Overview

You can turn the Internet of Things into the Internet of Tunes! With this easy-to-build project you can use online events to trigger your favorite songs.

The Feather ESP8266 Huzzah is a WiFi connected board that can use the Music Maker FeatherWing with amp to play music at your command. Using the Adafruit IO service, a small bit of Arduino code and IFTTT (If This then That), events such as Twitter mentions, weather reports, YouTube uploads, news alerts, and more can trigger songs to play that you have stored on the included SD memory card.

Build It

There are endless possibilities for you to create a sweet enclosure for your connected Feather, FeatherWing, and speaker. We've included this lovely little cardboard box for just this purpose. You can decorate it, cut it, modify it, bedazzle it, and make it your own!

This is just one way to get your system set up for WiFi enabled playback. You can modify this to suit your needs, such as adding the breadboard, IR receiver, and potentiometer for volume control. It's as simple as marking and cutting the cardboard with a hobby knife and then mounting your parts.

Decide where to mount your speaker.

Mark the position with a pencil.

Cut inside the lines a bit for a snug fit.

Pop in your speaker.

For an extra secure build, use the supplied screws and nuts.

Poke a hole through at each corner.

Push the screws through, and then secure the nuts on the other side.

Insert the USB cable into the box through the side flap as seen here. You'll use it to program and power the Feather.

NOTE: Due to fluctuations in the organic, artisanal cardboard box harvest, your box may look different than the one pictured here. It is fine to modify yours as needed to route the wiring, such as the one seen in the last picture here.

Wire the speaker to the screw terminals of the Music Maker MP3 FeatherWing, and tighten the screws.

If you're mounting the Feather HUZZAH to the breadboard, do so now. You can also go breadboard-less.

Whether or not you use the breadboard, you'll want to insert your SD card. Make sure you can remove it easily for adding files to it later.

Fit the Music Maker FeatherWing onto the Feather HUZZAH.

Now, you can close up the box.

The USB cable can be used both to program and power the device. To power it from a wall outlet, plug it into the provided 5V transformer.

Feeling fancy? Great, me too! Decorate your player with the provided collectible enamel pin!!

You can also get super duper fancy and use different speakers and boxes for your WiFi Music Alert Box, as seen here.

Code It

There are three areas to "code" for this project.

First, we have the Arduino code that'll run on the Feather board.
Second, we have Adafruit IO feeds and dashboard to configure.
And lastly, we'll go to IFTTT.com to set up applets that can trigger the Adafruit IO feeds.

Arduino Code

The program running on the Feather is pretty simple. It is adapted from two sample sketches. One that plays music using the Music Maker FeatherWing, and another that connects the board to WiFi and waits for commands from Adafruit IO.

First, make sure you're familiar with the setup and coding of the Feather board, by going through this guide and connecting to WiFi successfully.

Next, become familiar with playing MP3s with the Music Maker FeatherWing by following the setup in this guide.

Now, you're ready to download the Music Alert Box code and configure it to your needs.

Download this file and then unzip it and move the directory into your Arduino sketch folder.

MusicAlertBox.zip

The sketch contains two files. First, we'll look at the config.h file. Here, you need to change the IO_USERNAME to your Adafruit IO username, and the key to your Adafruit IO key.

You can find more info on this here.

Once you've made these changes, save the file.

Copy Code

/************************ Adafruit IO Config *******************************/

// visit io.adafruit.com if you need to create an account,
// or if you need your Adafruit IO key.
#define IO_USERNAME  "your adafruit io username"

// comment out the following two lines if you are using fona or ethernet
#include "AdafruitIO_WiFi.h"
AdafruitIO_WiFi io(IO_USERNAME, IO_KEY, WIFI_SSID, WIFI_PASS);


/******************************* FONA **************************************/

// uncomment the following two lines for ethernet,
// and comment out the AdafruitIO_WiFi client in the WIFI section
// #include "AdafruitIO_Ethernet.h"
// AdafruitIO_Ethernet io(IO_USERNAME, IO_KEY);

Next, you'll change the MusicAlertBox.ino file to include the names of the .mp3 files you're using. Be sure to copy these to the SD card, and keep the names short (eight-dot-three format is a safe way to go). The names must match exactly between the files and their callouts in the code.

}

Save and then upload the sketch to your Feather ESP8266 Huzzah and test it out. You should see the board connect to your WiFi network by checking the serial monitor.

