.

The Feather nRF52840 might be a good choice as it has BLE and I2S & PDM support.

Thanks, Dave! That's a good call. But I did find this thread, though admittedly it's 4yo at this point: https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic ... t-le-audio

Interestingly, they seem to suggest: "At the current time it is only our nRF5340 that supports the full LE Audio specification, and it is only this SoC we recommend for any LE Audio applications." and "Our nRF52 series supports the radio communication parts required for LE Audio, but unfortunately they are unable to run the LC3 codec at the same time. "

I admit I got a bit lost at that point.

Understandable. This has gotten above my pay grade as well. I'll see what other folks have to say.

to do bluetooth audio you'll need something thta can do bluetooth classic; an ESP32 (not S2/S3) can do it with an I2S mic like the ICS-43434
we don't have a tutorial but there's def ones online!
