- I love the Volumio music player software for the Raspberry PI, but I am tired of digging through my pockets for my phone to change the volume or pause a song. In this episode, we are going to fix that by adding a bunch of buttons and knobs in addition to a touchscreen display to control Volumio 100% from hardware and without the need for a web browser or app! bit.ly/3cgezKj

This is awesome!!! I need one of these. I miss buttons.
I love it.... Great idea for a project. I watch Ben Heck a lot on here element14 is the best. Lot of really great ideas. These Raspberry Pi setup kits have really come a long way man are they looking good for all kinds of things.
This project is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks!
This looks like the media player they would have installed on the International Space Station. I would be very interested in seeing you build the Mark 2 of this machine with a smooth fader motion and a conductive handle. The "dim/mute" switch is a great addition. Thanks for the cool project.
Wow, the seek is such an ice touch here! Awesome build!
The way it works in mixing consoles is that they sense directly through any usual plastic and rubber, this is just how sensitive the touch circuit is calibrated.
As to making something at home without metal fabrication that would increase sensitivity and bring the conductive touch surface closer to the finger... well my first instinct would be to 3D print and paint over it with a car rear glass defrost repair fluid, which is silver based paint, which costs about 7€ and is also sold as "Kemo L100 Conductive Silver" through electronics parts and kit distributors. It is remarkably finicky to work with, it needs to be shaken about twice a minute, if it separates, you can get bad patches which still look alright but with barely any conductivity. It also isn't necessarily long term durable to touch, so it should be painted over. I also don't have experience in how it interacts with print layer lines, as i only applied it over smooth surfaces that i primed and sanded prior.
One idea i have read somewhere but not tested is to create graphite conductive paint out of clear acrylic paint and 1:1 graphite. It's probably less conductive than silver paint, but should be fairly durable. I know there is "wire glue" which is fundamentally similar, but it isn't necessarily better, and when i bought one once, it was expensive and was completely dried up and ruined straight from the store shelf, so i'm not going to make that mistake again. Also maybe using less acrylic and adding some water, isopropanol or Windex as thinner could be an improvement.
I imagine graphite can be mixed into resin to make conductive cast items, but i have not been successful with epoxy - if you were to add a sufficient amount to be conductive, it becomes too thick and impossible to work with, so i think a formulation is possible, but i don't have the right material yet.
There is conductive 3D printing filament, seems to make more sense than painting, but i don't think i can try it, because the upfront expense is too high at 70€ and i will end up with a big roll of material that i cannot ever sensibly use up.
For the button, you could 3D print one and cover it with foil, or drill a hole and run a wire through it to a metal front surface.
Matt Damon?
He is a little bit out of shape, but yes it is Matt Damon.
Hmm, i think a easier way of going about it is with raspi gaming consoles out there. Which takes care of interface and controls. Just need some diy programming scripts to get it through voluminio, add pi2aes and you got a audiophile streamer that rivals thousands.
For the fader, I'd first try printer filament that is impregnated with metal. I think proto-pasta even has one they advertise as conductive. If that fails, I think I might try stripping the paint off of a small binder clip and plug the open sides with epoxy (although keeping the clip both removable and conductive might might take a couple of attempts).
I love the binder clip idea! Perfectly Hacky!
Want one.. :) so cool.... love the fader... maybe print blue arrow (cover/button)? pointing towards the volume so the arrow moves across the player would stand out more than the silver?
You know what would be cool? If the slider can move with a servo motor to show the real-time position in the track but still be able to slide it back and forth to skip manually. Auto reset to left side when the next song starts.
It already does all that.
:D
sweet project! Love the motorized fader! for yer next trick: how about an FPGA based pro-audio recorder that will record/playback in DSD format?
Thanks! That seems like a little bump up in technical skill from this project! haha
That's a great project! I was looking for something like that (hardware controls for Vulumio) to use on my own project of converting a vintage tape deck into a multimedia player (the main elements would be just like yours - Raspberry Pi 4B + 4 inch capacitive screen + buttons + a DAC card). I am wondering whether you can control more player functions if you add more buttons (e. g. Shuffle On/Off
, Repeat Togle, Navigation Back/Fwd)? Also, is that possible to use the same controls running other players, e.g. Tidal app on android?
add an external headphone jack, if u use a 4 pole jack the plug detection should still work too
Thanks for the great project. Is there a link to check out the code required and wiring schematics? I’d like to try building this but also with some buttons and an RFID card system to play specific tracks and playlists. I love the ‘tactility’ as you say and would love to build a music player for my family that even my youngins can use.
Is there a kit for this?
So damn cool
Wow, that's cool!
Thanks Erik!
