Everything you need to build a wireless Bluetooth audio speaker. The kit centres on the ESP32 IoT RedBoard for Bluetooth streaming and the WM8960 Audio Codec for high-quality stereo decoding via I2S. Connect your phone or tablet via Bluetooth, hit play, and listen through the included mini speaker or headphones via the 3.5 mm TRRS breakout.

The WM8960 codec features automatic level control, programmable gain, pop/click suppression, 3D stereo enhancement, and configurable I2S settings via I2C. All boards come with headers pre-soldered for quick breadboard assembly.

Key Features

• Bluetooth Audio Streaming – ESP32 receives audio wirelessly from any BT source
• WM8960 Stereo Codec – High-quality DAC with I2S input, headphone drivers, and speaker output
• Qwiic / I²C Configuration – Configure the codec via software over I²C
