Integration of PDM microphone with thingy53

I want to integrate the PDM microphone with thingy53, I found no particular sample code for it

Would be needing help from scratch

  • Hi Rakshita

    Have you tested the DMIC sample in the SDK?

    It is not officially supported on the Thingy53, but it does support the nRF5340DK. If you copy and rename the nrf5340dk_nrf5340_cpuapp.overlay file to thingy53_nrf5340_cpuapp.overlay, and change the pins as necessary, I would expect the example to work on the thingy as well. 

    Not sure what you mean about repeating output? If I understand you correctly the clock output from the nRF53 is fine, but the data from the microphone seems wrong? Would you be able to attach a trace/scope capture? 

    Best regards

  • dmic is not working with thingy53 even after changing the overlay files 

  • Hi Rakshita

    I set the PDM_CLK to P0.08 and the data pin to P0.09, as you can see from the overlay:

    	psels = <NRF_PSEL(PDM_CLK, 0, 8)>,
    		<NRF_PSEL(PDM_DIN, 0, 9)>;

    Which SDK version are you using to build it? 

    Can you share the full build output with me so I can try to figure out what is happening? 
    Please use the Insert -> Code feature in devzone to add a larger block of text, or attach the build output as a text file. 

    Best regards
    Torbjørn

  • Yes but as per the thingy's schematic the clk pin is P1.09 and data pin is P0.27

  • Can you tell me what to do next, I am kind of stuck on this microphone thing only

    Can u please help me out to solve it
