Now I just realized you did everything with 32 bit integer math. I'll forget about audio synthesis on ESP8266 and rather check out the CHIP.
you're not so crazy after all!
Thanks so far!

Hi,
I've read your mail, it actually was the key source of inspiration for trying out DSP on a microcontroller!
in fact, I did not recommend audio processing on hardware that did not have support for float arithmetic. (only me or crazy nerd do that).
I might be crazy as well then :-). I just wanna give it a try and see how far I'll get. I'm just excited about the low price of these modules, given their rather fast speed (and of course the integrated WiFi functionality!). I'm dreaming of tiny effect/sound modules that do a certain DSP job and receive/send messages via WiFi.
a micro controller to use is for example the cortex M4. You can find them on the teensy hardware.
Apparantly the Teensy 3.x uses the non-FPU version of the cortex M4: https://forum.pjrc.com/threads/25909-Teensy3-1-and-FPU-%28Floating-Poitn-Uni...
Right now I can't see any advantage over the ESP8266. Also it costs about 4 times as much!
Some guy made a benchmark test between ESP8266, Teensy 3.1 and Arduino Due: http://forum.arduino.cc/index.php?topic=337653.0
The ESP8266 wins for floating points (and loses clearly for integers).
Since you got DSP stuff working on an Arduino Due, it should also work on an ESP8266, I guess... But it's my task to find out.
By the way, what kind of interface did you actually choose for the audio output and have you tried several methods?
Thanks for sharing your experience!

hello,
I recently send a mail in this list describing my experience of audio synthesis on microcontroler, but i did not use libpd.
i did not recommend libpd for microcontrolers.
in fact, I did not recommend audio processing on hardware that did not have support for float arithmetic. (only me or crazy nerd do that).
a micro controller to use is for example the cortex M4. You can find them on the teensy hardware. teensy also provide a audio synthesis library, and is supported by arduino IDE.
You can also have a look at the heavy compiler if you want to embedded a pd patch.

Hi,
has anyone experience in using LibPd on a microcontroller? I wanna try to run some rather basic DSP code on this guy here: https://www.olimex.com/Products/IoT/MOD-WIFI-ESP8266-DEV/open-source-hardwar... There are some existing Arduino/C++ frameworks and I thought I could either write my own small DSP library in C++ or use LibPd.
I understood that LibPd is completely independed of audio drivers and external libraries and since it's plain C code it should work on everything that can run code. However, I have only encountered LibPd in the context of other applications (processing, openFrameworks) and mobile devices so far. Do you think it could work on an ESP8266? I'm also a bit concerned about efficiency, as computation power is rather limited:
"ESP8266EX is embedded with Tensilica L106 32-bit micro controller (MCU), which features extra low power consumption and 16-bit RSIC. The CPU clock speed is 80MHz. It can also reach a maximum value of 160MHz. Real Time Operation System (RTOS) is enabled. Currently, only 20% of MIPS has been occupied by the WiFi stack, the rest can all be used for user application programming and development."
