Raspberry Pi Hack Turns The Ultra-Affordable Computer Into An AirPlay Receiver

22.05.13

Operate as an AirPlay receiver for Apple’s Wi-Fi audio streaming protocol , it turns out. Cambridge engineering student Jordan Burgess managed to convert one of the $25 open computers into an AirPlay receiver along the lines of Apple’s AirPort Express, using open source software, a USB Wi-Fi adapter, an SD card, a micro USB cable and the Pi itself.

The process for setting up the Pi once you have all the hardware ingredients is fairly simple, especially if you’re comfortable working with Terminal and with the basics of installing an operating system onto the Raspberry Pi. Still, this isn’t for users who aren’t comfortable outside of their computer’s standard GUI. But if you’ve got the time and the skills, you can save a fair amount using this version vs. others. Burgess estimates that the total build cost is around £30 ($48 U.S.), vs. $100 for the Apple TV or AirPort Express. Speakers with the tech built-in also cost well in excess of that on average.
