Usually I write more in the "Software" section but today I want to write primarily about hardware since I've built a nice and stylish DIY radio.
Its a Squeezebox built from a Tivoli Audio alarm speaker, and for the impatient ones among you, here are the key features and a picture: [image: http://penguinlovesmusic.de/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/radiocoolio-420x317.jpg] - Tivoli Speaker and case using the original speaker and 3W output; - WiFi; - runs on battery for a whole day (more than 12h); - rotary and push controller for volume and play/pause; - separate alarm clock; - fully Squeezebox compatible player using a Raspberry Pi zero and SqueezeLite; - very simple and power-efficient 5V design. And since Coolio and I do software in the first place, the whole project has its own software as well, in this case our open-sourced solution to power the volume and play/pause control. Its quite cool, too :), you can find it on GitHub at https://github.com/coolio107/SqueezeButtonPi-Daemon If you want to discuss it in this forum, there's a separate thread for that: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?107001-ANNOUNCE-SqueezeButtonPi-Tool-to-use-buttons-and-rotary-encoders-on-a-RPi If you want to read the full story, you can find it here: http://penguinlovesmusic.de/the-tivoli-squeezebox-radio/ --- learn more about iPeng, the iPhone and iPad remote for the Squeezebox and Logitech UE Smart Radio as well as iPeng Party, the free Party-App, at penguinlovesmusic.com *New: iPeng 9, the Universal App for iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch* ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=107031
