Streaming audio

[gloomyandy]

Folks,
as a result of this thread:
viewtopic.php?t=1813

I put together some code to allow streaming of audio to the NXT over USB and Bluetooth. Here is a quick clip of the program running:

The required audio functions should be available in the next release of leJOS and if people are interested I may add the NXT and PC programs as samples to the release...

Hi, I would like to see this code in samples.

I checked code from svn but it's not there yet.

thats awesome! I always thought it would be fantastic to be able to use the NXT as a remote stereo controller; I even brought my NXT to school with me with that in mind. (Right, we all know how much free time there is when in school.) So of course the next steps are of course waveform graphs on the screen, live mp3 decoding, and a physical audio jack to control speakers, right?

Cheers!

PS. great song choice.

Hi Andy,

Could you post the code for this? I'd really like to see it. Or is it already in the samples and I just missed it?

hi andy,

i'd be really interested in your sample as well, thought about programming it too but i google'd it and found this thread.
thanks in advance!

Unfortunately I no longer have that code. It was very simple though I based it on a combination of the BTSend and BTReceive sample programs. On the PC side the code simply connects to the NXT, opens the sound file and reads blocks of data from it (can't remember the buffer size I used, possible 4K), and then writes them to the NXT as fast as possible. On the NXT the code accepts the connection and then reads data blocks from it writing the data as queued samples to the sound device... I seem to remember that I used the low level read/write (from NXtConnection) calls rather than a data stream, and you may have to fine tune the buffer sizes used...

Good luck

Andy
