Favorite Project

For this first week of 2018, our favorite project is the Tivoli Online Onion-Powered Radio made by Carl Bergan. He up-cycled an old Tivoli radio by adding an Omega2 and an ATtiny85, and it now plays music from the internet!

Carl left the outside intact and even reused the AM-FM-OFF knob to select between web radio, airplay, and, well, off. The inside is where all the magic happens, with the ATtiny detecting the position of the knob and instructing the Omega via serial on what tunes to blast through a USB sound card. Check out the Hackster post for all the details.

Awesome work, Carl! We love how you used the Omega to bring an older device up to speed in 2018!
