Welcome to a new Voltlog today we are taking a closer look at this inexpensive speech synthesis module. The part number is XFS5152CE and we do find a datasheet for this chip but unfortunately it is all in Chinese. The datasheet contains schematic examples, they show you how to wire a microphone pre-amp, how to wire an audio amplifier, they also give you some code examples but most of the text is in Chinese.
I found this online doc translator service which worked surprisingly well, it translated my document and kept most of the formatting intact. So now I have a translated datasheet which I will link in the description below and I will also place a link to places where you can buy this module and also where you can buy just the chip.
- Get the XFS5152CE module: Aliexpress, Banggood, Ebay.
- Get just the chip XFS5152CE.
- 5W audio amp module PAM8406.
- XFS5152CE demo code for Arduino.
- XFS5152CE datasheet: Chinese, English.
Good evening
I recently purchased a similar module (Gravity: Speech Synthesis Module V2.0)
Whilst the data sheet is quiet about the speech engine it uses the exact same commands as the XFS5152 so I assume it is based on it.
The module works ok (I use the I2C interface) but at times it get « stuck » and keeps providing 0xEF as return and stops generating sounds.
Do you have any information about the return codes, what they mean and how to cure them?
