The March issue of Nuts and Volts features an article by Craig Lindley about how to Build Your Own Wi-Fi Internet Radio.
In the article, Craig mentions that my Wifi Radio project gave him the inspiration to build his project. Thanks for the shoutout, Craig!
My Wifi Radio project got a shoutout in this month’s issue of Popular Science!
“Radio How You Want It” by Vin Marshall appears on page 78. Vin built a gorgeous Wi-Fi radio based on my plans. He also added a number of twists and new features, such as an analog signal strength meter and a graphic LCD display.
Nice work, Vin! Thanks for the mention!
Jan Wante made this gorgeous Wifi Radio with a modern look. It is based on my original Wifi Radio tutorials.
Not content to simply duplicate my work, he added a few creative twists of his own, including a custom handmade case made of alucobond, MDF, and real wood veneer that gives his finished radio a nice, modern look. Inside, a hacked WL-520gU wireless router running OpenWrt runs the show and an ATmega microcontroller programmed with BASCOM interfaces with a rotary encoder and graphical LCD display.
The very impressive result is shown in this video:
Nice work, Jan!
Welcome, BBC listeners! You probably want to start here.
Last Friday, I was interviewed by Gareth Mitchell of BBC’s Digital Planet at the incredibly successful Dorkbot/Ignite SXSW show.
The Digital Planet SXSW episode (and a <short!> clip from my interview) is now online.
You can also subscribe to a podcast of the show, available for most media players.
I also uploaded some pictures of the Dorkbot/Ignite event. They only capture a small fraction of the exhibits, there just wasn’t enough time for me to see them all!
This Friday, March 11th, Austin’s Dorkbot chapter is holding a science fair in conjunction with Ignite Austin for SXSW Interactive.
I’ll be demoing my Wifi Radio project and showing off various other projects. There is a list of presenters here.
General Admission is $10 ($0 for SXSW badge holders), but if you RSVP right now on Dorkbot Austin’s Facebook page there might be some free passes left.
