Raspberry Pi Cassette Player Reads NFC Cards to Choose Albums
2022-03-08T05:04:51Z
Waymonster’s Raspberry Pi – powered cassette player uses NFC cards to select albums and change the music in real-time.
What sets this stereo apart from others; is Waymonster’s decision to house the project inside of an old cassette tape player. According to Waymonster, there was enough room inside the stereo to accommodate the Pi project without removing anything. The original hardware remains intact and can function like a cassette player if you remove the NFC sensor.
Waymonster is using a Raspberry Pi 3B+ to power this project; but there’s no reason you couldn’t use a more recent model like the Raspberry Pi 4; or even a Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W. The Pi is fitted with a HiFiBerry DAC2 HD HAT; and uses a Mifare RC522 module to read the NFC cards.
