Arduino shield with two Knowles MEMS microphones (PDM)

This is a ultra-cheap MEMS mic shield for edge AI. The total cost of all the parts is around $10.

Beam forming support

The board is equipped with two MEMS mics, and the distance between mic1 and mic2 is 20mm.

The reason why the distance is 20mm:

  • the distance is good for acoustic event detection.
  • 20mm = 2.54mm * 8, that is, it is suitable for DIP.

Questions

What parts does the Mems mic board use?

9 parts. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.

Where can I download the Mems mic board KiCad files?

From the araobp/acoustic-features repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is kicad/kicad_old/mems_mic_board.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Mems mic board design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the GPL-2.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
