This is a desktop player for DI.FM that I made for the 20-year anniversary.
I gathered a lof of experience during this proejct:
- learned how to solder (again)
- familliarised myself with Python
- wrote and debugged firmware for an Arduino Nano
- learned to model in Fusion 360
- found out that 3-d printing don’t happen right on the first time
Details
Desktop player based on Raspberry Pi, that can play DI.FM channels (IceCast streams to be exact).
It is controlled with photoslides frames that have NFC-stickers on them, the stickers point to certain channels.
The player can also play other sources like Spotify, Google Play Music, Soma.fm thanks to MusicBox software.
It has a physical Play/Pause button, volume knob and a small screen that displays current track. Sound output is through audiojack or HDMI (Raspberry Pi standard).
