This will be my first project and I thought I would jump in head first. I am planning on building a mobile for my unborn baby (due mid-February) and would like to incorporate music, motor control and possibly lighting. As with everything else I do, I want to go big, so I will be building a full blown audio player (not fully controllable however) drawing my inspiration from the MP3 Belt Buckle tutorial. Based on pricing and technology available (nearly 2 years later), these are the main parts I am looking at currently:
I have already begun work on the schematic but will probably have blown some of it and even though it is not yet complete I'm sure there will have been things I'm not even thinking of due to inexperience. Any and all help will be very useful, especially on my somewhat tight schedule.
- NXP LPC1758 Cortex-M3 - the brains
- VLSI vs1053b - decode music files and output audio
- STMicroelectronics L298N - drive motor (Tamiya 6-speed gearset kit)
- SD/MMC slot - memory for files
- USB miniB connector - file upload and programming
- 3.3v, 2.8v, 1.8v regulators - for various ICs
