The idea is to simulate a record player; don't take it too seriously.\n\nI'm using a Raspberry Pi 3 B.\n\n## How it works\n\n1. The music catalog is defined on `config.toml` file. See [config.toml.example](./config.toml.example) for an example.\n2. When someone places an RFID tag on the reader, the music will play on the Google Home device.\n\nUse the command `python discovery.py` to find your device information.\n\n## Hardware\n\n\u003e This is what I'm using. Use whatever you want.\n\n- [Raspberry Pi 3 B](https://www.raspberrypi.org/products/raspberry-pi-3-model-b/)\n- [MFRC522 RC522](https://www.amazon.nl/-/en/dp/B09H6PLM1C?psc=1\u0026ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details)\n\n## Demo\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OBsPoJM-FHk\n\n## How to run\n\nInstall dependencies:\n\n```sh\npip install -r requirements.txt\n```\n\nThen:\n\n```sh\npython main.py my-config.toml\n```\n\n### Keep it running\n\nCreate a service on `/etc/systemd/system/`. For example:\n\n```sh\n# cat /etc/systemd/system/vinyl.service\n[Unit]\nDescription=Vinyl Player Service\nAfter=network.target # Wait for the network to be available\n\n[Service]\nUser=eduardostuart\nWorkingDirectory=/home/eduardostuart/vinyl-record-player/\nExecStart=/usr/bin/python main.py config.toml\nRestart=always\n\n[Install]\nWantedBy=multi-user.target\n```\n\nThen enable \u0026 start the service using:\n\n```sh\nsudo systemctl enable vinyl.service  # enable\nsudo systemctl start vinyl.service   # start\nsudo systemctl status vinyl.service  # check if the service is running\nsudo systemctl daemon-reload\n```\n\n## To-do list (a.k.a.: wishlist)\n\n- [ ] add a button to pause/play the music\n- [ ] add a motor to simulate the vinyl record rotation\n- [ ] 3d printed vinyl player\n\n## Vinyl builder\n\nIf you want to have your own fake vinyl, I created a super simple \"vinyl\" builder. You can find the app [here](./vinyl-builder). I'm basically printing and using an [A4 laminator](https://www.action.com/nl-nl/p/2554854/fichero-lamineerapparaat/). _(yes, a 3d printed one would look way nicer, but I don't have a 3d printer)_\n\n## References \u0026 inspiration\n\nThere are a lot of projects out there that are similar to this. The main difference is that I use YouTube Music instead of Spotify and a Google Home device.\n\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n  \u003csummary\u003eInspiration list\u003c/summary\u003e\n\n- [A Modern Day Record Player: RFID Technology \u0026 Spotify API by talaexe](https://talaexe.com/moderndayrecordplayer)\n- [Automating My Morning Routine - Modern-Day Record Player by Uma Abu](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-pfpPQN2Vek\u0026t=454s)\n- [DIY RFID Jukebox - by Slopes Tech](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wtzMpPbsPb4)\n- [TonUINO, DIE DIY Musikbox (nicht nur) für Kinder (Jukebox, Arduino, RFID, DFPlayer, MP3)\n  by Thorsten Voß](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-WZEMqXRFg4)\n\n\u003c/details\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n  \u003csummary\u003eReferences list\u003c/summary\u003e\n\n- [RC522 RFID lezer aansluiten op een Raspberry Pi en uitlezen met Python](https://raspberrytips.nl/rc522-rfid-raspberry-pi-3/)\n- [pychromecast from home-assistant](https://github.com/home-assistant-libs/pychromecast)\n\n\u003c/details\u003e\n\n## License\n\nVinyl Record Player is licensed under the MIT license.
