Wine Box Become RPi Boom Box

I made a boom box by a wine box, and it's works well. I gave it to my girl friend as a gift. She is so happy that can not help crying... (LoL!)

just kidding...

It's my first DIY stuff, i made it for my girl is real...

Find a Wooden Box

At the very beginning,I was trying to make a boom box by using a paper box, but one day I got a wine box from my father,so I decided to make it a wooden boom box.

It's Sounds Good, But Lack of Something

You can see the paper box of my friends, it looks nice but sounds just a little bit stranger.....

Find a Amplifier Like This.

I purchase it from taobao, you can buy it from amazon or ebay.

it's a small amplifier，it can be drivered on 5V, and it has left channel, right channel and GND, VCC pins, you can just soldering it with your speaker.

Wire It Up

You can find the function description on the amplifier board, such as VCC,GND, L,R (means channel), and you can test it on your laptop.

Use Wine Box Instead.

I just find out a wine box and i have drilled two big holes for speakers, and one small hole for the rotate resister on the Amplifier. and wire everything up.

and also,i find a raspberry Pi as music player, burned latest image to the TF card and boot it up, installed a software called "omxplayer" , download some music into my TF card. and write a shell scripts to play music.

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get -y install omxplayer

sudo omxplayer -o local xxx.mp3

last command will turn on the music, just enjoy it and have fun.
