Turntable USB interface

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

Operation

• Indicator light is off
• Plug in USB stick or iPod
• Indicator light is green to indicate all is well - iPod or memory stick is detected
• Place stylus on a chosen track
• Press button
• Indicator light is red for record
• You will also see the activity light on the USB device light
• Sound file is written onto the device in WAV/AIFF format
• Press button
• Recording stops and file is closed
• Indicator light is green
• You can press the button to begin recording again to a new file
• Unplug device (only when light is green - your risk if you unplug on red)
• Indicator light goes out

Systems

• Power supply
• Indicator LED and bezel
  • 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
• ICSP programmer required to completely rewrite the bootloader - AVRISP mkII

Microcontroller

• Arduino NG AVR microprocessor board
• Schematics

Features

• ATmega168 AVR processor
• Digital <-> Analogue converter
• C library and compiler supplied as open source
• AVR emulator
• AVR libC

Board

• 78MO5 voltage regulator
• FT232R USB to serial driver
• S16B0016 clock
• USB D-type connector

Operating system

• Implementing USB 1.1 in AVR assember
• gcc, libc supplied and open source
• No real operating system required
• svn tree
• bootloader supplied and open source
• libipod [tar] program to modify iPod's XML playlist file to add the newly created track to the playlist
• ContikiOS
• USB mass storage device class - fat
• USB Mass Storage host driver stack
