I have something similar to that too!
Mine is based on an R-Pi that I've got an RFID card reader hanging off, which triggers playback of music in Kodi (aka XBMC)
Here's a video demo I made ages ago of a very early version (before I learned how to capture the RFID reader prior to Kodi/XBMC grabbing it, which allowed me to eliminate the MK802 device): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kwyq2xqjHW0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kwyq2xqjHW0
My toddler loves it and thinks that the standard interface for playing music is to select a card from the magnetic board and swipe it against the reader.
As a special bit of fun, I've also cut open some cards and bit the RFID loop into a few of her toys. When she swipes them the appropriate theme tune plays.
I worked on the system recently to add a web interface to manage the playlists and cards, but I haven't made the code available on github yet. Though I do have a repo with the old version here: https://github.com/Fuzzwah/xbmc-rfid-music https://github.com/Fuzzwah/xbmc-rfid-music
- sleepychu 10y agoI've always wanted a big stack of record cover sized tokens that do this. Would love your latest code :-)
- scoopr 10y agoIs there a forum or a place where all you dad-hackers share and talk about your projects? I'm curious :)
- Fuzzwah 10y agoNot that I'm aware of, but based on the interest in my comments here I feel like there definitely should be.
- sleepychu 10y agodad-hackers.club registered for 1$. Anyone got recommendations for forum software that doesn't suck?
- scoopr 10y agoUnfortunately no, I believe ‘forum software that doesn't suck’ is a oxymoron. Most big forums that I follow have lately jumped to xenforo, which is commercial. Another option would be a Wordpress, with lax rules on posting, akin to how ludumdare.com is setup.
- sleepychu 10y agoCould potentially do something with github pages? Use jekyll to generate the site and then accept pull requests for new articles then something (HN?) for comments?
- TrevorJ 10y agoNo, but I'll definitely use the site! :)
- sleepychu 10y agoOK, I have a mailchimp signup form and a neat hot-air balloon from github! Sign up, and tell your Dads (and M{u,o}ms!). The plan will be to use gh-pages to allow people to submit articles (write-ups of neat dad-hacks) and then something like disqus for comments.
