Simone Giertz has created a miniature version of it using the Arduino platform. The strings are made of conducting wires and work on capacitive sensing principle, whereas the ukulele-like sound is created through a piezo buzzer.

Web radio player using Arduino

WebRadio is an inexpensive web radio player designed by Vassilis Serasidis using the Arduino platform. It features high-quality stereo output and 14 pre-defined radio stations, which can be set/modified in the Arduino sketch. The Arduino sends a request to a WebRadio server through the ethernet module (ENC28J60). The ENC28J60 is connected to the webradio server, sends the request and waits for response from the server. The response will be the header information of the radio station followed by the audio stream (mp3, aac etc). The arduino gets the answer from the server and sends the received data to the VS1053B mp3, aac,
