aon4o / dj-controller

Play your favourite songs through our audio player. You can also build your own DIY music controller with sliders and normal potentiometers. DJCON is an Arduino and Python project that can help you do all that!

DJCON

Description:

DJCON is an open-source software and hardware project for Linux PCs. You can either use our audio player that can play up to two songs at once and control them or follow the complete guide and create yourself the DIY music controller with potentiometers, Arduino and an optional LCD.

Technologies:

• Python3
• Arduino1.8

Management:

• Branching Strategy -> GitHub Flow
• Kanban -> GitHub Projects
• Mandatory Code Reviews
• Regularly updating the Wiki

First Milestone:

Research

1. Technology Research
   • How to connect Arduino with Python
   • How to take the input from Arduino
   • How to program the input taken
   • How to program an audio player

Second Milestone:

1. Programming an audio player
   • Using a song as an input
   • Basic functions of an audio player: play, pause, skip, replay
2. Advanced audio player functions
   • Use two songs at the same time
   • Being able to multitask between two songs
   • Adding advanced functions to the audio player: volume up/down, speed etc.
3. Arduino code
   • Taking input from multiple potentiometers
   • Creating the logic of the code
   • Programming the LCD to show volume changes

Final Milestone:

1. Hardware
   • Connections between the hardware
   • Hardware soldiering
   • Presentable case that can fit all the parts
2. Arduino with Python
   • Connect the Arduino with the Python code
   • Read the values of the potentiomeres
   • Use the values to control the audio player

Optional:

1. A good looking audio player UI
