Hi, folks!
I am newbie here, so please forgive me if I choose the wrong forum board to post.
Definitely we need someone with experience with Raspberry Pi platform to create standalone hardware music player:
1. Small & compact size
2. Powered from Li-ion/Li-polymer hi-capacity battery, long work time w/o recharging and ability to charge from DC 12V (car lighter)
2. Color, fast-sensitive touch-screen to show music player
3. Wi-Fi b/g/n/ac, 3G (LTE in future) module and Ethernet jack for network connectivity (jack for external antenna(s))
4. Low-power FM-transmitter to provide covering 15-25 ft.
5. 5 Small hardware buttons to select stream in case with not able to read main screen
6. NFC to work with NFC tags
7. Bluetooth module to BT connectivity
By common words this player need proprietary software worked on Raspberry Pi platform, to play internet-streamed music, show track cover art, some on-screen service buttons, and for setup and transmit music by FM transmitter.
So we need engineer to choose properly modules for screen, network connectivity, FM transmitting, battery charging. And the better if the same person programming software player combined with device common settings.
If developers like that we need is not there we ask You pleasure to point us in a desired resource: forum, private company, etc.
Thank You for Your time and attention!
