To make her daily life more\nenjoyable and to make accessing audiobooks as easy as possible for her, I\ndeveloped the SimplicityPlayer.\n\n![Simplicity-Player](docs/img/simplicityPlayer-finished.jpg)\n  \nThe SimplicityPlayer is a user-friendly audiobook player explicitly designed to\nallow people with visual impairments to operate it easily. It utilizes a\nphysical button for play/pause and provides feedback through a simple LCD, which\nis optional for operation. To change the audiobook, it uses RFID cards, which\nonly need to be placed on the reader.  \n  \nThis project also marks my entry into the world of Python programming. With\nlittle prior experience in Python, it was a challenge, yet it was gratifying\nbecause I had the explicit goal of creating something meaningful for my\ngrandmother. Throughout the development process, I learned a lot about Python,\nhardware interactions on the Raspberry Pi, and managing audio media.  \n  \n## Features\n- **Easy Operation:** The player is controlled using a physical button and RFID\ncards, making it easy to use even for individuals with visual impairments.\n- **Feedback via LCD:** A simple LCD provides visual feedback designed for high\ncontrast and easy readability.\n- **Customizable and Expandable:** Using a Raspberry Pi as the base, the player\ncan easily customize and extend with additional features.\n- **Web Interface:** A simple web interface allows for remote player control and\naudio media management.\n\n## Hardware\n- 1x Raspberry Pi 3A+\n- 1x InnoMaker HiFi DAC HAT (RPI-HIFI-DAC-PCM5122)\n- 1x RFID Reader (RC522)\n- 1x LCD1602 + LCD I2C Interface (PCF8574)\n- 1x Cherry MX Button\n- 1x 4k7 Ohm Resistor\n- 4x M2.5x5\n- 7x M3x6\n- 4x M3 nuts (optional, could be also printed)\n- some wires and shrink tubes\n- 2x 4-pin female Dupont connectors (optional, could be also soldered)\n- 1x 3-pin female Dupont connector (optional, could be also soldered)\n- 1x 2-pin female Dupont connector (optional, could be also soldered)\n- 1x 2-pin male Dupont connector (optional, could be also soldered)\n- 13x female Dupont crimps (optional, could be also soldered)\n- 2x male Dupont crimps (optional, could be also soldered)\n- Filament for 3D printing (I used ABS, all other filament types should work as\nwell)\n\n## Wiring\nThe wiring guide can be found in this repository's\n[docs/WIRING.md](docs/WIRING.md) file.\n\n## Installation\nThe installation guide can be found in this repository's\n[docs/INSTALL.md](docs/INSTALL.md) file.\n\n### Contribution\nYour contribution to this project is warmly welcomed! Whether you want to\ncontribute code, report bugs, or suggest improvements, every bit of help is\nvaluable in making the SimplicityPlayer better and more accessible to everyone.\nPlease see the [CONTRIBUTING.md](CONTRIBUTING.md) file for more information.  \n  \nI hope the SimplicityPlayer brings you or your loved ones as joy as it has\nbrought my grandmother and me.","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fmeteyou%2Fsimplicityplayer","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fmeteyou%2Fsimplicityplayer","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fmeteyou%2Fsimplicityplayer/lists"}
