With the Pirate Audio Dual Mic for Raspberry Pi, you can capture stereo sounds and store them securely on your Raspberry Pi. It features a pair of matched I2S microphones, a bright high - resolution color display, and four tactile control buttons. This Raspberry Pi mini HAT is a great tool for quickly recording stereo audio clips. You can use it as a small dictaphone for jotting down important notes, shopping lists, melodies, or even those wild dreams. Take it a step further and use it for sound analysis with machine learning or connect it to Google Assistant or Alexa APIs. Pirate Audio is a series of all - in - one audio boards for Raspberry Pi, offering high - quality digital audio, sharp IPS displays, tactile buttons for software control, and custom Pirate Audio software. Key features include 2 SPH0645LM4H - B microphones with high - performance acoustic sensors, a 65dB signal - to - noise ratio, an in - built ADC, and an I2S interface. There's also a 1.3' IPS color LCD and four tactile buttons. It comes fully assembled in a mini HAT - format board, compatible with all 40 - pin header Raspberry Pi models. The dimensions are approximately 31mm x 65mm x 9mm. We've prepared a clip recorder example app and an easy installer. To get started, set up an SD card with the latest Raspberry Pi OS, connect to the network, open a terminal and run some simple commands, then reboot your Pi. Note that the buttons are active low and connected to specific pins. Unlike other Pirate Audio boards, this one works well with a Pibow Coupé case. Also, it has no audio output, so you'll need an external audio device to listen to your recordings.
Using the Pirate Audio Dual Mic for Raspberry Pi is easy. First, make sure your Raspberry Pi has the latest OS on the SD card and is connected to the network. Then, open a terminal and follow the provided commands to install the software. After installation, reboot your Pi. You can start recording stereo audio with just a click of the buttons. You can use it as a handy dictaphone for various notes or explore more advanced uses like sound analysis. When it comes to maintenance, keep it in a clean and dry place. Since the board has no audio output, always have an external audio device ready if you want to listen to your recordings. Also, be aware of the button connections and that it can work well with a Pibow Coupé case without a booster header.
