Will you take pictues from 2019 from the old thread for the 2020 calendar? Or should we post a single picture here again for it? |

I will go through the old thread, as well, of course. In short: I will dig through both. |

So here's what I built for my little one. She's shy of 16 months so this box will be mostly used for animal sounds for now. Love how versatile Phonieboxes are as they will easily grow with your children and their needs.

@andreasbrett: very impressive! Here is my more modest design: |

This is the second Phoniebox I built up.
After this repair the radio sound (FM/UKW) was fantastic. So I searched this topic in the internet and found some hints and solutions how to connect audio line outputs to a tube radio's TA input. Finally I decided to upcycle my tube radio by adding the typical Phoniebox parts (Raspberry Pi Zero, Hifiberry DAC, Power Supply, RFID reader) and an audio cable including a very simple but very good passive audio filter ( see this link for details ). Now my good old Jubilate 8 tube radio has some additional features which in the 1950's no one had dared to dream: :)
And of course all sound features can be played in crystal clear tube amp quality. But this radio only provides one audio channel (mono). In my opinion this doesn't matter. I mixed the left and the right channel in the audio cable using resistors. Open topics:
Attention: If you want to modify a tube radio by yourself you must be an electronics specialist! Tube radios can be very dangerous. Inside of them there are very high voltages which can kill you. So don't do anything with them if you do not exactly know what you must and what you can do there.

@flo2305 that is a Phoniebox classic by now, you are right. Nice 50s green. Looks like you got the dial for volume and buttons to skip to new tracks. If you have a working script combining buttons and dial, I would like to add this to the wiki, possibly you can write something? |

@MiczFlor Hi. Sorry, but I didn’t realize the volume control in software. It’s the built-in dial from the speakers. I soldered it around and built it into my box. |

My first self-designed speaker. Made with a MPCNC lowrider from 18mm plywood. Turned out to be too loud for a kid's room, so I had to cap the volume in software. The slot is for RFID cards which get a label for each audio book.

I modified an old boombox to work as a phoniebox. I added NFC stickers to the cassettes. When you put a new cassette in it will load a spotify playlist. When you then press the play button it will start playing. Prev/Next and Volume also work! :)

My simple blue box design. RFID reader and buttons for prev/play/pause/next and volume control on top. On the back it has a system on/off power button with LED status and and external USB C port for power bank charging compatible with existing newer chargers. The bottom allows access to the powerbank status LEDs. Thingiverse link for the USB C mounting port: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4785512

Here is my box. Classic design and I won't show you the inside 🙄 #CableMisManagement
I used the Phoniebox StatusLED for the buttons. So you see that the box is ready to play after boot. The red LED is the OnOffShimLED. It tells you everything about Boot and Shutdown. |

Here is a phoniebox i made for my daughter's 3rd b-day. Raspberry pi 3B+, adafruit 1000C, USB powered 3.5mm audio jack speakers (with a ground isolator). Thank you Phoniebox creators for making and documenting such an incredible device!

Really nice project. I'm interested in ads1015 /SoC implementation. Were you able to implement the SoC in webview and also with LEDs? |

Thx for the hint. I'm using a Bluetooth speaker (actually using line in and not bt) because of the high quality speakers. |

Hi Phonieboxers,
please add your designs of finished Phonieboxes in this thread. Also, I am collecting designs for the new calendar 2021 coming out shortly before Christmas. You can see the 2020 calendar here and the 2019 calendar here.
Use this new thread that I started for sharing pictures and designs, because the old thread was wonderfully picture rich which is why it became very heavy to load. So we start a fresh thread end of 2019 and into 2020. You can find the old thread of Phoniebox designs for inspiration here.
