I want to setup a SparkFun Edge out in the field and record audio over an extended period of time - from a time period of a few days to a week.
What Sparkfun breakout boards would be compatible with the edge for storage?
Would it also be possible to send the audio over serial to a Raspberry PI?
Hi Dan.
I don’t know of a product we currently carry that you could connect to the Edge and easily save audio data. You could potentially send low bitrate audio via serial to a Pi, but there are probably better options for this.
Since you already have a Pi, it might be easier to use that to record and store audio recordings. A [USB microphone and a thumb drive would do the trick. All you’d need is a bit of software running on the Pi to receive audio from the mic and save it to a file on the thumb drive. [This tutorial might be helpful for that.
It’s not available yet, but there is an upcoming product that might work. I don’t have a time table for when that will be available or any other details but if the Pi option doesn’t work, stay tuned to the website on Fridays for a possible solution. :-)](Recording Audio on the Raspberry Pi with Python and a USB Microphone — Maker Portal)](https://www.sparkfun.com/products/14125)
