Internet Radio Built In Charming Cassette-Like Form Factor
Indoorgeek has fashioned a captivating internet radio in their latest project, resembling the nostalgic form of a cassette tape. The build showcases a clever integration of a PCB and 3D-printed components, complete with a transparent OLED screen mirroring the cassette’s iconic center window. The harmonious alignment of graphics between the display and the PCB elevates the project’s aesthetic appeal, adding a delightful touch of nostalgia to the design.
At the heart of this internet radio lies an ESP32, serving as the central hub for streaming audio content over the internet via a WiFi connection. Powered by a compact lithium-polymer battery, the setup features a MAX98357 Class D amplifier, skillfully driven by the ESP32’s I2S hardware. With audio emanating from a salvaged speaker extracted from an old smartphone, the project seamlessly combines vintage charm with modern functionality.
Designed for both visual appeal and practical use, this internet radio project by Indoorgeek offers a delightful blend of retro aesthetics and contemporary technology. With its compact form factor and seamless integration of components, it promises to provide an enjoyable listening experience while evoking fond memories of the classic cassette tape era.
