WAV Trigger Pro - runs a bit hot

Other

Coming back to the Amp, I’d like to share how I solved the setup now:

  1. As base I use the Micromod Mainboard + Teensy processor + the PoE Ethernet board to power-supply everything solely by an Ethernet cable
  2. Along with other Qwiic devices, the Wav Trigger Pro is connected and powered via Qwiic
  3. The Qwiic Amp is connect too via Qwiic (for configuration), but I did not cut JP1, so power supply must happen externally, not via Qwiic. I did this because the other Qwiic devices need a stable power supply and I ran into troubles with loud sounds + other Qwiic devices behaving eratically then
  4. I solderen pins onto the Micromod mainboard VBAT/GND and did not connect a LiPo battery. On VBAT/GND there are 4,2V coming in via the PoE Ethnernet board or via USB. The Amp is powered by this.
  5. The Wav Trigger Pro uses the modified firmware described above with half the clock speed. It stays “touchable” cool and works without problems. I assume it also needs less power because of the lower clock speed.

Everything works nicely and no crashes with that setup.