Adafruit IO

Now, we can set up Adafruit IO to act as a WiFi connected playback UI for the Feather and its songs.

The Adafruit IO Basics: Digital Input guide is an excellent place to start to get an understanding of how the system works. Familiarize yourself with the guide, and even try out the example to get started. Then, we'll modify the feeds and dashboard for our needs.

For the WiFi Music Alert Box we'll set up three feeds: Song, Volume, and Pause.

Create the Song Feed

Start by creating a new feed Named Music Alert Box Song. If you need help getting started with creating feeds on Adafruit IO, check out the Adafruit IO Feed Basics guide.

Edit the feed to adjust the key name if needed -- this is the name that will be used by the Arduino sketch to interact with the feed. In this case, the key is set to music-player-01-song. You can see this in the Arduino sketch where it says:

Copy Code

// set up the 'song' feed
AdafruitIO_Feed *song = io.feed("music-player-01-song");

Create two more feeds, Music Alert Box Volume, and Music Alert Box Pause. Each of these will be used to handle different kinds of data. use the key names seen here.

Dashboard

Create Dashboard

In order to assign meaning to the feeds you've created, make a new Dashboard called Music Alert Box. If you need help getting started with Dashboards on Adafruit IO, check out the Adafruit IO Dashboard Basics guide.

Create Song Blocks

Create a new block that will play a song when clicked. For this, you can use a momentary button block.

The pop-up window will ask you to select to which feed to connect the button. In this case, we'll choose Music Alert Box Song feed by clicking the group/feed checkbox for that line, and then click Next Step.

In the Block Settings window that pops up, you can name the block, adjust the button text to the name of the song you want it to trigger, and give the Press Value a number that correlates to your Arduino sketch if statement. You can delete the Release Value, we won't use it in this case, and then click Create block

Your dashboard will now have an on button on it. Click it and your song will play!

Add more buttons to correlate to each song, and then you can arrange them by clicking the gear icon on your dashboard.

Create Volume Slider

You can create a slider element to control the volume.

For this block, select the Music Alert Box Volume feed.

Adjust the block settings in the next popup window to match these.

Test this out -- now as you play back songs you can adjust the volume.

Pause/Play Block

For fun, let's set up a block that can pause and play the songs! Create a new toggle block.

Choose the Music Alert Box Volume feed.

Use the title Pause/Play to label the block on the UI. Set the On text to 1 and the Off text to 0. These are the values that will be sent to the Feather when the block is clicked.

Stream Block

Lastly, we'll create a data stream block. This will allow us to see the values flowing from our button presses to the Feather.

Select all three Music Alert Box feeds.

Place the data feed block where you like. Now, you can see updates as your feed data changes.

If This then That - IFTTT

The third part of the setup is to trigger the songs using Internet alerts via IFTTT applets. These can be any of hundreds of possible triggering services! For example, Twitter, Date & Time, Flickr, YouTube, just to name a few.

If you haven't already, create an account on IFTTT.com

Once you have logged in, click on your user profile and choose, Services from the drop-down menu.

Click on "All service", then type "Adafruit" into the search bar, and then click on the Adafruit service icon.

Click the big, huge Connect button. Because how can you resist?

If you are logged into your Adafruit.com account, you'll be asked to authorize the IFTTT connection. (If not, you need to first log into Adafruit.)

Now, back in IFTTT, you can create a new Applet. Click on My Applets and then click New Applet.

Click on the +this link.

Pick the Date & Time service.

Choose the Every hour at trigger

Leave it set to 00 and click Create trigger.

That takes care of the if this, so on to the then that. Click the +that link.

Type adafruit into the search, then click on the Adafruit icon.

There's just the one option, Send data to Adafruit IO.

From the dropdown for Feed names, pick Music Alert Box Song. This tells the action to send data to that Adafruit IO feed. Then, type in a 1 in the Data to save field. This is the number of the song you want to play on the hour. Then click Create action.

Click Finish because you're all done!

You can check that all of the connections between services are working properly by clicking the applet to expand its info, and then click Check now.

Use It

Now that you know how to set up an IFTTT applet connected to Adafruit IO service, you can make many more triggered by anything that's available, from social media mentions, to stock market fluctuations, to smart home sensor, and even voice commands from Amazon Alexa.

Feel like going bit more mobile with your Music Alerts? You can add a battery to your project, such as the 2200MAh LiPoly seen here. As long as you're in WiFi range, you can take your IoT tunes from room to room of your house or office.
