An MP3 Player That’s Not Much Bigger Than An SD Card

That's right. The good folks at Hackaday has posted about a home-made MP3 player that is so tiny, it could be crushed by quite possibly a fingertip. The player's uses a VS1011 MP3 decoder that also has it's own stereo headphone-driver on the chip. Being so compact, it would seem that most of the 4k of program memory on the PIC 18LF88 is being used, but such is life for a tiny device. It may be display-less, but then again, this can be made by most anyone with decent board fabrication and soldering skills. Go ahead, treat your relative's to a nice home-made toy. Bundle it up with a home made Christmas card and you've got yourself, well, a poosibly not-so-merry Christmas at home. This is when you remind them that it's the thought that counts. via hackaday
