Grove - Analog Microphone
The Grove - Analog Microphone is a based on high-performance SiSonic MEMS technology, offering an extremely-low-noise, low-current, reliable, and small microphone to opensource hardware industry, and it has improved performance under severe conditions.
Grove - Analog Microphone is an ideal choice of sound sensors where excellent audio performance is required. It can provide up to 20dB of gain and it also features low current, max RF protection, which makes it a perfect microphone for Arduino and Raspberry Pi. Our featured product ReSpeaker Core v2.0 also adopts MEMS technology and the same microphone as Grove - Analog Microphone does. If you are going to get a fancy microphone, here is the choice.
Features
- High-performance SiSonic MEMS technology
- Extremely-low-noise, low-current, and reliable
- Compact and elegant design
danger
This sound sensor is used to detect whether there's sound surround or not, please don't use the module to collect sound signal. For example, you can use it to make a sound control lamp, but not as a recording device.
Applications
- Sound sensor
- Collecting of sound signal
- Voice recognition
- Recording

caution
The platforms mentioned above as supported is/are an indication of the module's software or theoritical compatibility. We only provide software library or code examples for Arduino platform in most cases. It is not possible to provide software library / demo code for all possible MCU platforms. Hence, users have to write their own software library.
Getting Started
note
If this is the first time you work with Arduino, we firmly recommend you to see [Getting Started with Arduino](https://wiki.seeedstudio.com/Getting_Started_with_Arduino/) before the start.

- Step 1. Connect Grove-Sound Sensor to port A0 of Grove-Base Shield.
- Step 2. Plug Grove - Base Shield into Seeeduino and connect Seeeduino to PC via a USB cable.
note
If we don't have Grove Base Shield, We also can directly connect Grove-Sound Sensor to Seeeduino as below.
| Seeeduino | Grove-Sound Sensor |
|---|---|
| 5V | Red |
| GND | Black |
| A1 | White |
| A0 | Yellow |
Software
- Step 1. Please copy below code to Arduio IDE and upload to arduino. If you do not know how to upload the code, please check how to upload code.
/*
Analog input, analog output, serial output
Reads an analog input pin, maps the result to a range from 0 to 255 and uses
the result to set the pulse width modulation (PWM) of an output pin.
Also prints the results to the Serial Monitor.
*/
// These constants won't change. They're used to give names to the pins used:
const int analogInPin = A0; // Analog input pin that the potentiometer is attached to
const int analogOutPin = 9; // Analog output pin that the LED is attached to
int sensorValue = 0; // value read from the pot
int outputValue = 0; // value output to the PWM (analog out)
void setup() {
Serial.begin(9600); // initialize serial communications at 9600 bps
}
void loop() {
sensorValue = analogRead(analogInPin); // read the analog in value
outputValue = map(sensorValue, 0, 1023, 0, 255); // map it to the range of the analog out
analogWrite(analogOutPin, outputValue); // change the analog out value
Serial.println(outputValue); // print the results to the Serial Monitor
// wait 2 milliseconds before the next loop for the analog-to-digital
// converter to settle after the last reading:
delay(2);
}
- Step 2. Click on Serial > Plotter to get the changing curve of the sensor. Please make a noise to view the change of the value.
