Tim's DFPlayer Plus Box

This is a box I designed to hold Tim's DFPlayer Plus that I have shared here: Tim's DFPlayer Plus

• This box is designed to hold the PCB and the Battery mod I have done on my Instructable here: Tim's DFPlayer Plus
• The battery mod is made from off the shelf parts and modules.

This is how it all goes together.

Switch

Once you have the Battery component all wired up.

• The first thing is to fit the switch.
• My switch only has mounting holes, they are not treaded.
• I have made a Switch_Retainer.stl so that the switch can be held in place by two M1.7x10mm self tapping screws.

Battery/Charging

Next place the rest of the Rechargeable Battery components.

• These I just held in place with some contact adessive.

Note

Have the Back_Pannel.stl to hand.

• The HW-107 Battery charger is fitted upside down, this is so the LEDs can be seen from the underneath.
• The HW-107 Battery charger does not have the USB socket extended.
• I had to make it so the whole HW-107 fitted flush with the Back_Pannel.stl.
• So when gluing it in place, hold the Back_Pannel.stl in position while is is set in place.

PCB

The PCB can now be fitted.

• Use four M1.7x6mm screws to hold it in place.

Note

The top of the Battery needs protecting from the component pins sticking through the PCB.

• Use some thick card or plastic sheet, and place it over the battery.

OLED

The OLED needs the OLED_Support.stl.

• Fix the OLED_Support.stl using two M1.7x6mm screws.

The OLED Display can now be fitted to the PCB.

MP3 Player

Plug the Fly-Lead from the modified DFPlayer Mini onto the the Header pin on the PCB.

• Then plug the DFPlayer Mini into it's socket on the PCB.
• Be sure to get the correct orientation.
• The SD Card should be facing the outside.

Side Panel

Fix the Side_Pannel.stl using two M1.7x6mm screws.

Back Panel

Fit the Back_Pannel.stl using four M1.7x6mm screws.

Top

To fit the Top.stl it may be best to hold the assembly up side down.

• First insert all five Button,stl into the Top.stl.
• Then fit the Top.stl to the main assembly.
• Use seven M1.7x6mm screws to hold it in place.

Knob

The Knob.stl should be a snug fit on top of the rotary encoder.
