The Bluetooth Minidisc Remote will be a remote for portable Sony MD players that also transmits their audio over Bluetooth.
Status
- 2023-08-22: Started putting ideas together after getting back from a trip where I used a Bluetooth transmitter dongle connected to an RM-MC11EL a whole bunch.
Design Goals
- Same basic functionality you'd have on a regular Sony remote, though with an OLED screen
- Ability to remap buttons, if you want to use it with different portables or you want different controls in different places
- Ability to lock ("hold") all the controls except volume, since I've always wished remotes allowed this
- Bluetooth audio transmission to BT Classic endpoints (A2DP SBC)
- Ability to play/pause the MD device via the play/pause button on the Bluetooth receiver
- Transmitter will stop sending audio when nothing is playing (rather than sending silence like 3.5mm BT transmitters do)
- At least 8 hours of battery life on a charge hopefully (since with Bluetooth and an OLED, the remote will need its own internal battery)
- Custom 3D-printed enclosure that will hopefully not be that much bigger in L/W than the flat rectangular remotes for Kenwood portables, though will be a bit thicker because of the amount of stuff I'm trying to fit in
Design Overview
- Cypress 343026 module for MCU (built-in Cortex-M3) and Bluetooth Classic
- Fujitsu ELW2106AA OLED display
- DA7218 codec chip?
- Internal battery, charged via USB-C
