Hardware suggestion for school project

Post by blnkjns »

For demented elderly we want to make a device that can be loaded with WAV/MP3 files over ethernet/wifi, and allowing playback. Mono will do. It is important that audio files can be interrupted during playback, in a way a new file can start terminating a previous playback.
What is the simplest arduino/circuitpython like board/add on that can offer this?
I know a Raspberry Pi will also do, but we prefer a solution without full blown OS.

An ESP32 running CircuitPython should be able to do everything you need.

MP3 playback has gotten a lot easier now that the patent has expired and you can run the code legally. CircuitPython has existing modules that can play MP3s:
