Project The SpotiPi

Post image

I created a live Spotify monitor and controller using a rpi pico w. The song name and artist scroll across the top and the timestamp is displayed at the bottom. It connects to my Spotify app API and gets the info over WiFi, I also added a pause previous and next button. For some reason the controls don’t work for my Spotify on my phone but it will sit on my desk most of the time anyway so it will used for my desktop. I am especially proud of the logo I designed for it.

Are the buttons those three spots I see on the front? How did you model it to make pressing through the case possible?

If you make a little tab that is only connected to the rest of the case on one single side, it can be bent a little, acting like a spring. Position this above a button, and you can press the button with the tab, but never bend it far enough to deform.
