Certainly! The AvocAudio project is a compact, multifunctional board designed primarily for tiny Machine Learning (tinyML) applications focused on audio data collection. The project integrates several components to achieve flexible, efficient data collection and wireless communication. Let's break down the key aspects and components of this project:
Key Features and Overall Description
  • Microcontroller: Raspberry Pi RP2040 serves as the core processing unit.
  • Connectivity: The board integrates a LoRa-E5 LoRaWAN Transceiver Module for long-range wireless communication.
  • Data Storage: It includes an SD card slot for local data storage.
  • Power: Designed to run on solar power or a lithium-ion battery, providing flexibility in power sources and ensuring efficient energy use.
Major Modules and Components Power Management
  • Power Nets: Includes nets such as +3V3, VUSB, VBAT, and VSOLAR for managing different voltage levels and power sources.
Microcontroller and Associated Components
  • RP2040 Module1 (RP2040): Handles processing with multiple GPIO pins connected to different components such as sensors, SD card, and LoRa module.
LoRaWAN Module
  • LoRa-E5 (U6): Wireless transceiver module for LoRaWAN communication. Key connections are LORA_RX, LORA_TX, and LORA_NRST, facilitating data transmission and control signals.
Sensors and Peripherals
  • Temperature and Humidity Sensor (DHT11 or DHT22): Connected for environmental data collection.
  • Microphone (MK1): For collecting audio data, connected via pins like WS, SELECT, BCLK, VDD, and DATA_OUT.
  • SD Card Interface (J1): For local data storage, connected through various GPIO pins.
Key Connections
  • Power Connections:
    • Connect C20:P1 to +3V3:P1
    • Connect MK1:VDD to +3V3
    • Connect C20:P2 to GND
    • Connect RP2040:GND to GND
  • LoRa Module (U6):
    • Connect RP2040:GPIO0 to LORA_RX
    • Connect RP2040:GPIO1 to LORA_TX
    • Connect RP2040:GPIO12 to LORA_NRST
  • Microphone (MK1):
    • Connect RP2040:GPIO10 to MIC_SDA
    • Connect RP2040:GPIO18 to MIC_WS
    • Connect MK1:VDD and MK1:GND for power and ground
  • SD Card (J1):
    • Connect RP2040:GPIO18 to SD_CMD
    • Connect RP2040:GPIO19 to SD_DATA0
    • Connect RP2040:GPIO21 to SD_DATA2
    • Connect RP2040:GPIO22 to SD_DATA3
Additional Notes and Constraints
  • The project has several design constraints and layout notes to ensure proper functionality:
    • C11 Capacitors: Should be placed close to pin 45 of the RP2040 to minimize noise.
    • RF Filter Capacitors (C27): Should be closest to the microphone to filter out unwanted frequencies.
    • One-Wire Protocol: Relies on a pull-up resistor when not actively transmitting. Essential for some of the sensor communication.
Final Thoughts
This project is well-suited for TinyML applications with an emphasis on low power consumption, thanks to its solar power and battery options. The integration of components like the LoRaWAN transceiver and SD card slot allows for real-time data collection and remote data transmission, making it ideal for remote monitoring applications.
