License

Recording robot to record from Spotify to Sony MiniDisc recorders featuring S-Link port. An ESP8266 is used to serve the control web interface that take care of coordinating the start/stop/naming of the tracks.

An album or playlist can easily be recorded to an MD including the naming of the tracks/titles with just a few button clicks.

Installation

Prerequisites

Basic

  • ArduinoJson
  • arduinoWebSockets
  • spotify-api-arduino (foogadgets fork)
  • Sony_SLink (foogadgets fork)
  • MusicAlbumTOC (foogadgets)

Advanced user

  • node.js
  • Webpack (nodejs)

Preparations

Install Arduino IDE
Install Arduino libraries

 $> cd Arduino/libraries/
 $> git clone https://github.com/foogadgets/spotify-api-arduino.git
 $> git clone https://github.com/foogadgets/Sony_SLink.git
 $> git clone https://github.com/foogadgets/MusicAlbumTOC.git

Tools -> Manage Libraries etc.
Search for ArduinoJson and install the package.
Search for arduinoWebSockets and install the package.

Install the slinktool code in your workspace,

$> cd <your workspace>
$> git clone https://github.com/foogadgets/slinktool.git
$> cd slinktool/

Install node.js environment for the slink project

 $> cd html-generator/
 $> npm install
 $> npm run build
 $> ./gen_compact_index_file.sh
 $> cd ..

Note that the following commands need to be run after any change in the JS- or HTML-files.

 $> npm run build
 $> ./gen_compact_index_file.sh

Start Arduino IDE and open slinktool.ino

Go to menu Arduino -> Preferences and paste following,
Additional Boards Manager URLs:
http://arduino.esp8266.com/stable/package_esp8266com_index.json Press OK

Go to Tools -> Board -> Boards Manager…
Search for esp and install esp8266

Go to Tools -> Board -> ESP8266 Boards -> LOLIN(WEMOS) D1 R2 & mini

(på OS X behöver man installera egen python3. Det gjorde jag med hjälp av Homebrew. Homebrew kräver dessutom Java JDK samt att jag behövde justera sökvägen till python3 i espressif i filen platform.txt)

Update the wifi credentials in Credentials.h

Build and flash to LOLIN(WEMOS) D1.

Build and upload sketch to your LOLIN.

Using SLink Tool

Browse to http://slinktool.local/
Main page,

To be able to automatically populate album and track data and to automatically record from Spotify you need to be a Spotify Premium user.

Login on this page, https://developer.spotify.com/dashboard/login

  1. Create an App App name and description is not important.

  2. Go into you new App and add a redirect uri by pressing "Edit Settings" add "http://slinktool.local/callback" as a Redirect URI and Save

  3. Go to http://slinktool.local/login and feed in you Applications Client ID and Client Secret and click Login and click the link.

Now continue to, http://slinktool.local/

Step 1 and 2 is only needed to be done once.
Step 3 need to be done every time the ESP8266 is rebooted.

Enjoy!
