Modern Jukebox #Music #piday #raspberrypi @Raspberry_Pi

Full build guide for a groovy jukebox! Thanks for the tip Bob!

From thisoldgeek on Hackster.io:

I’ve been in love with classic jukeboxes for years. As far back as 2014, I was trying to make one, but I didn’t have the skills for a good-looking build. Fast forward to today, when I’ve learned some 3D printing and design skills.

Passion, curiosity and desire drove this effort. If you’re thinking you’d like to have a mini jukebox like this, there are mass-market offerings that are muchcheaper, like this tabletop Victrola model for $65 USD. Hackster maker flyingangel has a great jukebox build. On the other hand, there are ready-made modern jukeboxes that are larger (105cm /41.3 in H) but much more expensive at around $795 USD. Check the Cost and Effort sections below to see how much is involved in this project.

UPDATED GUIDE: DIY lofi hip hop Raspberry Pi radio gets a 3D printed enclosure #AdafruitLearningSystem #RaspberryPi @Adafruit @Raspberry_Pi @JeffEpler

The DIY lofi hip hop radio guide has a new page with a 3D printable enclosure:

If you like lofi radio as much as the author, you’ll want to make your project into something more permanent, and that means 3D printing!

Grab the STL files from prusaprinters.org to get started. All files should load in your slicer in the intended orientation for printing.  If you want to customize or remove the lettering, you can use the free software OpenSCAD to edit the scad source.

UPDATED GUIDE: Customize the Streams on the DIY lofi radio (ft. Baby Yoda) #AdafruitLearningSystem #RaspberryPi @Adafruit @Raspberry_Pi @JeffEpler

What would Baby Yoda listen to? It’s hard to be sure, but I think “star wars ~ lofi beats to relax/study to” is a good guess.

Learn how to customize the streams on the DIY lofi radio, by following this example with two Star Wars themed lofi channels.

The Omniphone is an Inclusive Instrument #Teensy #MusicMonday #3DPrinting

The Omniphone is an absolutely fantastic project that aims to enable everyone to make music! CDM breaks it down well here:

These designs for music therapy collaboration do make new demands to better remove restrictions present on other instruments. That bulbous shape makes the objects playful and encourages touch. Capacitive sensors make it responsive – with light and vibration feedback. The Teensy, a powerful and friendly inexpensive embeddable platform, powers the brains.

Vintage Rotary Phone Dial PC Volume Control #MusicMonday

It might not be the most practical volume control but there is something so satisfying about old rotary phone dials. Nice detailed guide with a funny intro video. Shared by Cameron Coward on Hackster.io:

If you’re anything like me, you find yourself changing the volume on your computer quite often. Some videos are louder than others, sometimes you want the volume muted on your computer while you listen to podcasts or music, and you might need to quickly turn the volume down if you receive a phone call. If you don’t have media controls built into your computer, then you can turn a vintage rotary phone dial into a volume control for your Windows PC.

This volume control device plugs into your computer through USB, and will automatically set every open program’s volume to whatever number you dial. If you dial a “2, ” the volume will be set to 20%. Dial an “8” and it will be set to 80%. Dialing “0” sets it to 0% and acts like mute. It’s quick, satisfying, and more fun than clicking around on the volume control in your taskbar.

@SimoneGertz Builds a Robot Proud Parent

Simone builds another charming project on YouTube. Missing a little fatherly affirmation right now (or anytime)? This one is for you. Watch the video and laugh along.

I built myself a proud parent because we could all use some more pats on the shoulder. And in case nobody has told you that they’re proud of you in a while: I’m proud of you. Yeah, you! Here’s a pat on the shoulder. Keep the 25¢, this one’s on me.

Meet Device Simulator Express, #PythonSim a @MSFTGarage project, built by Garage interns that makes it easier to program the @adafruit Circuit Playground Express in #Python, with or without a physical device

OK! Big news! Meet Device Simulator Express, a Microsoft Garage project, built by Garage interns that makes it easier to program the Adafruit Circuit Playground Express in Python / CircuitPython, with or without a physical device!

This summer 16 groups of Garage interns tackled interesting engineering challenges ranging from making apps more accessible to VR solutions for cybersecurity. One of them was sponsored by the Python Tools for AI team and electronics paragon Adafruit to and set out to make programming embedded solutions for IoT devices simpler and more available to a broader audience.
