I had audio too.

Great work!

Hmm.? There was audio when I viewed it.

BTW, nice job, Doug.

Thanks,

Nice. But no audio present on the video.?

Excellent Doug! ?It might get even more guys
building them, if only for the coolness factor!
I can¡¯t hear any audio on my iPhone for some

I have completed the construction of another Si5351 FS4 replacement using the Adafruit I2C rotary encoder with a voice option to say the selected frequency for the sight impaired. This required considerable refactoring of the sketch. It uses the "talkie" LPC voice using the PWM output of the Nano, a simple filter circuit, and an LM386 amplifier module driving a small internal speaker. The voice is robotic but very understandable. I edited the over one thousand-word vocabulary library to include just the words needed to say the frequency. Since everything is on the I2C bus, it simplifies wiring and the encoder just works. The voice output is optional both in the construction and in the sketch. I will be coming out with a complete documentation package in the coming weeks, including the sketch and FS4 voice library, which I will add to the Drake files section. The rotary encoder and LCD libraries are available in the Arduino IDE. I highly recommend using the I2C rotary encoder, which solves the problem of bad encoders using the Nano GPIO and current rotary library.

Here is a short video clip showing it in operation -?
