I want to attach a speaker to my microcontroller to generate bleeps and blurps and so on. But I've discovered (to no surprise) that if I connect my speaker directly to the output pin of the MCU, the resulting volume is very low.
So I need a little audio amplifier. I have a circuit for this (thanks again to David Cook), but I'm wondering whether there is a kit (or pre-assembled gizmo) out there that takes care of this for me -- something with a small speaker and the circuitry needed to drive it directly from a 3.3V (or 5V) control signal, ground, and power line. No sense re-inventing the wheel if I can avoid it...
Thanks,
