hi, i'll put it in a thread to save clogging main channel. which board was it that you got ?
modern flower
I got the ESP32 N8R2 board which suppose to have 2 MB PSRAM.
Now I am not sure, if the seller sent me a worng board. Because I have the number P2N8 on it. I asked the seller but unfortunelty he/she is not replying. So searched the internet and found some more folks with the same number.
woeful chasm
do you have a picture or link to the board?
modern flower
Yes I do.
this is the link I brought it from : https://probots.co.in/esp32-s3-devkitc-1-development-board-wireless-module-wifi-bluetooth.html
and this is the image of the board
https://ibb.co/89B1JFW
woeful chasm
try getting logs over serial using the port marked USB
modern flower
Do you mean using web.esphome.io ?
woeful chasm
yyes that should be fine, once the logs page is open. click 'reset device'
modern flower
ok.. let me try that.

I keep getting this log in a loop.
woeful chasm
try changing this to qio
platformio_options:
board_build.flash_mode: dio
I think I found something I dint add to my config.
i dint add exactly this before compiling my last build.
Apparently I pasted this config but dint compile it.
let me try that first.
woeful chasm
ok 🙂
woeful chasm
🥳
modern flower
finally after nearly 4 hours its connected.
woeful chasm
nightmare!
modern flower
Indeed 😄.. but finally I moved forward.
I still have to test the wake word .. but can check it tomorrow after doing all the connections.
woeful chasm
does it show PSRAM enabled in the purple part of the logs when setting up components?
modern flower
Just get more information.
What was the platformio_options so important for it.
Let me check that..

Ohh you mean like this?
I have frankenstien setup right now.. 😄 As I am at my home town.
My HA server is in Germany, but I am accessing it remotely to do all my compilation.
So can't use that over wifi feature.
But I added the server config, but I dont see any logs there.
I mean the webserver config to my yaml code, but I think I loose most of the initial logs before I can access it.
woeful chasm
try changing logger to
logger:
hardware_uart: 0
that may give you the esphome logs but you need to connect to usb port not com port
modern flower
ok.. let me try this.
woeful chasm
the labelling on the board is a little back to front from what you would expect
modern flower
its give me an error for this.
I changed it to
logger:
hardware_uart: UART0
also a side note, in order to get the addressable led to work, if it isnt . then there are 2 tiny pads on the board next to the led that need to be bridged. also the same for 5v output from 5v pin, there is also a pair of pads that have to be bridged if you want 5v output from the pins when connected to usb
modern flower
The led is working fine..
woeful chasm
its give me an error for this.
I changed it to
```
logger:
hardware_uart: UA...
sorry yes, my bad trying to remember off the top of my head lol
modern flower
I was able to turn it on and off using the web server page.
So now I am waiting for this to compile.
woeful chasm
cool thats good then, i know on other boards of the same design that its needed
yes the compile with micro wake word is quite a long one
modern flower
Also did you face any problems with flashing the binary using ESPHome from a mac m1 or m2 machine?
I initially could not get it flash the binary. I then searched about why it was not flashing and some mentioned ESP32 S3 have some problems while being flashed from M series mac .
woeful chasm
I haven't come across that problem, and haven't got a mac myself so i don't know about that one.
these are the pads if you want 5v out for anything
modern flower
ohh good to know.
Does this mean when I use the MAX98357A for the audio amplifier, which needs 5v.. I need to connect these pads? or is to provide 5v while using it using the USB port?
woeful chasm
yes if you want to connect the max to the 5v pin then you need to join those 2 pads together. otherwise the 5v pin will only operate as an input
modern flower
Ohh. I was not aware about this too.
Thanks for giving me a heads up.
woeful chasm
you're welcome, it caught me out for a while
modern flower
you're welcome, it caught me out for a while
You defintely saved me some hours of debugging 😄

brilliant and theres the 2mb PSRAM so all is good 👍
modern flower
Yes.. Thanks a lot for this.
woeful chasm
no problem , happy to help
modern flower
I still have to check after connecting the microphone and the max if all is working fine.
but will call it a night anc check tomorrow.
But thanks a lot for all the help.
My 4 hours dint go to waste. 😄.
Good outcome atleast.
woeful chasm
absolutley ... good luck with the rest of the build. feel free to ping me if you need any info 👍
modern flower
Sure, Will share my updates on this thread. So other can also use it to create theirs devices.
See you untill next time 🙂
modern flower
Hey @woeful chasm ,
Today I was trying to connect the INMP441 microphone.
This is the last configuration I compiled and added to the ESP32S3 .
https://pastebin.com/GwE6GN34
I also configured a pipeline with whisper and piper. ( no wake word config)
Then connected the ESP32S3 in homeassistant and set the pipeline in it.
I tried testing it, but the micro wake word is not getting picked up by the microphone.
What would be the problem do you think?
I am not getting any logs on the console.
I tried using mute and unmute and these are the logs I got.
woeful chasm
I tried using mute and unmute and these are the logs I got.
Hi , do you have the lr pin on the mic connected to gnd?
woeful chasm
yeah , that all looks good and the config. in order for micro wake word to function it doesn't even rely on the pipeline so it should just work. i would check wiring again and test for continuity between the esp and the mic, also check voltage at mic is 3.3v
when you say the wakeword it should register in the ESPHome logs for the device
modern flower
ok.. let me try.
