3.1.3 Audio Module

Introduction

In this project, let’s make a DIY stereo with an audio power amplifier module, 8ohm/2w speakers and a 3.5mm Audio cable.

Required Components

In this project, we need the following components.

It’s definitely convenient to buy a whole kit, here’s the link:

Experimental Procedures

Step 1: Build the circuit.

After building the circuit according to the above diagram, then plug the audio cable into the Raspberry Pi’s 3.5mm audio jack.

Step 2: Get into the folder of the code.

cd ~/raphael-kit/python/

Step 3: Run.

python3 3.1.3_AudioModule.py

After the code runs, you can enjoy the music.

Code

Note

You can Modify/Reset/Copy/Run/Stop the code below. But before that, you need to go to source code path like raphael-kit/python. After modifying the code, you can run it directly to see the effect.

from pygame import mixer
import os
user = os.getlogin()
user_home = os.path.expanduser(f'~{user}')

mixer.init()

def main():
    mixer.music.load(f'{user_home}/raphael-kit/music/my_music.mp3')
    mixer.music.set_volume(0.7)
    mixer.music.play()
    while True:
        pass# Don't do anything.

def destroy():
    mixer.music.stop()

if __name__ == '__main__':
    try:
        main()
    except KeyboardInterrupt:
        destroy()

Code Explanation

from pygame import mixer

mixer.init()

Import the mixer method in the pygame library and initialize the method.

mixer.music.load(f'{user_home}/raphael-kit/music/my_music.mp3')
mixer.music.set_volume(0.7)
mixer.music.play()

This code reads the my_music.mp3 file in the ~/raphael-kit/music directory and sets the volume to 0.7(The range is 0~1). The Raspberry Pi will start playing audio When mixer.music.play() is called.

Note

You can also upload other music files to your Raspberry Pi. For a detailed tutorial, please refer to: FileZilla Software

mixer.music.stop()

Calling mixer.music.stop() will stop playing audio. In addition, you can also pause with mixer.music.pause() and continue with mixer.music.unpause().
