DIY Vintage Raspberry Pi Internet-Radio / Spotify Device
I used the free Linux distribution "Pi MusicBox": http://www.woutervanwijk.nl/pimusicbox/ it offers: - Standalone Spotify, Google Music, SoundCloud music player - Remote control it with a nice browser-interface, or with an MPD-client - Web Radio - AirTunes/AirPlay streaming - Last.FM scrobbling - Play music files from the SD, USB, Network. - and more...
two old radios found on ebay
(used the best parts of both for this project)
a lot useless non-working stuff inside
everything out and cleaned
the speaker
i had to measure the electrical resistance to estimate its impedance (multiply with 1,25)
first success - the speaker is working
i got a small amplifier (9 euro) that can be powered by USB (5V) and was even able to use the volume control of the old radio! Just soldered together provisionally ...
putting it all together
attached amplifier
mount for the raspberry pi
just two pieces of wood, two thread-inserts and two mainboard spacers
glued in
stuff is in and working - yay !
power-supply in the back and connected power-buttons
the poweron/reset-switch just has to be connected to the raspberrys P6-port, but for the power-off-switch you have to use a pull-up-resistor and write a small bash-script (inotify) to respond to that switch.
power-connector
status LED
... to show if the device is switched on or to indicate triggered buttons. It's controlled by a bash-script via the GPIO ports.
GPIO connections to LED and power-off switch
more details...
snapped together
volume-control on the left, the power-off switch is the one with the circle and the power-on the one with the notes on it - the rest is not in use.
MPDroid Android app
there are various apps on the playstore, itunes or the windows phone store that speak the MPD protocol.
mobile Web-Version of musicbox
awesome for guests that are logged in your wifi or someone who doesn't want to install an extra app. there is also a layout for tablets or desktop-browsers.
