Baby tunes
So, here’s a first for me – a post about a finished project. Well, OK, not finished but in production at least.
Friday night the radio in the nursery kicked it.

I think the warranty has expired.
I’ve been meaning to make a headless RasBMC player anyway, so I distracted the baby with the box from my new router and jumped in.
It works! My music is mirrored on a NAS with an SMB option. I canย export my existing playlists to the hard drive with a few tweaks in notepad++ to fix the paths. I’ve got a usb powered surface transducer to help keep the sound low.
Eventually I’d like to pack the entire thing in the clock radio guts. But that will have to wait ๐
Garrett Singing
Testing out the new HTML5 video player. Let me know how it works ๐
He sings like this all the time, what a little songbird ๐
Arrivals
We’ve into bigger digs to make room for our growing family. Unfortunately, that no more Diyode, just when I finally have the space to put it to better use ๐
Along with my already established motion sensor monitor project, I’d like to see something like a wearable temperature sensor – Maybe an Adafruit Gemma with a smart pixel or two? Something that I can swap between outfits. Babies can’t indicate well when they’ve got cold feet.
And also, more importantly, the climate control for each room of this place is a heat/AC unit that can only blow a certain temp at a certain speed until the power goes out or the sun explodes. I’d like to add some brains, like an arduino with a temp sensor and a pair of servos for the climate control knobs. Going to mock it up on the codeshield ๐ If I get really ambitious, I’d like to network the rooms together with a web interface somehow…
