no change on INMP441 microphone result

[ebad84]

hi, i'm working with INMP441 microphone on raspberry pi pico, and i connected the microphone by what should it be, but when i run the record_mic_to_sdcard_blocking.py file, the result is not what it supposed to be
so i added a print after while num_sample_bytes_written_to_wav < RECORDING_SIZE_IN_BYTES:
here's the output :

>>> %Run -c $EDITOR_CONTENT
Recording size: 441000 bytes

i checked that if i disconnect INMP441 from wires, what happens. and the output wasn't changed at all. only 10000 was printed on each line.
i don't think the problem should be from sd card

MicroPython v1.20.0 on 2023-04-26; Raspberry Pi Pico with RP2040

thank you and sorry for my poor english🙏

# Purpose: Read audio samples from an I2S microphone and write to SD card
#
# - read 32-bit audio samples from I2S hardware, typically an I2S MEMS Microphone
# - convert 32-bit samples to specified bit size
# - write samples to a SD card file in WAV format
# - samples will be continuously written to the WAV file
#   until a keyboard interrupt (ctrl-c) is detected
#
# Blocking version
# - the readinto() method blocks until
#   the supplied buffer is filled

Could someone please help me in solving my problem?
I'm trying to create a wake word detection using MicroPython, with inmp441. Is there anyone who can assist me in resolving this issue?

[jimtal001]

Hello ebad84,

Did you find the solution to this issue? If so, please share it with us. Thanks!

[jimtal001]

OK, I see that you are printing the wrong variable. I believe you need to print: mic_samples_mv.
num_bytes_read_from_mic will always be a constant value.

[ebad84]

@jimtal001 I tried every variable that I could, no change on output
Also I tried an arduino script and it worked pretty well. If you want I can send it
Have you succeeded in it?

[jimtal001]

I will be experimenting over the next few days if I have good results I will let you know.
