Technics RS-B665 Cassette Deck Remote Control

Browser-based remote control of a Technics RS-B665 Cassette Tape Deck using a Raspberry Pi with Node-RED and some relays.

Requires hardware hacking of the cassette deck - soldering a lead onto the control panel's main board connector and replicating the internal resistor chain to create appropriate REW/PLAY/FF/STOP signals to the deck.

See https://bit.ly/RS-B665 for full details.

I appreciate the Pi is overkill to control a few relays but it's already physically located with the tape deck as it's also streaming USB audio from a couple of other audio components too.

Also contained in the OPL directory is some Psion Series 3a OPL & shell script to connect wirelessly (via RS232-TTL-NodeMCU) to the Raspberry Pi and send R,P,F or S to REW/PLAY/FF or STOP the tape deck.

Requires 3-Link RS-232, 232/TTL converter and NodeMCU as AT-command/WiFi bridge to allow the 3a to talk to the Pi over the network.

See https://bit.ly/3aRSB665 for full details.
