Does anybody sell Bluetooth Bakelite Button Boxes? http://www.johnwolff.id.au/calculators/BellPunch/PLUSBakelit...
For extra authenticity, there should be hiss (or a station) when the knob is sitting still and crackling when it is turning.
Well, he could have bought an actual wifi capable radio for around half the price of a Stream Deck. (Unless, of course, he already had the latter device.) It's an existing product.
It would not have been so fun. And all Internet radios I have seen so far have some features that irritate me. For instance volume is push-buttons instead of turning knobs.
Actually, the only interface I would have on a radio is two turning knobs, one for volume and one for channel.
Thats all. The rest could be some phone or PC setup like 'kingsuper20' suggested.
Too sad Apple never gave us a radio. I might have been an Apple customer if they had.

I’ve seen an 80 year old with partial dementia learn how to use an iPad from cold start in about 15 minutes.
It’s exhausting getting accessibility points communicated when there’s always a reply which is just an exception that proves the rule. “Oh iPad too complicated you say? Well one time I saw an example where that wasn’t the case.”

Those buttons look great, and this is a very thoughtful idea.
the solution involves buying a 100 euro product with 6 customizable buttons (cool product but expensive). Anyone know of cheaper alternatives for a keyboard buttonset (between 4 and 20 keys)? Probably standalone numpad (with customizable keys) comes closest but maybe someone knows better.

It's also worth looking into small ortholinear boards where you can do the same things, but the form factor is more horizontal or has more keys.

it's a neat project, but if the goal is simply to listen to nearby radio stations (rather than streams), the simple radio is peerless.

Yes, it looks really cool, expensive but cool.

or, you know, just a radio, a device that's cheap, reliable, fast, responsive, low power, potentially small/portable, fault-tolerant, and private and secure by default. it's a neat project, but if the goal is simply to listen to nearby radio stations (rather than streams), the simple radio is peerless.

Not nearby, that was the original problem.
as mentioned in your sibling comment, i also wish apple had given us radio functionality in their idevices. as i understand it, it was mostly a matter of providing an app and not disabling the hardware, at least in some if not all iterations of the iphone.
