This is the best summary I could come up with:
Today, we have another cool music-themed project to share — this one is known as the Kaboom Box, created by maker Cameron Coward.
Using our favorite microcontroller, the Raspberry Pi Pico, Coward brings an old Panasonic RQ-830S 8-track player from the 70s back into working order.
It even uses original 8-track cartridges — but instead of reading them for content, he’s added RFID tags to pull music stored locally on the Pico with a microSD card.
The images were printed on sticker paper and carefully placed onto the cartridge with the RFID tags tucked underneath.
A mount was devised to attach the LCD screen, RFID reader, and ElectroCookie prototyping PCB.
If you want to get a closer look at this Raspberry Pi project, you can find more details over at Hackster and see the Kaboom Box in action on Coward’s YouTube channel.
