HG Wells - The Music Machine

[Foggy]

Made another squeezebox. Can't stop making them as it's so much fun and so easy with Raspberry pi's.
It's Raspberry Pi Zero, Scroll Phat HD, PhatDAC. I've got 7 LEDs and 8 switches on the GPIO pins for differing functionality.
Bought a glass dome with LEDS in the base already which I just connected up to a GPIO pin.
Resistors and switches are hidden in the seperate base.

It's running SqueezeLite and runs a python script and uses modules PyLMS and Spotipy.

Works a treat with iPeng and Spotify.

(I've had to edit the video as it was being blocked in the US for music copyright - so have cropped the end - hopefully OK now.)

I'm really chuffed with it. It sounds great too!

Cheers,

Yup, sure looks easy to make.

Well it took around a week of evenings tinkering to make and a bit longer writing the software, but it wasn’t long ago l was googling how to illuminate an LED using a Raspberry Pi. 🙂

Very cool!
I was at Knebworth in '78 and '79, as well as other times. Used to live in Stevenage a couple of miles away, so we'd walk there. Don't know what happened to the posters though. Good times.

Hi there,
I never actually went to Knebworth. I lived near Reading, so that was the festival I regularly went to and didn’t start going to gigs and festivals until around 1980, as I’m a mere youngster. 😄
Amazingly I still have all my old posters from then in the loft, mainly Marillion and Genesis.
