Squeeze Rover

Here is my SqueezeLite ESP32 Board that I have created that has built-in I2S DAC with stereo audio.

This project works great with my other project here.

Also visit my wordpress post on this here.

So, this uses the TI PCM5102APWR DAC in with an I2S link via the ESP32 the internal pinout to the DAC is this

Clk=IO27, WordSelect=IO25, Data=IO26, Mute=IO33. You should look at Music Assistant server and SqeezeLite ESP32 this programmable via this page. It should also work with ESPHome if you would like to use that to program the device. On the squeezelite esp32 setup page

1. Make sure to select Generic/I2S
2. Press Connect to Device
3.  Select the CP2102N device. If not sure unplug usb on ESP32 Board and plug it back in and this list should update with the new USB device you plugged in.
4. Press the connect button.
5. Now Select Install I2S-4MFLASH-16, See second screen shot
6. Select Erase Device checkbox
7. Click the Next Box

It is important for you to keep the page upfront and let it complete as it is loading and takes some time to complete and if in background Chrome can pause the process. This takes about 5 minutes then it writes needed firmware to ESP32. Once done you have to connect via wifi via device and it will showup in your wifi as squeezeliteXXXXX and then the password is squeezelite and this is where you can select your wifi and link it there then in will be available right off your wifi connection. I will add a link to my post to expand this further there but I have not written it yet.

Let me know what you think! Also, any videos may be loud so please turn down before playing!

BTW: This ESP32 via squeezelite does work as a bluetooth device so you can link via bluetooth and not have to use full SqueezeLite Server. Here is how to setup the server if you do want to add Music Assistant and it is capable of linking Spottify playlists and music via Music Assistant.
