Minimal Sound Board Client - Server

Allows you to play back soundbites over the network on your raspberry or any other computer with Network and Sound capabilities that can also run Python.

For the server part:

http://bit.ly/python-rest

in case you missed it, you will need web.py

sudo apt install python-pip
pip install web.py

This service, once started, will list the content of the /mp3 folder and transform the filenames into a JSon Array together with the associated images from the /static/images folder.

The Code is setup to display any .mp3 file as a tile that is represented in final product.png

The necessary fields are modeled in this class:

class anItem:
	def __init__(self, id, title, img):
		self.id = id
		self.title = title
		self.img = img

The actual MP3's are played using xmms2, here is how you can install it:

sudo apt install xmms2
man xmms2

To be able to run the python script, you must ensure that the file is executable:

chmod +x rest.py

After that you run it using:

./rest.py

For the client part:

we are going to use REACT.JS with BABEL-CORE and jQuery:

<script src="https://unpkg.com/react@15/dist/react.js"></script>
<script src="https://unpkg.com/react-dom@15/dist/react-dom.js"></script>
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/babel-core/5.8.34/browser.js"></script>
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.2.1.min.js"></script>

To build the frontend:

  • navigate to sound-biter/
  • run: npm install
  • run: npm start

if your default browser does not pop up, you can access:

http://localhost:3000

How To Use:

Start the server

Start the client

Add your mp3's and images here:

Adding mp3's to /mp3 folder will add new buttons:

server/mp3/I'm Mr. Meeseeks, look at me!.mp3

Adding an image with the same name as the mp3 to which it belongs, will display it on the button instead of the fallback image:

server/images/I'm Mr. Meeseeks, look at me!.mp3.jpg
