Integración de un sistema basado en la plataforma Raspberry Pi para la reproducción de Radio Quántica (radio estudiantil online de la EPN).

Abstract

The present dissertation is for a prototype of a broadcasting module that plays content of Radio Quantica, the National Polytechnic School campus radio. This is a responsive web application linked to the radio official website, which allows the configuration of certain settings of the module such as play, pause and timing, using the Raspberry Pi platform. This web application uses Firebase, a Google platform, as its hosting, and due to the real-time data base and the capability to connect to the internet, it allows to update and verify the module parameters remotely from anywhere in the world. This document is divided into four chapters. Chapter 1 develops the theoretical framework, including the basic concepts of the online radio, web applications, and the platforms used in this project. Chapter 2 describes the methodology used in this project; from the graphics interface modelling and the web application development to the development of the script that runs in the Raspberry Pi. Chapter 3 shows the results of the project, whereas Chapter 4 shows the conclusions and recommendations. Finally, appendices that support and facilitate understanding of this project are provided at the end of this document.
