This is the Juuke box. The Juuke box is your own musical friend, made to be as easy as possible to use. It is especially designed to be used by elderly and kids, but can of course be used by all other ages. The reason we created this, is because of my girlfriend's grandmother.
She told me that her and her grandma sitting in the kitchen, listening to music, dancing and laughing. Sadly, through the last years, her grandma has been in and out from hospital. On her worst days, however, music is one of the few things that still makes her smile. And music players like CD players are just too hard to use for her. That’s why we created the Juuke.
The Juuke Box works by using RFID cards to play specific songs from an SD card. You could also play the songs randomly using the green button, or play and pause with the red button.
saw this cool project a little while ago right here on Instructables. The author Ananords created an RFID music player that could be used by children or people who might not have the capacity to be able to operate a normal mp3 player/device. The original project is called Juuke can be found here. He created this project for his girlfriend's grandma and it is the perfect project to make for someone with Alzheimers or Dementia. This bit really hit home for me, as I lost one of my grandparents to this awful illness and I know that she would have loved something like this.
The basis of the project is that the player has two buttons, one to play/pause the music and one to shuffle all of the songs. You can also select an RFID card and place it on the reader to play that particular song. It therefore takes some of the nostalgic parts of listening to music (like choosing a physical CD or cassette to play) and combines them with new technology making it accessible for those with certain needs.
Even though my Oma (Grandma) is no longer with us, I still wanted to make the project and when my parents were cleaning out some old things from their house, I came across my mum's old cassette player, and thought 'this is it'! I've used the cassette player as the basis for my very own Juuke. I put together everything as per Ananords' instructions and it all worked well, but I had a couple of other ideas that I wanted to incorporate including:
The ability to play an entire album from one RFID card,
The ability to skip to the next song,
The ability to play a 'side B' of the card, just like the side B of a cassette tape, and
Utilising the same amount of buttons, but incorporating long/short press functionality.#Eurodac: Strafverfolgungsbehörden wollen Zugriff auf #Fingerabdruck DB von #Asylbewerbern https://t.co/2Gn7w4Ry Ach dafür war der #RFID da
