- Computer for running the software. Can be a simple SBC like the Pine64. Testing on a Raspberry Pi 3 has not been successful yet. Can also be a regular desktop / laptop computer.
- Speakers for audio output. Can be any combination of speakers distributed across a room. But preferably the speakers are identical, simple (cheap) speakers. For instance Trust Leto has been tested and works well. It's recommended to use speakers that do not need a button to be pressed after power comes back on and that 'save' their volume setting, so behavior is consistent after turning power off and on again.
- Sound Cards for translating the digital sound into analog signals. Can be very simple and cheap USB sound cards, like you can find here. You will need 1 sound card per 2 speakers.
- USB Hub for connecting all the sound cards to the computer. If you have more USB sound cards then USB ports in your computer, you will also need a (powered) USB Hub. For SBC computers it is recommended to use one specifically designed for them, like this one.
- Audio extension cables for connecting the speakers to the computer. Probably the speaker audio cables will not be long enough, so you will need audio extension cables.
- Power sockets or power cable extensions for the speakers. Every set of speakers needs a power socket. Either close enough to directly plug it in or you need a power cable extension. Depending on your speaker that can be a regular power cord extension or a USB extension cable. For USB powered speakers you will also need a USB power adapter like these.
TODO: write more about how to get started with an actual application.
