The Arduino Fox Hunt Transmitter will be documented in another post, in this post I want to document the Raspberry Pi SSTV Field Day Beacon. The one thing that I don’t like about the Raspberry Pi is that it only has digital input/output logic lines. It has no built in analog capabilities to read voltages, […]

What I’ve made is a radio with 6 buttons and a 20×4 LCD screen. There is an “ON” button, and “OFF”, “BACK”, “PLAY”, “STOP” and “NEXT”. It is connected to the internet via WiFi, and it powered by a USB hub connected through a Pi-Supply (http://www.pi-supply.com/product/pi-supply-raspberry-pi-power-switch/) so I get a proper shut down.

This is a 1979 Bang & Olufsen Beocord 1500 cassette recorder that I’ve converted into a standalone Raspberry Pi internet radio. The analogue VU meters are driven by the Pi via a DAC (Digital to Analogue Converter) circuit, with the current time, station and track displayed on an Adafruit negative RGB display, visible through what

What to do with the small cardboard box full of Raspberry Pi related junk, besides watch it sit slowly collecting dust. Surely it should be doing something interesting? Failing that it could be a wifi radio, I suppose. Notes on how I converted a cardboard box full of bits into a cardboard box full of

Most ways to stream music to multiple sets of speakers cost more than it is worth. I don’t think I have to say much about it, you probably wanted to do this in the past but it just seemed stupid to spend that much money on a separate dedicated system. We are going to exploit
