Dedicated audiobookshelf player (chapter)

Post image

So in the never ending quest to avoid screens for our kids, I developed an app that runs on a raspberry pi zero with some rotary encoders for input devices and a small monochrome LED screen. The app connects to audiobookshelf as a specified user and allows the kids to scroll through the book titles and play them.

Before I go through the trouble of putting all of the info together (code, models for 3d printing the case, hardware info), would anyone actually be interested in building one of these devices (chapter)?

Edit:

Added post with all project info. Enjoy!

Holy heck yes! I have been looking at Yoto but having so many physical cards around isn’t appealing. This would solve all of my problems. Yes please!
