Revision as of 22:58, 28 January 2007

I would like to retro-fit my 1970's pioneer turntable to be able to record onto a iPod or other USB device.

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
    • plug pack 12V 100mA
    • Split from it's case and wired in parallel on the AC side of the turntable's main transformer
  • Analogue phono stage (requires ±12V DC)
    • to be build on veroboard

Microcontroller

Features

Operating system

  • gcc, libc supplied and open source
  • No real operating system required
  • svn tree
  • bootloader supplied and open source
  • Program to modify iPod's XML playlist file to add the newly created track to the playlist

Main loop

  • boot up
  • USB device?
  • loop
    • yes-mount fs and open file descriptor
    • no-loop
  • set led to Red
  • loop
    • check A to D for signal input
    • check threshhold
      • begin recording
      • or
      • loop
  • begin recording
