title: Wifi Volume Knob Part 1

---

**Why?**
I recently started using [Volumio](https://volumio.org/) as my main music player, but I soon got fed up with opening up the webinterface every time I want to change the volume or pause the song.
My inspiration is [this beatiful piece of work](http://runawaybrainz.blogspot.de/2013/11/adafruit-trinket-compatible-volume-usb.html) by <NAME>:

**What?**
I want to build a similar-looking, probably larger knob that works over wifi, ideally running from a Lithium-Ion battery with an integrated USB charger. I also want to include basic playback controls while keeping the exterior elegant.

**Features I want to include:**
* Change the volume by rotating the knob
* Play/pause the current song by pressing the knob
* Change the song by pressing and turning the knob
* Use capacitive sensing to activate the wifi controller before touching the knob to decrease the initial latency.
* Simple WebUI that allows to change the network and volumio IP address
