BlueBox

A simple daemon for using NFC events to trigger playing MP3s on a Raspberry PIs.

A simple web-interface is available on http://localhost:8888

This lets you add card-id/mp3 links tells you what is currently playing.

Requirements

• mplayer (it uses slave mode, so mpv is not ok)
• Some NFC hardware supported by libnfc (I used a ACR122U)
• nfc-eventd

Buttons

Connect simple push-buttons to PINs 16/18 to get pause/next-track functionality.

Install

Configure nfc-eventd with action like this, on insert:

   action = "curl http://localhost:8888/insert/$TAG_UID";

on removal:

   action = "curl http://localhost:8888/remove/$TAG_UID";

I used supervisord to start bluebox on startup and keep it running if it should fall over.

A sample config script for supervisord is in supervisor-conf.sample
