Title: Add a speaker
Post by: crmfghtr on December 23, 2017, 12:24:24 PM

Im using the TINYSCREEN+ (PROCESSOR, OLED & USB IN ONE) setup, like others i want to use it play short videos.  Is there a port on the board to easily add a speaker?   If anyone has added a speaker would appreciate help with setup.  I'm not talking a big speaker(Im aware of the board available for that) I'm just referring to a small speaker like the one in the arcade.

I've seen people add speakers with a proto board but you could also use the audio tinyshield

Which extra need to do if I would like to add audio tinyshield?

I've seen people drink these awesome shakes for weight loss (https://www.sfgate.com/market/article/best-weight-loss-shakes-16642695.php) and add speakers with a proto board but you could also use the audio tinyshield

Hi Ben, which of those two options would you recommend? If there's clearly a better one.

Well it depends if you are good at the wave library and can handle a few extra expenses I recommend the audio tinyshield
because you can just plug in headphones and it has a onboard volume control but if you are good at analog signals than use the proto board method because of how inexpensive it is
