Radio's Next Generation: Radii

Links to Radii Photos and Source
Link	Explanation
Pictures	This will take you to a page that includes many photos of the interior and exterior of the unit.
radii.pl	The main perl script.
stations_short.xml	A very stale station list. Will be updated soon. I have not refreshed it in months. For those of you who are familiar with internet radio, you know that these are moving targets (ip's change, stations drop, etc.).
setlcd.c	Must be used in conjunction with iolcd.c which can be found at Linux Focus. Note that the Linux Focus article also has a the nice LCD pinout diagram that I used to build my LCD cable. Compile like so: `gcc -o setlcd setlcd.c iolcd.c` Compilation will generate warnings (OK to ignore).
stationsList.pl	This is a perl script used to generate the xml station list by scraping it from err... other sources. Not uploaded yet. This is not necessary to run the system (I will get a fresh station list up here soon).
2enc3sw.osc	OOPic microcontroller code. Please see Savage Innovations for more information on the OOPic microcontroller development system. Code Needs some commenting. Yeah, I know, not linux but its cheap and easy! Maybe the pinball guy can help me get something going with Linux.

This is the placeholder for information pertaining to the Radii project as will be described in the November 2005 edition of Linux Journal. Details about the project will be placed here once the article is published but, here is the teaser from the Next Month section of the October 2005 issue of Linux Journal:

Internet radio doesn't have to tie you to the computer. Dan Rasmussen, Jon Morgan, and Paul Norton have updated a classic radio design with the ability to tune in Internet streams.
