If you’re the type who enjoys passing idle time by keeping
up with podcasts or listening to web stations but don’t
always want to occupy your laptop or tablet, this Arduino
based radio player will provide a base station for tunes.
The Web Radio project outlines in a
pleasing amount of detail exactly how to wire up a short list
of four modules. These including an Ethernet shield, LCD
screen, MP3 decoder, and USB serial converter, with an
Arduino Mini in order to bookmark and play fourteen of your
favorite channels. His hand-soldered board
couples everything into one neatly stacked package.
The instructional video shows this off and he even explains
how to locate your favorite stations on internet-radio.com
and copy their port and IP number directly into an example
sketch which is provided for use. If you’ve been wanting to
build a self contained radio node for your desk free of extra
baggage, this is a no-sweat project for both the hardware
savvy and those more oriented with code writing.
If you’re going to build your own radio, it’s always cool to
disguise your high-tech creation as something more rustic.
Check out this project by [Dominic Buchstaller] for a
great example of a vintage radio given a second calling.
