Reddit mentions of Veho VSS-001-360 Rechargeable Pop Up Speaker For All Smartphones, iPods and MP3 Players

Cheers, it was for my daughter's school project. She's 9 y/o. She drew up the design and designed the pseudo logic. I helped her with the wiring and python.

EDIT: Because a few people have asked for the project code etc. I've added it below.

Setup

The latest official Raspbian Buster Lite (2019-09-26) was used on an old Raspberry Pi 1a and worked perfectly out of the box for me.

I used a Veho 360 M1 Portable Capsule Speaker connected to the main audio out jack, and powered from the secondary USB power output on an old Anker Astro3 10000mAh similar to this one. It runs the setup for about 12 hours between charges. Also these battery packs have the added advantage of being chargeable while still powering any connected devices. So the diorama can stay running pretty much continuously even if you move it about and reconnect it somewhere or have it out on display where theres no main power outlets. I though this would be the most practical option for my daughters school project as they will put it on display in a main hall (Also her teacher just told me this morning that he wanted to be able to take it easily into other classrooms because it was the best project he'd ever seen in the school :D).

To configure the scripts on the RasPi, make sure to install omxplayer first. e.g. sudo apt update && sudo apt install omxplayer. Then once you have the script and service files in the correct locations, install it as a systemd service that runs at boot with:

sudo chmod +x /scripts/apollo11_mission_tv.py<br />
sudo chmod 644 /lib/systemd/system/apollo11_mission_tv.service<br />
sudo systemctl enable apollo11_mission_tv<br />
sudo systemctl start apollo11_mission_tv<br />
```<br />
<br />
You can quickly check it's working with ```sudo systemctl status apollo11_mission_tv```. <br />
<br />
Then you should be able to reboot and have it start automatically. You will know it worked because with the TV control panel power switch in the off position as soon as the RasPi is powered on the stars and green button on the front will light up and then automatically switch off when the script starts. <br />
<br />
The images used for the cutouts were from google and can be found very easily. <br />
<br />

I also took the liberty of creating a nice GPIO wiring diagram for you fine people. So here it is:<br />
