In the project's boundaries Raspberry Pi Home Media Center develops several compact open hardware devices for organizing the work of a home media center. The devices are based on a Raspberry Pi Zero board, coupled with a digital-to-analog converter, which allows for high-quality audio output. The devices support network connection via Wi-Fi or Ethernet, and can be controlled via a remote control. Circuits and wiring of printed circuit boards, as well as models for housings published licensed under GPLv3. Code for using a D/A converter with a Raspberry Pi board open licensed under GPLv3.
Device Louder Raspberry Pi notable for the use of a TI digital-to-analog converter TAS5805M with built-in amplifier D-class, capable of providing network audio output to speakers with a power of 22 W per channel. The device comes with an IR receiver for remote control, USB-C, Wi-Fi and Ethernet (Wiznet W5500 SPI). Dimensions 88 x 38 x 100 mm. Cost $35.
