Jukebox restoration project
« on: August 14, 2024, 01:29:45 AM »
I have a plan to restore this jukebox.

My current plan is to use a pi 5, with this screenhttps://www.pbtech.co.nz/product/SEVRBP0087/Raspberry-Pi-Touch-Screen-101-LCD-New-Kit-Pack-Com.

Questions though, I think I can install bullseye onto the 5 and run with that with juke blaster pro and run the songs off a hat NVMe card and the OS off an SD so that cards can be swapped.

Anyone see any major flaws here?

Pictures attached of the box and I/O card(connects via serial, formally was an Windows xp with a generic serial driver).

Hi, as far as I know Pi Jukebox only works with the raspberry pi 4 at the moment, see requirements bottom of this page:- https://jukeblaster.com/pijukebox.html

For a large box like that i would recommend you use an old pc or laptop with either our Pub Jukebox Or Home jukebox software, pi jukebox is better suited for small wall mounted projects.
