I created a really cool Spotify player by mounting an Amazon Echo Dot into a Walnut and Birdseye Maple case that I built. I put an esp32 microcontroller and a NFC reader (RFID-RC522) inside it running some code I wrote to use the Spotify API. Then I placed NFC tags on some old CDs so now I can play those CDs on Spotify by simply sitting them on top of the box.
DetailsI wanted to find a clever way to use my old CDs that were just collecting dust because today I listen to all of my music via Spotify. I also had some NFC stickers laying around just waiting to be used for something. And like that, a new project was born. All that was missing was an understanding of the Spotify API which did not take long to learn. I wired a NFC reader (RDID-RC522) to an esp32 microcontroller and wrote some code to call the Spotify APIs to play music on an Echo Dot. The final piece was a cool case to wrap it all up. Check out my videos below for all the details.
