In this video I make an incredible wooden Bluetooth Speaker. It's powered with simple electronics and a 10000mAh USB power bank. This gives the speaker 4x the battery life of a UE Boom!
The supplies and parts list is available here: www.kiwiworkshop.com/plans/wo...
As many parts of the speaker are made from wood as possible, including the speaker grills and volume knob. See the links above for the full supplies list and build plans.
Note that you will probably also need to wire up the USB D+ and D- lines for USB charging to work. The data lines are used by modern USB chargers (including fast chargers) to query the USB power bank about what type of charging it supports. I initially tested charging with an old USB charger for which just the 5V and GND wires were enough to make it work. After the video was released, I tried charging with newer USB chargers and discovered charging wasn't working. Easily resolved by wiring up the data wires too!
I also wrote a full blog post for this build which you can read here: www.kiwiworkshop.com/blog/how...

    • Kia ora, and thanks! Good to hear from another ex-pat, I've heard from a few in the comments on this channel and other social media. I did try with voice over videos but it was my "no talking" videos that have been much more successful and received positive comments about the video format. So figured I would keep going with that format, since they seemed to be better received by a general audience.

    • Thanks! I can only compare to a UE Boom 3, and to my ear, this speaker sounds better. I'm no audiophile, but I would describe the sound as richer and warmer. More than enough volume too. It would also be easy to upgrade to more expensive electronics and speakers. I kept the electronics basic to make it easy for anyone without electronics experience to complete the build.

  • 10:19 What was the point of the blue terminal block? Wouldn't it have been just as easy to solder the switch wires to the perfboard?

    @jimthesoundman8641@jimthesoundman8641 Жыл бұрын

    • It means the perfboard can easily be removed from the back panel and flipped over for servicing if required. Or to be replaced by another circuit if ever required. Also, I intentionally made all of the electronics modular in case I ever wanted to upgrade to higher power audio. But yes, if you were keeping costs to a minimum, you could solder the power switch wires directly into the perfboard.

  • 9:16 How did you decide on 82 ohms? Was that just trial and error?

    @jimthesoundman8641@jimthesoundman8641 Жыл бұрын

    • It was trial and error but I got reasonably close on the first attempt. I tried 120 ohms to start with which didn't work, then tried 82 ohms which did work. 100 ohms didn't work either so settled on 82 ohms. I suspect 82 ohms will work with most USB power banks. The additional current draw isn't an issue since the power bank has such a high capacity at 10000mAh. Another option would be to replace the resistor with a small circuit to drive a power LED mounted on the back panel. The current draw would still need to be about 60mA however to match the current draw of the 82 ohm resistor, i.e. I = V/R = 5/82 = 61mA.
