| Software Used: | [[1]] |
We have a wifi-enabled music station to play songs in the common room via an amplifier.
Software
The Music playback is controlled by Mopidy. Any code for setting up mopidy for the needs of the CoMakingSpace can be found on [[2]].
Hardware
This project runs on a Raspberry Pi located in the Common Room, next to the speakers and the printer. Right now, this is a Rapberry Pi 2.
Usage

In case you want to add your own music, please use SSH to push Music into the folder /Music
Further Improvements / things to donate
- Upgrade to a Raspberry Pi 3 in order to enable bluetooth playback
- Add a dedicated Soundcard (USB or a [HAT]
