Mini Jukebox W/ Bluetooth Speaker Capability (Unfinished Hardware)

This is a small jukebox with a touchscreen, it can be used standalone with saved tracks, or as a Bluetooth speaker to stream songs from your phone or computer.

You can make custom playlists, and save as many songs as you want, playing them in any order. Or you can toggle Bluetooth mode and use it as a speaker. It has some nice mesh and lights that change color to the music for style points.

This jukebox is made out of wood with the digital component being a Raspberry PI 3 (Model B).

Bill of Materials:

Wood - 14$

Vinyl - $

Speaker - $

Screen - $20

LED Strip - $5

Mesh - $8

ON/OFF Switch - $

Total Cost:

You can swap these parts out to customize it if you want, but keep the screen and pi model the same, because the body dimensions are built around them.

Get the OS imager downloaded onto your pc

Then download the OS onto your PI

Put together the PI/screen combo as it explains in the instructions for the screen.

Now you can boot it up

Make sure to use a proper power source, as too little can mess up the SD card

Once you're there, you need to create a directory for the app itself.

The app is available to download in the attachments at the bottom of this step.

You need to put the app file in the JukeboxApp folder, right next to the playlists folder. I have attached an image to show what it should look like.

Put the songs you want to play in the songs folder, as .mp3 files only.

Download the STL file, and 3D print the body. You'll want to use strong supports and medium infill.

WARNING: PRINT IS REALLY BIG

Sand it a ton and then it will allow the Vinyl to stick better

Take a sheet of vinyl and laser cut using the file in this step. If you don't have a laser cutter you are poor. But its ok because you can manually cut it based on the instructions in the file.

Once it has been finished, place the parts around the body as shown.

Use a phone cord (usb-c), cut the head off, separate and strip the wires. Use a multimeter to determine which wires are power and which are data. Only keep the power wires. Take a 3.5mm aux cable and cut off the head and other head, then separate and strip the wires. Add solder to solidify all the wires from both cords. Then put the power cords into the appropriate slots in the amp. Plug the aux cords into the output slots from the amp, solder the opposite side into the speaker. Then plug the amp into the pi with another aux cable.