I had added web_server config to it.. do you think it could cause any problems?
woeful chasm
it can cause issues , for troubleshooting i would remove it
what version of ESPHome are you running ?
woeful chasm
yes I know there have been some enhancments made in 2024.3.0 but I haven't got around to testing anything on the release yet... i've been stuck on a different project for a couple of weeks. so am falling behind 🙃
modern flower
😄.. Can understand that.
modern flower
So I tried removing the web_server config.
then also updated esphome to 2024.3 and then in the documentation example.
I saw this .
on_wake_word_detected:
then:
- voice_assistant.start:
wake_word: !lambda return wake_word;
I added that also.. But no luck. 😐
it must be related to the microphone itself i feel.
woeful chasm
i'll quickly solder some wires and test it with your config ...see what happens for me
modern flower
ok. no hurry..
woeful chasm
ok done and compiling
modern flower
🤞
woeful chasm
forgot cant compile from command line with micro ww ... so started again from dash 🙂
modern flower
ohh ok 🙂
woeful chasm
i could have been a less than 5 minute build lol ... no records broken today
modern flower
😄 It take a bit of time.. but as long as it works.
woeful chasm
ok thats not working for me either, i will have a play now and keep you updated 👍
ok was my error, had wires wrong way ... yes it works..
modern flower
ohh nice.
woeful chasm
so config is deffo ok
woeful chasm
i used a slightly different version of s3 n16r8 but still a standard dev ... just because it was the 1 infront of me ... but i can swap it over 🙂
modern flower
and first pin on the right markeed as gnd for ground.
ahh no no..
dont have to take the trouble of doing that.
it works so I have figure out what wrong with my connection or with the microphone.
modern flower
I think somehting is wrong on my side.
I remeber 2 days back when you had asked me to add the logger for hardware_UART .. I was able to see the purple color log specifying the PSRAM .
Today I dont see the logs anymore.
woeful chasm
not even on wireless?
modern flower
Yes.. not even wireless.
I still have the logger config..
connected to the laptop using USB port and not COM port
woeful chasm
thats strange, is it the same if you disconnect everything ? so it's just the bare board
woeful chasm
does it give you the initial bootloader whne viweing them over usb ?
swapped to this board and works too
modern flower
this is the log I get in green

ok just noticed although it is working that PSRAM isn't enabling as it is set to quad in the config, these boards need octal. whether that will make a difference. you will need to re-flash over serial
also just tested and try getting the logs using com as i think the hardware_uart will enable that port for logs, i just tried and i now get full logs on com labelled port 🤦♂️
modern flower
ok . let me try that.
I am now using this site https://esp.huhn.me/ to erase the flash once.
and try again.
ohh so I dont need to change from COM to USB port.
Right now I am trying to reflash the initial config that I shared with you.
then Ill try with octal mode for PSRAM.
The initial purple log is back.
Not yet change the config to use octal .. still on quad.
let me connect the microphone now.
I connected the microphone.. No luck yet.
I see a warning saying "wake word is already running".
let me now try with octal mode.
woeful chasm
that warning is fine i get that 🙂 did you re-power after connecting the mic?
modern flower
Yes. I turned it off.. then connected the mic and then commected the power back again..
modern flower
Hey,
Sorry I had to go out for some work.
I am back now.. I'll try with octal now.
Also just a thing that struct me, octal means 8, and quad means 4, so was this config with 80Mhz wrong?
speed: 80MHz
Would it have been 40Mhz .. Just something I thought while I was out.
woeful chasm
i believe that quad & octal are the type of spi connection that the ram chip has to the ESP chip , and the 80mhz is the actual speed of the ram i may be wrong but that is my understanding
modern flower
This time with the change to "octal" gave me this error
E (370) opi psram: PSRAM ID read error: 0x00000000, PSRAM chip not found or not supported, or wrong PSRAM line mode
E (374) spiram: SPI RAM enabled but initialization failed. Bailing out.
And this in the purple logs
[C][psram:020]: PSRAM:
[C][psram:021]: Available: NO
and with quad did it show as available?
ah yes, sorry my bad again , this is a 2mb PSRAM isn't it ... doh!
modern flower
Yes it did show up with quad.
No Issues.
Since this config worked with your ESP32 S3 board, then its related to the microphone.
woeful chasm
yes, certainly something related to the mic, it's unusual for them to be faulty
modern flower
ah yes, sorry my bad again , this is a 2mb PSRAM isn't it ... doh!
Yes. its 2 mb.. so its should be quad .. according to this https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp-idf/en/stable/esp32s3/hw-reference/esp32s3/user-guide-devkitc-1.html#ordering-information
modern flower
yes, certainly something related to the mic, it's unusual for them to be faulty
Yes.. Usually they are not.
modern flower
Hey @woeful chasm ,
Some good news.
It works!! 😃
The problem was with the microphone itself. I bought a new one and also found that my jumper cables were too long. (20cm)
I cut it short and used a new microphone and its working all fine.
woeful chasm
👍 great news, hope the video does well
modern flower
Yes 😄 ..Thanks a lot for all the help @woeful chasm .
modern flower
Hey @woeful chasm ,
I published my video a while ago . Here is the link to it. https://youtu.be/rT_q0g8dtmY
and also a blog post containing all the information: https://smarthomecircle.com/How-to-setup-on-device-wake-word-for-voice-assistant-home-assistant
Hope it helps others too. 🙂
woeful chasm
hi there, yes... I have watched 👍 and helped a few people that were inspired by your video ... so you're getting some views for sure! good work buddy! .. i will have to take a look at the blog. thanks for the update and the shout out 🙂
modern flower
Actually thanks to you for helping me to get it working. 😄
