Overview

by Tony DiCola
This project will show you how to turn an Arduino Yun into a soundboard that can be controlled from a webpage over WiFi. Prank your friends or coworkers by hiding the device nearby to remotely trigger sounds that drive them mad! Or keep the device on your desk ready to play just the right laugh track like you're living in an 80's sitcom!

Hardware

You will need the following hardware for this project:
  • Arduino Yun
  • MicroSD card with at least about 20 megabytes of space available.
  • USB audio adapter or USB speakers.
    • If using USB speakers, make sure both the audio and power are transferred over USB. Some USB speakers only send power over USB and audio over a 3.5mm jack--these won't work with the Yun! I had good results with this small laptop soundbar in my project.
Before you get started you will want to have your Yun connected to your wireless network, and be familiar with connecting to the Yun over SSH. Check out the following links for more information on these topics:

Onion Pi
Make a Raspberry Pi into a Anonymizing Tor Proxy!
by lady ada
Feel like someone is snooping on you? Browse anonymously anywhere you go with the Onion Pi Tor proxy. This is a fun weekend project that uses a Raspberry Pi, a USB WiFi adapter and Ethernet cable to create a small, low-power and portable privacy Pi. Plug the Ethernet cable into any Internet provider in your home, work, hotel or conference/event. Power up the Pi with the micro USB cable to your laptop or to the wall adapter. The Pi will boot up and create a new secure wireless access point called Onion Pi. Connecting to that access point will automatically route any web browsing from your computer through the anonymizing Tor network.
Adafruit 1.27" and 1.5" Color OLED Breakout Board
Big, bright colorful OLED
by Bill Earl
These big, bright displays measures 1.27" or 1.5" diagonal and have 128x96 or 128x128 RGB pixels. The OLED display technology gives you vivid, high contrast images and does not require a backlight. With16-bit resolution for each pixel, you can display a wide range of colors. The SSD1351 driver chip has a 4-wire SPI interface. We also include an on-board boost converter and built-in level shifting for compatibility with both 3.3v and 5v microcontrollers. A micro SD card holder lets you store bitmaps and other data. Our library includes example code to show you how!
Adafruit 1.44" Color TFT with Micro SD Socket
1.44" TFT Display with 128x128 Color Pixels
by lady ada
This lovely little display breakout is the best way to add a small, colorful and bright display to any project. Since the display uses 4-wire SPI to communicate and has its own pixel-addressable frame buffer, it can be used with every kind of microcontroller. Even a very small one with low memory and few pins available!
Mystery Box: Haunted Radio
Breathe spooky life into an old radio by adding a Feather microcontroller to read the dial and play mysterious sounds and music!
by John Park
Vintage radios can be beautiful, but many are beyond repair. Here's a guide to repurposing it as an eerie playback device that uses the original tuner dial, power knob, and speaker and grafts on a Feather ESP8266 Huzzah with Music Maker MP3 FeatherWing that can play creepy sound effects, and trigger a specific song when intrepid guests tune the dial to a specific frequency. Muhuwahahahahahaha!
