on
  sle118 , one of the main developers of SqueezeESP32 (aka Squezzelite-ESP32) has concentrated over the past of weeks on reworking the build system, paving the way to a full integration with the esp-web-tools. Which allows flashing a complete set of binaires from the web browser. The current state of the web browser based firmware installer is just from the look and feel still very simplified, but it's up to date with the latest firmware builds and easy to use. This is another important step to make ESP32 WROVER based music players even more accessible to the general public. Minimum requirements: Web Browser: Chromium based like Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge OS: Windows, macOS, ... Driver: Make sure you have the right USB/Serial drivers installed like: CP2102 CH341 Web firmware installer: https://sle118.github.io/squeezelite-esp32-installer/

Review: ESP MUSE Mn Cast - part#2

on

Pictures often speak a thousand words!



This is the second additional part to the review of the ESP Muse Mn Cast from raspiaudio, since I have now also received my white unit. First of all, the main problems I had with my black player, I could not reproduce for the most part. Therefore, there seems to be no general quality issue. Here is a statement from raspiaudio about my review (part#1).

@cOOLio thanks for your super precise review!
To answer to some of your questions :
  • Black screen connector was hand re-worked on this batch because it was 3mm higher than the specification, so it was not fitting into the case anymore, althought it does not affect useability it will be fixed on the the production batch.
  • The choice to leave a microphone extension port is for my secret plan to one day have the Home Assistant working as an open source vocal assitant.
  • The IR and SD costs almost nothing to implement, and it could be usefull in some application other than Squeezelite, but I agree you only see SD on the cheapest mp3 players.





All's well that ends well
