This project was inspired from the game series Fallout. The end product will look like a fallout 4 radio. The cool thing about this project is that it is a working prop. The microprossesor that I used is a Raspberry Pi Pico and I used Micropython. I am using an SD card to store all of the songs on it and I learned the hard way that I needed an amp. Since it is on a tiny processor that isn't used to handling such a powerful task, the music that plays has a lower quality sound to it which helps sell the vintage feel. This project is still a work in progress. The production slowed down when I needed to make the case for it.

Progress Update 1: I got a Raspberry Pi Pico and programmed it to play a song. The voltage isn't regulated so it is very quiet.

Progress Update 2: I bought an Amplifier module and hooked it up. Part name: PAM8302A.

Progress Update 3: I attached an SD card reader to the Pico and installed the entire fallout library on it. Songs are no longer playing off of the pico's storage, it is now playing off of the SD card.

Progress Update 4: I added a potentiometer to control the volume.

Progress Update 5: I added a button to the end. This will switch between the stations: Classical, Diamond City Radio, Enclave Radio, Galaxy News Radio, and Instrumental Jazz. Songs will now play randomly on each station and will repeat in a new random order.

Progress Update 6: 3D printing the case. Currently only the face plate and knobs. I would like to make the rest out of wood. I will update when I have the wood for it.
