This is a balena application you can deploy to your Raspberry Pi and turn it to an AirPlay target that can stream audio to any Hi-Fi setup via the analogue output.
Under the hood, it uses the excellent shairport-sync project.
- A Raspberry Pi 2 or 3
- An analogue audio setup such as an amplifier and speakers
- Appropriate analogue Mini-jack to RCA or Phono cable
You can then target this setup and stream audio from any AirPlay-capable device, version either 1 or 2 (most iOS, tvOS and macOS devices)
IMPORTANT: The Raspberry Pi will send a loud click out its analogue output when the audio device is started or shut down. That usually means, the first time an AirPlay client connects and starts streaming and on reboot or shutdown. Watch out or this can fry your equipment.
Clone this repository locally to your computer:
$ git clone https://github.com/balena-io-playground/airpod.git
Follow the Getting Started guide to provision your device and deploy this project with Resin.io.
Use the Dashboard to configure the app.
On the "Fleet Configuration" page, add a new entry:
BALENA_HOST_CONFIG_audio_pwm_mode: 2
On the "Environment Variables" page, add the following entry:
AIRPOD_PASS: a password that should be provided by clients targeting this device for playback.
That's it. After a few seconds, the device will advertise itself as an Airplay target under its name. You can change the device name from the Dashboard.
