My New Jukebox

<< < (3/3)

Frostillicus:
This makes me want a jukebox ;)  Good job - that looks like it would be a fun project.  And the remote is a nice touch, too.

BobA:
Thanks for the good comments.

To answer a few questions and keep from answering them again here is a little faq.

1.  Do you use the Creative IR or your IR port on the MB.

I use the Creative IR receiver but the IR chip has been removed from the PC board and extended so that I could put a small hole in the bottom center of the bezel and mount the IR receiver chip there.

2.  How do you control the flourescent lamp?

The flourescent lamp does pulse with the music.  This is built into the lamp mounting assy and I do not know how it works with the flourescent.  It is a 12V computer mod unit that has it all built in and connects to a HD power plug.

3.  How do you control the Creative IR?

It is controlled by a great program called Girder.  The program supplied by Creative did not work for this application and Girder is very good and free.

What is the top curved piece made of?  It's hard to tell from the pics...

BobA:
The front of the top piece is solid pine.  It is cut into the arch shape and routered to give a rounded edge.  Behind that is a slightly smaller mdf piece with cutouts for the marquee and speakers.  The marquee is mounted to this by sandwiching it between 2 pieces of lucite and fastening the lucite to the back of the mdf.  The mdf is slightly smaller so that I could top the arch with tin and the front piece hides the edge.  The back of the top is a matching piece of mdf that the flourescent screws into.
