“Awwww this is a BRILLIANT little bit of kit!
I already had a 3W 4Ω speaker like the one that's shown in the photo, and it's the perfect coupling :)
I'm using it in a little robot I've been building — much to my wife's dismay it can now talk :D
It's worth noting that because I used a COM0002 11mm header instead of mounting straight to the Raspberry Pi, I had to solder the header to the SHIM. This is simply because the legs on this header are quite thin and don't make contact with the PCB ;)”
“Works as expected, and there was no issues with the software (Shairport-sync for Airplay). When I first started, no sound came out of the speaker, but after physically removing the shim and reattaching it, the sound started. Maybe one of the pins did not make perfect contact the first time, and problem was solved, but just an observation if you encounter the same issue.”
