EE47 Final Project Documentation – BOOMBOX mini

Design Vision/Point of View:

My design was created based on the fact that size would amount to the time it would take to create it. So I thought of a player of music that would be excusable for the size it might become, so I immediately was draw to a Boom box. With this idea and the parts I had, I imagined a miniature sized boom box of which I could hook onto my backpack or onto my belt loop, and still be able to blast music at its loudest. The idea was to make a more portable version of a Boom box that allowed to download any music you wanted into it, without the necessity of CD’s or cassettes, and you could also plug in headphones or ear buds in to listen to the music yourself!

I envisioned the Boom box mini with the classic two loudspeakers with a display in the middle that would display the selected song. There would also be a large button of which to play and stop the song, an encoder which would scroll through the songs, and a potentiometer that could adjust the volume.

Components Necessary:

• Arduino Micro

• VS1053 MP3/MIDI decoder

• Stereo 2.8W Class D Audio Amplifier

• 2: 3” Diameter (8 olm, 1 watt)

• LED Illuminated Pushbutton 30mm Square

• Rotary Encoder

• 10K potentiometer

• Breadboard

• Micro SD Card

• Standard LED

Process:

Because the week leading up to the final presentation was Finals week, the process of constructing my project was very hectic. On Monday, I focused on building the face of the Boom box using the laser cutting in Room 36, and I completed the face as planned. On Tuesday I was busy with Finals from another class, and on Wednesday was spent in vain trying to utilize another mp3 decoder that I bought from Adafruit. When I realized that it was not working out I spent Thursday rewiring the previous mp3 circuit that we learned in lab 6, and wired up the loudspeakers to the amplifier to the mp3. On Friday, I managed to get the Play and Pause button working. However, I did not managed my time wisely and I didn’t not get to the other functions of the BOOMBOX mini that I wanted to implement such as the display, the song selector, and the volume knob. I decided to focus on the basic parts of the mp3 such as getting it to play music in the first play and controller when to play the music.
