Circuit Documentation

Summary

This circuit is designed to interface a Raspberry Pi 5 with various audio components to create an audio processing and output system. It includes digital-to-analog converters (DACs), amplifiers, and loudspeakers to output audio. The Raspberry Pi 5 serves as the central processing unit, controlling the flow of digital audio data through I2S communication to the DACs, which then convert the digital signals into analog signals. These analog signals are amplified by the PAM8302 amplifiers and output through the loudspeakers.
