ePaper PiPod MP3 music player
This is an MP3 player that uses an e-Paper screen instead of an LCD. This saves power, enabling a longer play time.
This MP3 player will play files for almost 5 hours using the standard 1200 mAh battery called for in the BOM.
The project is based on the one here: https://www.pcbway.com/project/shareproject/PiPod___Raspberry_pi_Zero_portable_music_player.html
That project is also written up on hackaday.io if you want details (search for "pipod").
NOTE: If ordering the case parts, keep in mind that you need to order a quantity of 3 of the side buttons. (Quantity = 1 for all other case parts.)
This project's github site is at: https://github.com/delhatch/PiPod_ePaper

I have not tried it. The Pi Zero has bluetooth, of course, but I don't know if software changes would be required, or if simply turning on bluetooth would work.
does pi zero get soldered on by me or is that included in assembled board? since i know what is put on it by assembler i haven't a clue what i need to do after receiving it.
The assembled PCB is shown in the figure below.
You will need to solder a Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W onto the PCB's header.
You will need to purchase the e-paper display and plug it in.
You will need to acquire the 3D-printed case and button parts.
Please refer to the github page at https://github.com/delhatch/PiPod_ePaper
Keep in mind that this is a project, not a product, so you will need to spend some time working on it.
thank you for the response. I was worried i would have to solder all the buttons etc on. If all i have to do is solder the pi then that is not to bad above my head. question tho, can't tell from pic if the header pins will be solder on the pcb already when i recieve it so buy a pi without the header solder on or if i should buy one with the header pins on the pi and i just need to solder it to pcb. so pi 2 w or pi 2 wh is my question.
this is a great project to work on plus i am an oldtimer so i have two versions of ipod but no bluetooth so this is great and doable i think if pcb is assembled.
So says to turn off Bluetooth but how long would battery last using Bluetooth? Want to listen via hearing aids and Bluetooth.
Since battery has plug end, could plug be added to pcb instead of soldering battery to pcb? Easier to replace battery in future. No clue what part numbers the would be but it’s an idea.
Hello. I have to consult the designer of that board, which is a suitable replacement. I'll be back as soon as I a´have the answer.
here is the alternative: IRLML6346TRPBF
Thanks for your quickly reply. We got it.
