Upgrading a Sony MiniDisc So it Can Work with Bluetooth Earbuds

It’s so cool to see old personal tech that people still love being upgraded to work in the modern era.

I can’t imagine there are too many people who have a Sony MiniDisc player they are just dying to convert to Bluetooth buds. But that’s what makes this project especially sweet to me.

If you do have such a beloved player and want to upgrade it, this project requires: a Scosche FlyTunes Bluetooth transmitter module, a Pololu U1V11F3 voltage regulator, two ED8 audio transformers, a Microchip ATtiny13A microcontroller, and a handful of miscellaneous common components.

Here’s a piece on Hackster.io with a link to the project.
