Speaker On Ez-B Iotiny

Hey guys...I just found out how organized the "Requiring Technical Assistance" section got! Really tight!:D

Also the tutorials got so detailed, it's kind of cool that you are advised to check once more, before asking for assistance! There were a ton of updates since I looked at them for the last time! Good work!;)

Well I hope I did not miss anything, but my EZ-B IoTiny finally got thru customs today, and I am super happy with it but also it instantly came to my mind if it is possible to either connect another speaker to it than the one being shipped along, or if anyone ever tried to amplify the signal to get a stronger audio output?

Thanks in advance...:D

Well I hope I am halfway, hehe! It really takes a lot longer than you think...a year ago I was like...Well I am just gonna build me a robot real fast! :D

Now a year and building a 3d printer later I am telling you that I am halfway, lets see how good my estimation turns out to be this time! ;)

For reference sake, any 8ohm speaker or 2 x 16 ohm speakers in parallel or 2 x 4 ohm speakers in series will work. The amplifier on the EZ-Bv4 and the IoTiny is designed for an 8 ohm load. A 16 ohm speaker by itself will work but the volume will be much lower. Also note that you'll want your speaker rated for 0.3W or higher as the amplifier can push out 0.3W. Most small 8 ohm computer speakers are rated 0.5W so it's usually a non-issue.

@Jeremie thanks for the additional info...good to know, so if there is any weird drop in volume I will know where to look for a mistake!;)
