I would like to retro-fit my 1970's pioneer turntable to be able to record onto a iPod or other USB device.
Contents
Operation
- Plug in USB stick or iPod
- Press record-pause
- Place stylus on a chosen track
- Signal level threshold trigger changes to record when the stylus hits the record
- Sound file is written onto the device
- Signal level threshold trigger stops recording after a few seconds pause (manual pause provided also)
Systems
- Power supply
- Analogue phono stage (requires ±12V DC)
- Stepdown power supply to give 5V± 3A from the main turntable transformer
Microcontroller
- Arduino NG AVR microprocessor board
Features
- ATmega168 AVR processor
- Digital <-> Analogue converter
- C library and compiler supplied as open source
Operating system
- No real operating system required
- Program to modify iPod's XML playlist file to add the newly created track to the playlist
