Hey everybody hope all is well and to tell you straight up this project ain't
finished, more or less getting started though!
meanwhile I have been planning on how far I want to take this!
so before adding all the bluetooth, better speakers, LED's and merely changing
a few colours here and there I thought about modifying the inside...
Now I know I said I want to keep this original but something strange
came through!!
Arduino Uno
Examples:
“I want to monitor my plants and have them Tweet me when they need water.†That can best be done by an Arduino.
*So I watched the Green Hornet movie that came out in 2011
*The Black Beauty has moveable headlights and all crazy armoury weapons
*The only thing that moves in a boombox is the tape player...
*What if I could use an Arduino to make a tape cassette insert itself from within???
*what?
* The Arduino is going to be programmed use a hydraulic cylinder which the cassette will be attached tomake it slowly come down and click itself in.
*Then hopefully I can also get the PLAY button to turn on after the tape lands
*This will indicate and let me know that the boombox is ON
*So when I switch it OFF, the tape cassette will return back up behind the VU lights and the PLAY button will be neutral.
Now I know by now that Japanese did not waste any space in their boomboxes and everything is
designed to work. So maybe I could lose the tape mechanism and that could probably give room for the
Arduino to do its magic*
​no its not gonna be easy, but bottom line it'll be worth it

Of course doing these kinda hobbies are very limited when you have a family to raise and a lifestyle to maintain
but I guarantee this is going to be something awsome & new!
