Added remote debugging/monitoring, helper libraries for power relay/DAC reset, volume control pot (both motorised and non-motorised) and also includes common events such as lock acquisition and automute detection to make writing custom implementations easy.

https://github.com/possum64/BuffaloDAC

Below is all the code you need to implement a dual mono setup with volume control and lock detection:

// Arduino analog pins
const byte VOL_ANALOG_INPUT_PIN = 0;

// Arduino digital pins
const byte POWER_RELAY = 3;
const byte DAC_RESET = 13;

#define NO_OF_ES9028_DACS 2
ES9028 leftDAC = ES9028("Left Channel", ES9028::MonoLeft);
ES9028 rightDAC = ES9028("Right Channel", ES9028::MonoRight);
ES9028 es9028dacs[NO_OF_ES9028_DACS] = {leftDAC, rightDAC};
DACControl dacCtrl = DACControl(es9028dacs, NO_OF_ES9028_DACS);
DACVolumeControl dacVolCtrl = DACVolumeControl(&dacCtrl, VOL_ANALOG_INPUT_PIN);

bool configDAC(ES9028* dac)
{
dac->mute();
dac->setSerialBits(ES9028::Bits_24);
dac->setInputSelect(ES9028::InputSelect_SPDIF);
dac->setAutoSelect(ES9028::AutoSelect_Disable);
dac->setFilterShape(ES9028::Filter_Hybrid);
dac->setAutoMute(ES9028::AutoMute_MuteAndRampToGnd);
dac->setAutomuteTime(100);
dac->setGPIO1(ES9028::GPIO_Automute);
dac->setGPIO2(ES9028::GPIO_StandardInput);
dac->setGPIO3(ES9028::GPIO_StandardInput);
dac->setGPIO4(ES9028::GPIO_Lock);
dac->setDpllBandwidthSerial(ES9028::DPLL_Lowest);
dac->setVolumeMode(ES9028::Volume_UseChannel1);
dac->setAttenuation(25);
return true;
}

void eventLocked()
{
digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, true); // turn the LED on if both DACs locked
}

void eventNoLock()
{
digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, false); // turn the LED off if either DAC not locked
}

void setup() {
// initialize digital pin LED_BUILTIN as the DAC lock light.
pinMode(LED_BUILTIN, OUTPUT);
dacCtrl.initES9028(configDAC);
dacCtrl.setPinPowerRelay(POWER_RELAY);
dacCtrl.setPinDACReset(DAC_RESET);
dacCtrl.onLock(eventLocked);
dacCtrl.onNoLock(eventNoLock);

dacCtrl.powerOn();
}

void loop() {
dacCtrl.loop();
dacVolCtrl.loop();
delay(10);
}

You added volume control using motorised pot. excellent!
I think i'll have to to give this a go on an 8-channel ES9038 board.
Strangely i see replies against the other post about 8-channel BIII replacement were deleted??

Motorised pot is as easy as:

// specify pins for motorised pot
DACVolumeControl dacVolCtrl = DACVolumeControl(&dacCtrl, VOL_ANALOG_INPUT_PIN, VOL_MOTOR_PIN1, VOL_MOTOR_PIN2);

I've used it with a 10K Alpine motorised pot modded to give 5K

I also have an infrared control library and miniSHARC control

That's very helpful. Thanks for making your work available in the community.

Infrared library - works with apple remote?
Modded potentiometer - out of interest, why modded to 5k? I've always assumed the BIII converts the linear profile to log internally.
I am using miniSHARC so this is also of interest.


I'll need to check out the code.
Thanks!

"Infrared library - works with apple remote?"

I haven't updated it for awhile - was doing some IR stuff recently and noticed the IR Remote lib has been significantly updated for more modern devices that use both an IR address and code - so may need a refresh


I tested volume code with the 5K pot from TP. Alpine pots make 10K stereo which when paralleled make a 5K pot so they were interchangeable - spent a bit of time on the arduino code to get the feel and range right. Its the code that converts from voltage drop across pot to attenuation of DAC. I use bit shifting to do the conversion - which works really nicely with a 5K pot.

I have miniSHARC code that sets its attenuation and selects the config - however, you cannot do this directly with an ESP8266 WiFi board as it cannot act as an I2C slave (like a normal arduino can) - so I use an arduino Nano as a bridge between ESP8266 and miniSHARC

If you get the basics up and running am happy to lend you a hand with getting IR and miniSharc code going for you

PS: I am using MQTT for home automation incl. control of sound system - no need for remotes anymore - just use your phone, tablet, or voice commands to change SHARC config, attenuation, power etc.
