As an evolution of my first art deco web radio project, I have used a short cut for audio output. Instead of an mp3 board and an analogue amplifier, an I2S MAX98357 module is used. While only mono, a much better speaker is installed.

Hardware:

• ESP32 board (Node32s)
• 1.44" TFT Display ST7735
• I2S MAX98357 Audio Amplifier module
• Visaton VIS FR 10-4 Speaker - 10cm Diameter, 4 Ohm
• KY-040 Rotary Encoder, 2x
• Rotary Switch 2x4

3D Drawings:

• FreeCAD, stl and gcode files for 3D printer and CNC mill.

Build:

• The design of the enclosure is based on the Philco 45C radio from 1935
• The enclosure is made out of MDF, thin birch plywood, walnut and maple veneer.
• All parts were milled on my Sainsmart CNC 3018 PROVER
• For the finish I used shellac
• Th knobs and the bezel are 3D printed
