Introduction

"Quand il me prend dans ses bras..." Here's what I hear when I see an old radio. I had to give a new youth to that object.

Difficulties

There's a huge box, so we can put whatever we want.

I've added a difficulty: hide the DVD reader behind the glass I'll flip to access reader.

From a mouse I've built a controller :

  • turn = up/down
  • push = validate
  • pull = cancel

User interface

We can use 3 of 4 buttons:

  • one will open the glass and the disk reader
  • one will level the volume
  • one will select functions
  • one is just decorative

Speaker is into the box.

If I think it fine, it'll be possible to use it without screen.

Components

  • Woody radio
  • Micro ATX motherboard
  • Audio amplifier Scythe SP-1100
  • DVD reader
  • Yellow LEDs for lamp effect
  • Motor for glass flip

What to do

  • A problem with motherboard
  • Make the motor/reader command

Evolution

No idea...
