Now Playing Art Display

Forgot to mention it has on top 3 spots you can  touch:  left and right touch shortly for prev/next. Center is play/pause. Touching left and right longer changes volume of the speaker for example. Tried to keep it minimalist with just the basic controls. Any suggestions?

More information on the hardware/software ? 

Hi Stanley_4,

It runs on small embedded Buildroot Linux. The code for rendering is built in C for performance (OpenGL). Server code and renderer are local on the same board. For setup like wifi provisioning (BLE), adding services, changing settings, a React Native app is responsible to make it very easy.

 The display is a 108 * 108 dot resolution custom solution. Auto dimming via sensor (a must in my opinion for different ambient light situations) is built in. All in all a minimalistic object that integrates pretty well in a lot of environments I think. The outer bezel can be customized. It was done for personal use the way I like it.

That is cool... Needless to say I want one!

Thank you User117655! 

I wanted in the first place a square object, just like Album art. Not a rectangular display. Visible from across the room to appreciate. It has 14 inch outside dimensions.That was the main motivation. 

No music playing?...shows time with sliding numbers. 3 different designs can be selected.

Similar to this?

Hi Bruce,

Tuneshine! Very nice. They share a low resolution way of displaying. The designs, regarding bezel, display size, are certainly different. Not an external server required also. Standalone.

Will you open source it in any way? Or sell it, maybe?

I understood the made for yourself side of the project, though :)

Hi ebosk,

If there's demand I might sell it. Complete product.

Best.
