Hi @daadu,

What about the ./mic_energy demo ?? It could be easier to see is the microphones are working. Also you can use the micarray_recorder to test mics separately.

Let us know how it was.

#4

I’m sorry.

micarray_recorder is functioning.

but mic_demo gives the same output.

Hi @daadu,

So I asume that if micarray_recorder is working you are getting audio records from the individuals mics. About the mic_demo not working, be aware that this demo require you to do some kind of laud noise like claps or finger snapping to produce a change in the values. For example:

In this example I was clapping.
