Support libraries, good application notes, and worked examples from a manufacturer can really help speed us on our way in making cool stuff with new parts. Espressif Systems has been doing a good job ...

This application note describes the procedure to port the open source Helix MP3 decoder algorithm onto Microchip’s PIC32MX 32-bit microcontrollers (MCUs). The source code provided with this document ...

Ideas on how to go about the process? I have tried to search for information, but to no avail. Plenty of companies selling decoder libraries, as well as people giving them away for free. But little in ...

We all listen to them, but do you know how the compression for an MP3 file actually works? [Portalfire] wanted to find out, while honing his Python skills at the same time. He’s been working on an MP3 ...

I don't know anything about them, but it could be worth it for some older computers that actually have trouble playing MP3's. However, most newer computers have no problem playing them at all, even ...

This paper explains the decoding of an MPEG 1 bitstream with a dual core architecture model. The bit processing unit (BPU) performs bitstream parsing and Huffman decoding, and acts as master for ...
