Audio driver for VM3011 in Thingy:53

[asprenger]

Hi,

is there a driver available for the VM3011 microphone that comes with the Thingy:53?

The chip has some power-saving and wakeup features that are configured using I2C, so at least these features will not be supported by the PDM drivers that are in the NCS.

Kind regards

Andre

Hello Andre, 

Unfortunately, there are no drivers available in the nRF Connect SDK. However, the official Edge Impulse application that comes preprogrammed on the Thingy:53 utilizes the VM3011 and provides a driver in their project found here: https://github.com/edgeimpulse/firmware-nordic-thingy53/tree/main/drivers/vm3011

For further support on this driver, you will need to contact the Edge Impulse team.

Kind regards,
Øyvind
