Goals
- Develop a module based on the ESP32, designed to read audio tracks stored on an SD card and to transmit them through a speaker output. Users should be able to adjust the parameters of these audio tracks, such as volume and balance, via an intuitive and easily accessible web interface. Furthermore, control over the tracks and playback settings via UDP signals is essential. This interface will provide users with the opportunity to customize their listening experience and adjust settings to their preferences. It will also ensure quick and efficient communication with the module through the UDP protocol. In addition, effective battery management is crucial to ensure the module's durability and optimal performance.

Questions
How big is the Way To Silence PCB?
It measures 59.3 × 38.1 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Way To Silence use?
67 parts, built around the CP2102-GMR, ESP32-WROOM-32-N16, MAX98357AETE+T and AMS1117CD-3.3. 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 Way To Silence KiCad files?
From the juthomas/Way-To-Silence repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Way to silence/Way to silence.kicad_pcb and its schematic Way to silence/I2SAmp.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Way To Silence design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask juthomas before reusing the design.
