Hi,
yes it is possible to use both, because the output of the sound IC is connected to the optical output and the "normal" digital output.
I will write you a PM.
Best Regards
Benjamin

Re: TinyTOSLINK (digital audio output) now for B+, too
Have any left? what would be the price to Australia?
Thanks

Re: TinyTOSLINK (digital audio output) now for B+, too
Hello
Sory for my english, I like to buy your tinytoslink. Can you sell it and send to germany or poland? What will be the price? Or can you send me how to make this board and what elements I need.

Re: TinyTOSLINK (digital audio output) now for B+, too
Hi Benjamin,
I was browsing the Internet in order to find a way to get TOSLINK on the RPI2 and I've found your topic. Can you tell me more about this device by PM (Shipping Price, Price, is it available for Pi2). I live in France.
Thanks a lot for your awesome work !

Re: TinyTOSLINK (digital audio output) now for B+, too
Hi Midask,
yes it is for the RPi2 but should also work for others which have the same layout/pinout (B+, RPi3).
For the RPi3 you need a different (smaller) optical connector, because of the WLAN antenna which is mounted there.
I will send you a PM.

Re: TinyTOSLINK (digital audio output) now for B+, too
Hi All,
Did anyone try to use BenjaminKe's or [IDC]Dragon's board on Raspberry Pi 2 B with Raspbian Jessie? I'm having trouble with getting it to work. I don't want to use OpenELEC nor any other distro - I prefer to make it working on clean Raspbian.
I added HiFi Berry to device tree and disabled default audio card in /boot/config.txt:
#dtparam=audio=on
dtoverlay=hifiberry-digi
I see HiFi Berry in aplay:
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ aplay -l
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: sndrpihifiberry [snd_rpi_hifiberry_digi], device 0: HifiBerry Digi HiFi wm8804-spdif-0 []
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
When I play flac file with mplayer over hdmi it is ok. But when I disable on-board sound and load HiFi Berry mplayer plays file but my AMP does not see digital signal on input. I don't have oscilloscope at home to check if anything is transmitted. But anyway I think it migth be raspbian configuration issue. dmesg show this output:

Anyone have an idea how to debug it further?

Re: TinyTOSLINK (digital audio output) now for B+, too
Hi Benjamin,
I'm wondering, do you still have some parts left? Unfortunately I also came across this thread just now. I highly appreciate your efforts. Kudos to Jörg and all the others involved!

hi jorg are you still selling these toslink hats
just purchased a pi 3

Re: TinyTOSLINK (digital audio output) now for B+, too
Hi Jörg,
Thanks in advance!
Just curious, what's the status of your reconsiderations? While the alternative designs of Benjamin et al are very nice in their own right, your concept still seems to be the most elegant solution so far. Thus I wonder whether you might eventually publish the details? I read your opinion on DIY-etching but some of us might have access to suitable facilities to get it done right. I'd love to give it a shot.[IDC]Dragon wrote: So far I've published boards and schematics of all my creations, but with TinyTOSLINK I was hesitant, since there is Hifiberry Digi.
[...]
Now that the hardware design is kind of public, I'm reconsidering.
Thanks in advance!
Re: TinyTOSLINK (digital audio output) now for B+, too
Hi BenjaminKe
Thanks for your awesome work. I have been looking for nice digital audio output for a long time.
If you have any left I would like to buy one.
Pls sent me pm or contact me via e-mail: zadarr@gmail.com

Re: TinyTOSLINK (digital audio output) now for B+, too
Hi Benjamin,
I received the board today, that's quick to Australia.
I got to wondering if it would also take an optical input from another device and then out to speakers using a USB DAC?
the board is really quite a quality piece of equipment.
Thanks
Dave

Re: TinyTOSLINK (digital audio output) now for B+, too
dmorts:
I wrote you a PM.
Dave:
The WM8804 chip has an input and and output.
So theoretically it is possible to use it also as input and capture a optical signal (there is a not assembled pinhead connector with 2 pins on the PCB - with a 0 ohm resistor you can connect one of these 2 pins to the input and connect your optical receiver here).
But I don't know if there is some support from the HifiBerry software for something.

Benjamin

Re: TinyTOSLINK (digital audio output) now for B+, too
Hi Benjamin, if at all possible I'd love to take one or two of these off your hands as well
Board+parts would be fine, I don't mind soldering a little from time to time. Thanks!
EDIT: And a big thank you to Jörg too of course

Hi Ben,
Im interested in your board to be used as a TOSLINK input. According to this: https://support.hifiberry.com/hc/en-us/ ... ital-input it may work.
Can you PM me if you have boards left?
