In the 1980s and 1990s, 'Boomboxes' were very popular. The sight of a person carrying a huge music player on their shoulder was iconic, until the Walkman came along. The team decided it's time for a retro-fit, using the intel Edison, with thanks to its Arduino compatible breakout board, and a USB soundcard it's time to make the Boombox smarter while keeping with its original parts. After all, the more parts that's kept, the easier it is to modify! Find out how Ben and the team powered the intel Edison using standard batteries and kept the good times rolling, what tech' would you retrofit with modern hardware? Let us know on the element14 Community.

    That has to be the most simple build till date. I was hoping you would do something about the physical appearance but ... meh.

     

    For the display, I use an E-paper display so that it consumes almost no power and in my case, I was using a Raspberry Pi, but will give the edison a shot.

    Cheers!

    Great show.

     

    I now have some ideas on what to do with an Intel Edison board.
