Hi,
I would like to share with you my latest streamer project with volumio and some UI customization based on 2aCD project :
Case: chasis from old deck with a little adaptation;
Front panel: this is tailor made glass (cheap one simple glass) - then car wrap 100% black on the back of glass with rectangle space for screen (this is the moment where you need precision or use local car wrapping company ) and on the front of glass there is tinting film for car windows (to reduce contrast between screen and black frame).
Screen/display: 1920x480 ips 8.8inch from ali… 8.8 cal IPS 1920x480 60Hz 40 szpilki ekran LCD wyświetlacz z port micro USB płyta kontrolera do wyświetlania samochodów raspberry|Ekrany LCD i panele do tabletów| - AliExpress
Inside: RPI4 + volumio and custom UI
Costs (but please notice - this prices are from my country which is Poland and my own experience, each region could have diferent prices, except pi2aes - it cost now 2021.02.07: 150$ without shipping):
- chasis (old and used one): 10-20eur
- glass front with wrapping: 25-30eur
- rpi4: 80-100eur
- screws and slats for fixing the screen, connector, cables: 5-10eur
- screen/display 70-80eur
- volumio: free
- hard work (ok maybe not necessarily hard but own
), some programming in css, couple changes in setup, patience: only time and frustrations
In summary minimum setup = 190-240eur
- optional linear power supply: 100-200eur
- optional good quality hat (cheapest starting from 40eur; in my case it is pi2aes PI2AES - PRO AUDIO SHIELD - Pi2 Design): 150-250eur
so extra/additional/optional version = 250-450eur
Summary:
Total minimum version: 190-240eur
Total with optional components: 440-690eur
