RaspBlaster project

Soo, im basically a coding noob from Denmark, i have no real experience with coding and GPIO pins and all this other voodoo.

But like with everything else i think looks cool i wanted to learn more about the Raspberry Pi, so i started out buying 2, one was used as an RDP client, and one for XMBC.

Since then i have played around with finished codes (since i cant code my self) trying to learn the basics about how linux works.
And i found Eric´s guide to Shairport and desided to make a Low-Cost boomblaster with airplay & internet radio.

All of this is very nice, but here is what i need to figure out.

Find following codes:

1. Turn RasPi into WiFI hotspot via 3G/4GLTE modem
2. Internet radio
3. Volume control
4. All of above have to work with Shairport and each other.

So far this is what i have done:

Bought:

• 5000mAh battery / solar charger - 30$
• USB Powered speakers with mini jack connection - 12$
• Cheap box with handle - 4$
• Raspberry Pi - 35$
• Huawei E180 - 0$ (Had it lying around)

Installed and tested:

• Eric´s guide to Shairport

I will keep updating this post with progress, but how-to´s will be posted separately.
