To access both micro-usb charging port and SD card through original 30-pin iPod port hole I desoldered micro-usb connector from charging module and glued it on the corder of Raspberry Pi Zero.
Classic iPod mod with Raspberry Pi Zero and color screen. Suitable for OSMC and plain Raspbian install.

To access both micro-usb charging port and SD card through original 30-pin iPod port hole I desoldered micro-usb connector from charging module and glued it on the corder of Raspberry Pi Zero.
Installed Retropie/Emulationstation. Works with the same cli.sh script
Gonna start next project on Raspberry Pi 4 CM with good DAC and other features. Can be gaming console with the same internals.
Need experts in crowdfunding (to buy modules and develop PCB)
Rockbox is too slow for now. But ncmpcpp seems more promising for now. Script on github is updated for it.
And wow, it plays FLAC
Rockbox installed and playing music through bluetooth headphones. But interface is lagging. Tried ramdisking it. Now i'll try to make minimum gui install of Raspbian
Just compiled Rockbox firmware for Raspberry Pi. Gonna tune it for LXDE which comes with Raspbian
- Gather components
- Glue some black tape on edges of screen to reduce parasite lighting
- Use pictures from my Github to properly solder wires
- Desolder connectors from Creative Play! sound card. Solder USB D+ and D- to Rpi USB (check Micro-usb pinout). VCC and GND can be soldered to GPIo Header.
- Solder wires from Creative Play! to iPod's minijack
- Make a loop from GND on charge module through iPod's switch to Rpi's GND. VCC from charge module should connect to Rpi +5v
- Burn SD card with Raspberry Pi Imager (Raspberry Pi OS Lite)
- Follow instructions on Github to install script

has anyone tried with the new mangopi boards? they're better than even the pi zero 2 W and so so so much cheaper. which means this project could be completed for well under 100$ if its possible to use this board in leu of the pi zero w
This is awesome dude!
Have you seen the new Zero 2 that has been released today? That'd be great inside this.
Actually all i can think of is pushing Compute Module in there. It could be even more wise because Zero is too long
A CM4 would be the ultimate win with this! Designing your own carrier board to mount the internals to would be perfect.
Looks great! I love seeing the wiring inside and am impressed you got everything to fit. I was also smitten with Guy Dupont's take on this and you've inspired me yet again to pull out my old husk of an ipod and see if I can pull this off too!
Hi there! awesome project!!! Thanks for sharing, It looks promising :)
The wiring diagram for the click wheel in GitHub sounds familiar to me, I am glad you find it useful ;)
Well in this case, the schematic is comming from my webpage ( http://rsflightronics.com/spotifypod ) since I draw it :) I would appreciate if you could at least mention that in your credits or as source.

Hi!
I would like to ask you about wiring. Is the raspberry micro usb connected to the output of the TP4056 board? Is the output voltage of the TP4056 5V? So the input is 5V, the battery is 3.7V and the output is 5V? I saw a powerboost like this at Adafruit, but that is much more expensive than this TP4056.
