Sky Star Edition XiaoZhi AI——Ai-WV01-32S

Description

Project Overview

The Sky Star · XiaoZhi AI is an AI application development board built using the LCSC Sky Star GD32F407 as the main controller and the Ai-Thinker Ai-WV01-32S as the AI module.With it, you can let XiaoZhi AI play music, tell stories, tell jokes, and even control the color of LED light strips.

The Sky Star · XiaoZhi AI provides a simple example of using the Ai-WV01-32S XiaoZhi AI MCP to control a microcontroller. Through MCP programming, the AI can control peripherals such as:

• AI-controlled LED
• AI-controlled motor
• AI-controlled volume settings

Key Features

• Full voice interaction: offline voice control + AI conversation
• Quick network provisioning via mini-program
• Emoji display
• Subtitle display
• AI control of WS2812 color adjustments

Hardware Design

The most complex circuit in this project is the OLED driver circuit, which only requires following the specifications provided.

Speaker & Accessories

The speaker used is a 2W 8Ω mobile phone speaker. We created and verified the footprint for it.Purchase link (Taobao):

Touch spring contacts: Recommended height is 2.5–3 mm to ensure proper contact.

Mounting posts: Use M1 PCB nuts. These require heating with a hot air gun for proper soldering.Note: Do not apply too much solder, or the hole may become blocked.

Software Information

This project uses the Ai-WV01-32S, but not the default firmware. Instead, it uses the UART-MCP firmware developed by Ai-Thinker’s open-source team (firmware link provided below).The first step after soldering is flashing the UART-MCP firmware; otherwise, control functions will not work.

Ai-Thinker provides a dedicated adaptation library for UART-MCP: emMCP.It requires only a simple porting process, allowing Sky Star to focus mainly on OLED display and peripheral control logic.
