Car stereo Boombox

grabcad

This is my boombox. I found a PC power supply unit and I had no idea what to do with it. So... I got an old car stereo (Blaupunkt Car 300) and two speakers from the radio. I connected power supply unit to the car stereo. I added an antenna (I used a simple wire) and then I connected two 5W speakers to the stereo. Now, I can listen to music. But... it was just few components lying on each other. So I made a case. I used OSB (Oriented strand board) for the case. I cut up the panels and cut out holes for the stereo, speakers, ... with jigsaw. I assembled all the components together and I got nice piece of "furniture" that plays music. I added a rocker switch to the front panel so I can turn ON or turn OFF PC power supply unit that doesn't run all time and it's easier too, because I don't want to turn it on at the back of boombox. I also added Arduino Uno, Microphone Sensor AVR PIC, resistors, wires and LEDs. I connected all of them together and programmed Arduino to control LEDs. I wrote program for sound sensitive LEDs. I ordered all of this components on ebay and they costed around 10€ . Components that I used: - Blaupunkt car 300 - 5W speakers (2X) - PC power supply unit - rocker switch - Arduino Uno - LEDs (7X) - 300Ω resistors (7X) - wires - microphone sensor Some videos that were helpful to me: - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I5dov-HfoZk&index=1&list=WL - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_L4YbE4MngY - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c3DFLFITaG0 Tutorial for the second video with also written program for Arduino on this page http://www.princetronics.com/sound-sensitive-lights-w-sound-sensor-arduino/
