I am following the instruction to setup a microphone with an esp32 with arduino cli.

Here is the tutorial

As pointed out in the video (timestamp 14:30 to 15:05), it seems that some functions of the I2S library were downgraded. And, indeed, when I compile the code, I get the following error message:

/Users/me/Documents/cs/microcontrollers/ESP32/microphone/microphone.ino: In function 'void i2s_install()':
/Users/me/Documents/cs/microcontrollers/ESP32/microphone/microphone.ino:33:47: error: 'I2S_COMM_FORMAT_STAND_I2S' was not declared in this scope
     .communication_format = i2s_comm_format_t(I2S_COMM_FORMAT_STAND_I2S),
                                               ^

Error during build: exit status 1

Here is the code:

  delay(1000);

  i2s_install();

  // Get I2S data and place in data buffer
  size_t bytesIn = 0;
  esp_err_t result = i2s_read(I2S_PORT, &sBuffer, bufferLen, &bytesIn, portMAX_DELAY);

  if (result == ESP_OK)
  {
    // Read I2S data buffer
    int16_t samples_read = bytesIn / 8;
    if (samples_read > 0) {
      float mean = 0;
      for (int16_t i = 0; i < samples_read; ++i) {
        mean += (sBuffer[i]);
      }

      // Average the data reading
      mean /= samples_read;

      // Print to serial plotter
      Serial.println(mean);
    }
  }
}

I also tried to install the I2S library with:

arduino-cli lib install I2S

but got the following error message:

Error installing I2S: Library 'I2S' not found

How can I solve the problem?

EDIT 1

After the comments I tried to Upgrade the ESP32 package. For this I went to Tools -> Boards -> Board Manager, typed ESP32 and got the following window:

enter image description here

It seems to me that I cannot upgrade beyond version 1.0.6 (under Arduino IDE 1.8.19)

What am I doing wrong?

EDIT 2 Ok I followed the installation instruction on the espressif website and it worked

  • It is not that the library has been downgraded, the message shows that you had very old version of ESP32-Arduino package installed (1.0.6), the current version is 2.0.8.. Goto Tools -> Boards -> Board Manager to upgrade your ESP32 package. You don't need to manually install driver/i2s.h as it is part of the esp-idf as the foundation of Arduino ESP32 Core.
