I decided to use the screw terminals on the 24V power supply to be able to connect the multisocket there. But since the relay module was not insulated at the bottom side of the PCB, I had to mount it on spacers and attach a small plastic sheet. I was able to immediately screw the 24V power supply to the bottom of the case. For the relay, the 24 V power supply and the Raspberry Pi, I marked the holes and punched them so I could drill them with a 2.5 and 3mm drill bit. The Ethernet feed through I could simply attach to the place of a previous speakOn port, for this I only had to drill two holes for the screws. Now that I knew what should go where, I could start attaching the parts. Therefore, I had to search for a multi-socket with straight plugs.
I had originally wanted to take a black multi-socket, but the plugs there were arranged at an 45° angle, so that the power supplies would then have been too high and would no longer have fit into the housing.
This was only possible to a limited extent before, because I didn’t have any specifications of the power supplies for the USB-SATA adapters. Then I had to think about the actual allocation of the devices in the case. Furthermore, a multiple socket, as shown here, should never be used for permanent installations. Some steps shown here should only be done if you know exactly what you are doing. The complete project and associated code can be found on GitHub ( ).Īttention! Working on mains voltage is life threatening and should only be done by qualified personnel. If you are only interested in the software part and setting up the NAS with Ubuntu Server, you can jump straight to the second part. In part 2 we will install the operating system and set up the NAS. the cabling of the individual devices and especially also the installation in the power amp case. In part 1 we take care of the hardware, i.e. So, I had a case in which all components would fit. Since I am involved in sound engineering there, it was no problem to get hold of it. I already had a few Raspberry Pis at home and when the PI 4B came out, this was the perfect moment to get this project started.Īround the same time, a power amp at my school broke. Since then, I was looking for a NAS solution for my whole family. I had played around with the NAS feature of my router in the past, but quickly reached its limits.
