2nd hacked sound book is ready! Since last post I lost all files, deleted by mistake 😭
I was very close to definitly stop the project, but changed my mind because it's been years I was dreaming about such hacked book. So back to CAD design and arduino code to start again from scratch!

I'll spend a few more days on the tutorial and online repo, then I'll probably have a break with this time consuming project 😅

🥳 yeah, it works great!

Next steps: the lid, a video, a tutorial, and to finish all files and codes available on a repo online!

And the circuit prototype is now working perfectly to play sounds/music when the buttons on the book are pressed.

Using Wago connectors is great for this kind of project!

Here are the main parts:
- Xiao ESP32C3
- MP3 mini dfplayer
- Wago connectors
- Speaker (added later)
- LiPo battery (added later)

💡 Here's a trick I use for my electronic prototypes, and especially with my **hacked sound book** project : I use Wago connectors.

And it works with almost everything:
- jumper wires
- components with legs (like LED and resistors)
- even with flexible printed circuits (see next post)

Look at these cute little 3d printed holders for electronic modules (xiao ESP32C3, MP3 mini dfplayer, LiPo battery and speaker)! Made with @FreeCAD   

✅ The CAD part of the **hacked sound book** project is now done.

After measuring the thickness of the last page of the book, I created a computer-aided design (box + lid) with OpenSCAD to replace it. Now it is parametric, easy to open, easy to use with electronics modules, and ready to be 3D printed !
