The purpose of this project is to take an old wallmount jukebox which is a remote for playing records from a remote computer, and have it play MP3s on a computer instead.

Update:

The Jukebox is working! It is connected to a Linux box through a serial cable, and can accept dimes and quarters to allow the user to press a button (or buttons) to play MP3 files on the CPU!

Refer to documentation for Bash Shell script code and other technical information at cdot.senecac.on.ca (will be posted soon)...
