My wife found an old Universum radio at a flee market. It did not really make a great impression anymore, so I decided to make it an Internet Radio. To do this I used a Raspberry Pi Model 4 and a HifiBerry AMP2. Additionally I needed an MCP3008 and a KY040 to control the radio. See yourself how this radio behaves like an old radio, including noise. But it can be controled via a pretty nice webapp.

Python Packages

• flask - for the webapp
• flask_fontawesome - to make the webapp awesome
• wtforms - to enable nice bootstrap forms
• adafruit_mcp3xxx - to control the MCP3008
• RPi.GPIO - to control the KYO40
• threading - to allow multiple channels controlling I/O
• pylast - to scrobble songs to last.fm

Please see the video below to see the radio in action:
