HackSpace Magazine Issue 71 – Make an Airplay boombox with Raspberry Pi Zero #PiDay #Python @Raspberry_Pi @HackSpaceMag

HackSpace Magazine Issue 71 dubs the Adafruit Boomy Pi Airplay Boombox their Objet 3d’art.

This portable music player from the Ruiz brothers uses a host of Adafruit goodness, a
Raspberry Pi Zero W, and a smart 3D-printed enclosure to transmit your tunes. It plays audio streamed from your iOS device over Apple’s AirPlay protocol; and it’s battery-powered, so you can use it on the move.

The guts of this build include a Raspberry Pi Zero W, an Adafruit Stereo Speaker Bonnet, and a Pimoroni Pico HAT Hacker to give access to all 40 of the Raspberry Pi Zero W’s GPIO pins. There’s also a clever bit of power management, with a 3.7 V mAh battery and an Adafruit Power Boost to bring the output up to a more useful 5 V. All this, plus a 3D-printed enclosure. Nice work.
