[PD] LibPd on microcontroller

[Peter Nyboer]

It has SPI, no i2s, so that makes the traditional DAC shield impossible. But, USB is cool. You can use the cheepie Cmedia dongles if you want http://www.amazon.com/Sabrent-External-Adapter-Windows-AU-MMSA/dp/B00IRVQ0F8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1462838915&sr=8-1&keywords=usb+audio+interface <http://www.amazon.com/Sabrent-External-Adapter-Windows-AU-MMSA/dp/B00IRVQ0F8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1462838915&sr=8-1&keywords=usb+audio+interface> or a higher quality thing like this http://www.ebay.com/itm/231620915394?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT <http://www.ebay.com/itm/231620915394?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT>
I2C is not really suitable for audio. 
In theory, you could bitbang i2s over GPIO, but you’d be in the weeds in not only building a driver, but probably having timing issues, too.

Now, what would be the best way to interface with ADC/DAC chips? I noticed that CHIP doesn't have SPI. Would I2C be fast enough? I aim for 44.1 kHz/16 bit, but I can also do with less...
