the semester has ended some weeks ago, i forgot to post the progress in the last days, so here is how the cross and the station look like:

in the station, there is an arduino board connected to an easyradio transceiver, sending out the station byte every second, in the image, it would be a “two”.

in the cross, the arduino gets the byte and lets the yampp play back the according track. inside the cross, it looks like this:

further documentation will hopefully be online soon.

i managed to shorten the range of the easyradio modules by giving the sender no antenna at all and the receiver only a short one. now, the yampp is only activated within a range of 2,5-3 meters.

here’s how to connect a YAMPP III industrial MP3 Player to an Arduino Board.

and here’s how to get the serial data in via an easy radio module. the arduino just remembers which song has been played and prevents it from being played again. i do it this way, because the “stations” will repeatedly send out the byte for their Audiofile, and the yampp would start to play the song every time it receives the signal.

download the code here: CrossEasyradio.zip

yes. it works. thanks to marion. the Yampp III industrial receives serial Data at a rate of 2400 baud and plays the songs back!!!

Thanks monika for letting me have that baby ;-)

watch a movie (uncut, so low-bandwith viewers will find it a waste of time…)
