Raspberry Pi IR-Controlled Internet Radio
For this project, you need the following:
- Raspberry Pi with network connection (ethernet/wireless usb), power supply, SD card etc
- SSD1306 OLED display (eg from Adafruit)
- MCP3008 Analogue to Digital converter chip
- Sharp Infrared distance sensor (such as GP2Y0A02YK0F)
- Wires, soldering iron, DMM, breadboard etc
The following are optional:
- USB sound card
- Laser diode
The idea of this project is to create a wireless internet radio which can be controlled exclusively by hand gestures (like a Theremin). The project is in the early stages of development but so far looks promising!
