Unexpected output

[ValeraDanger]

Hey! I have lillygo ttgo t-camera module with i2s mic. Initially I used https://github.com/atomic14/esp32_audio/tree/master/i2s_sampling project, configured pins and all worked fine. (from working code)

// i2s config for reading from left channel of I2S
i2s_config_t i2sMemsConfigLeftChannel = {
    .mode = (i2s_mode_t)(I2S_MODE_MASTER | I2S_MODE_RX),
    .sample_rate = 32000,
    .bits_per_sample = I2S_BITS_PER_SAMPLE_16BIT,
    .channel_format = I2S_CHANNEL_FMT_ONLY_LEFT,
    .communication_format =  I2S_COMM_FORMAT_I2S_LSB, //i2s_comm_format_t(I2S_COMM_FORMAT_I2S),
    .intr_alloc_flags = ESP_INTR_FLAG_LEVEL1,
    .dma_buf_count = 4,
    .dma_buf_len = 1024,
    .use_apll = false,
    .tx_desc_auto_clear = false,
    .fixed_mclk = 0};

// i2s pins
i2s_pin_config_t i2sPins = {
    .bck_io_num = GPIO_NUM_26,
    .ws_io_num = GPIO_NUM_32,
    .data_out_num = I2S_PIN_NO_CHANGE,
    .data_in_num = GPIO_NUM_33};

Next, i have tried this your project https://github.com/atomic14/diy-alexa. This is not working for me. I founded in issues, that you have recomended to check micro by this mic-test project. But when i'm using this mic-test code, I can only get this or only zeroes at all. I tried to copy i2s and pins config areas from working code, swap pins between each other, change sample rate, sample bit and buffer size. I founded only one different between codes: .communication_format = I2S_COMM_FORMAT_I2S_LSB, in working code .communication_format = I2S_COMM_FORMAT_I2S, in borken code I have replaced this line too. But nothing could not help. Have you any ideas?

This is my full testing code

#include <driver/i2s.h>

// you shouldn't need to change these settings
#define SAMPLE_BUFFER_SIZE 512
#define SAMPLE_RATE 32000
// most microphones will probably default to left channel but you may need to tie the L/R pin low
#define I2S_MIC_CHANNEL I2S_CHANNEL_FMT_ONLY_LEFT
// either wire your microphone to the same pins or change these to match your wiring
#define I2S_MIC_SERIAL_CLOCK GPIO_NUM_26
#define I2S_MIC_LEFT_RIGHT_CLOCK GPIO_NUM_32
#define I2S_MIC_SERIAL_DATA GPIO_NUM_33

// don't mess around with this
i2s_config_t i2s_config = {
    .mode = (i2s_mode_t)(I2S_MODE_MASTER | I2S_MODE_RX),
    .sample_rate = 32000,
    .bits_per_sample = I2S_BITS_PER_SAMPLE_16BIT,
    .channel_format = I2S_CHANNEL_FMT_ONLY_LEFT,
    .communication_format =  I2S_COMM_FORMAT_I2S_LSB, //i2s_comm_format_t(I2S_COMM_FORMAT_I2S),
    .intr_alloc_flags = ESP_INTR_FLAG_LEVEL1,
    .dma_buf_count = 4,
    .dma_buf_len = 1024,
    .use_apll = false,
    .tx_desc_auto_clear = false,
    .fixed_mclk = 0};

// and don't mess around with this
i2s_pin_config_t i2s_mic_pins = {
    .bck_io_num = GPIO_NUM_26,
    .ws_io_num = GPIO_NUM_32,
    .data_out_num = I2S_PIN_NO_CHANGE,
    .data_in_num = GPIO_NUM_33};

void setup()
{
  // we need serial output for the plotter
  Serial.begin(115200);
  // start up the I2S peripheral
  i2s_driver_install(I2S_NUM_0, &i2s_config, 0, NULL);
  i2s_set_pin(I2S_NUM_0, &i2s_mic_pins);
}

int32_t raw_samples[SAMPLE_BUFFER_SIZE];
void loop()
{
  // read from the I2S device
  size_t bytes_read = 0;
  i2s_read(I2S_NUM_0, raw_samples, sizeof(int32_t) * SAMPLE_BUFFER_SIZE, &bytes_read, portMAX_DELAY);
  int samples_read = bytes_read / sizeof(int32_t);
  // dump the samples out to the serial channel.
  for (int i = 0; i < samples_read; i++)
  {
    Serial.printf("%ld\n", raw_samples[i]);
  }
}

The problem was in 2.0.4 version of esp core in Arduino IDE. Swithing to 1.0.6 helped

I ran into the exact same problem, it seems 2.0.4 is buggy, reverting to 2.0.3 fixed it. Thanks @ValeraDanger you saved me hours of troubleshooting.

Also, I had a error "python executable file not found" when switching to it, this command fixed it by running python3 instead of python: sed -i -e 's/=python /=python3 /g' ~/Library/Arduino15/packages/esp32/hardware/esp32/*/platform.txt

In platformio, this can be done by specifying an earlier release in platformio.ini (https://github.com/platformio/platform-espressif32/releases) platform = espressif32@5.0.0
