Besides speaker itself and BT receiver, we will need:

To try Bluetooth board in action, we turn this lovely chinese cat loudspeaker into an autonomous bluetooth
speaker with LiPo battery
Besides speaker itself and BT receiver, we will need:
- 3.7V to 5V boost converter;
- 1S LiPo battery. 1250 mAh capacity is pretty enough for more than 6 hours of autonomous work;
- LiPo battery USB charger;
USB powered loudspeaker has very simple schema - it is amplifier circuit, powered by USB.
Audio jack is a signal input and speaker is an output
Audio jack is a signal input and speaker is an output
In our case speaker is inside cat’s body and amplifier is connected to it by wire
Overall power circuit is very simple: LiPo charger is connected in parallel to the battery and converter is connected in serial.

For test we will power speaker from BT board’s USB used for pendrive
Connection to BT board is simple: there is no PIN, BT device name is “Xpecial Audio”
And name cannot be changed...
Also playback can be controlled by onboard buttons. But we will not use this option for now
Complete schema is still very simple.
Besides previous power circuit we added power switch and soldered amplifier channel in
directly to BT receiver
We just put it from the back side of BT board using a piece of duct tape
And a small tip:
Do not set volume of amplifier to maximum. Remember the rule - amplifying a signal you also amplify the noise.
On maximum volume noise is hearable. To reduce it just put volume level for about 50%. It will be still enough for loud music, but with less noise
That's it! Feel free to ask the questions:)
