Hear world music with RadioGlobe
We love this project by Jude Pullen. Raspberry Pi is added to a toy globe and tuned into internet radio stations. Spin the globe and find a radio station playing anywhere in the world. It uses rotary encoders to know exactly where the globe is positioned at any time.
