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
- Check the datasheet for the specifications of the MAX9814.
- Connect the Electret microphone to the VCC and GND pins of the MAX9814.
- Connect the VCC pin of the MAX9814 to the 5V power supply of Arduino.
- Connect the GND pin of the MAX9814 to the GND of Arduino.
- Connect the OUT pin of the MAX9814 to a digital pin of Arduino.
- Connect the 10kΩ resistor between the VCC and GND pins of the MAX9814.
- Upload the source code to Arduino.
- 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
Create a simple voice recorder with Arduino and MAX9814.
Common mistakes
