Tutorial: How to use MAX9814

The MAX9814 module is ideal for recording audio on Arduino, perfect for voice recording or sound projects.

What you need

• Arduino
• Power cable (5V)
• Microcontroller with Wire library
• Electret Microphone
• 10kΩ Resistor (for polarization)
• Connection cable

Steps

1. Check the datasheet for the specifications of the MAX9814.
2. Connect the Electret microphone to the VCC and GND pins of the MAX9814.
3. Connect the VCC pin of the MAX9814 to the 5V power supply of Arduino.
4. Connect the GND pin of the MAX9814 to the GND of Arduino.
5. Connect the OUT pin of the MAX9814 to a digital pin of Arduino.
6. Connect the 10kΩ resistor between the VCC and GND pins of the MAX9814.
7. Upload the source code to Arduino.
8. Test the microphone with a sample sketch.

Example code

void setup() {   Serial.begin(9600);   Wire.begin();   MAX9814.begin(); } void loop() {   int value = MAX9814.read();   Serial.println(value); }

Mini project