I’d like to know more about the seeker component. Was that purchased, salvaged, made?
I didn’t know Matt Damon was a maker. That’s pretty cool!
Very cool. Awesome job :)
absolutely awesome ideas and its cool using a Pi for all the things n' all, but didn't you want a dedicated AMP and DAC for better sound quality, if you're going to make an audio player from scratch?
Thank you! I am running audio through my system via the headphone jack. It's connected to a small mixer and studio reference monitors, so the amplifier section is taken care of. As for a third party DAC, I considered adding one and decided not to so I focus on the goal of the project which was physical control of the software. If I continue to develop this further it will definitely be something that is on the list.
was thinking of building something similar to this but I just need it to play sound effects, it also needs plenty of momentary buttons
Very nice indeed! Is there a place to get the wiring instructions for the hardware once I purchase the parts?
Nice project. Did you have to code anything specific for Volumio? Did you have to do some configuration on the software side?
Thank you! Yes, I did write code in python to read all of the controls and send data to Volumio. There is a link from the Element14 Community to the Github page. The link for the E14 page is in the description.
Where can I find those awesome tracks!
I was also trying to find theme, they sounded pretty good. Turns out I was able to find them On Kaleb's personal channel because he is apparently in the band. th-cam.com/play/PLcdU19-tEasu7BpBnscoF94gGiVmaUPiK.html
thinking of making this for my car. would it be possible to add a triggered rear view cam to this?
Very nice project.
But i have a question about your third hand soldering station.
Where do you buy it ?
Thanks
Thank you! It's a PanaVise 201, and the base is called a "quadhands".
Very cool!
Brilliant
16:05 niiiiiiice
I want to make this and I want to make this now.
That is such a cool build, keep up the good work.
Yes Very cool you inspired me a lot
Awesome, glad to hear it!
Does somebody know if you can buy something similar to this? And no, i would not be able to build it myself. Does not even need to be this good. I was looking for a while for a simple music player with integrated storage and a nice big screen to show me what music i am playing.
What does the tattoo on your left front-arm mean to you? (the Spiral). I have a similar one (I got from a vision/dream). So would be interesting to know.
That is a "Bass Clef" used in written music. It used for instruments that play low pitched notes, such as a bass guitar, trombone, tuba, and many more. It is also used for the lower notes in keyboard instruments.
@@CharlesKurak Interesting.....
I don't know much about the symbolism in music, but I have learned that similar to life, music needs 2 apposing forces to "purify" the sounds (music) and take it to a higher level.
My tattoo has only one dot on top, not 2 and the meaning I got from it back then, was that it symbolised the transition of Spiritual substance from a lower to a Higher level. Outwardly appearing as Judgement and inwardly being Mercy.
*In actually it was simply the Symbol of Pure Mercy.
So it is interesting to know that Low notes might play the Role of being an obstacle for the high notes in order to purify them and take the Music to a Higher Level, revealing it's mercy (Higher form) to the one paying attention.
awesome
The adafruit capacitive touch board. How was it used in the project?
Just a single channel, on the motorized fader. When it is touched, it senses and stops the motors so the fader can be moved without the motor.
Why would you make a music player so large?
Tactility.
It's static at my desk, the size was not really a consideration during this build.
Not to disrespect your project, but for those who can't do all those wiring, I think an easy solution is to buy a slightly larger tablet and have it constantly connected to the player.
Hi, What 3D software are you using? i'm trying to find one that suitable for beginners.
He is using Autodesk Fusion 360. I find it pretty easy to use, but it wasn’t the first CAD software I used.
Does it also work with the pi 3
Bass clef tattoo on the forearm. Bass player?
Yes sir. I play bass on the demo track at the end of the video.
@@kalebclark5826 Enjoyed the track very much, excellent rhythm section..
Could you have built this with a Pi 3 ? Or does it need the 4?
Pi 3 should work just fine. I wanted to go with a 4 because its such an awesome upgrade. Also may do some encoding on it in the future.
Everyone loves to remove the film. See that unblemished screen. Satisfying. ? I leave mine on. Forever. Then if I part with it, the new owner gets a clean screen. That's just how I roll. Take that world!
What are you using for software?
Volumio is the base software for playing music. Great distro!
Thanks Matt Damon, for the video!
You are most welcome TheManShel! hah
Could have made it look like WinAMP.
this guy used fusion 360 (comment for myself)
This is cool as fuck boi
Hi Kaleb, can we connect on email please
That "w/" thing is very annoying.
May I ask... Why? :>
Making language more cryptic is a bad idea in general. In this case, it only saves you 2 letters, which is ridiculous. Screen reading also does not work.
