Jukebox

Abstract

This diploma work describes the design, implementation and combination of technologies both HW and SW needed to build and operate cross-platform jukebox. In the diploma work is done analysis of the hardware and software sides and description and justification of selected technologies. HW requirements are determined by device itself and especially because jukebox is designed as a touch-controlled device: ● Coin selector for acceptance coins. ● Touch screen LCD. ● IrDA remote control. SW requirements are determined by the requirements for a cross-platform solutions and preferences of open source technologies. Open source technologies are preferred from many reasons, e.g. qualitative, philosophical or financial. Preference for open source technology is also a determining factor for choice operating system on which the final product will be presented. And this operating system is GNU/Linux. A detailed description of selected technologies and solutions are described in the chapters about selected hardware and software, and later in the chapter about the detailed description of the implementation of the functional parts of the final product.
