Since my previous post about piCorePlayer, I have replaced 2 of them that were running on a Raspberry Pi 3A+ with a 3D printed case. Raspberry Pi 3A+ with 5″ touch screen, an Adafruit speaker bonnet and speakers. The 3D printed case can be downloaded from Printables.com

This was my weather station and was powered by a Raspberry Pi 3A+ running Raspbian Buster lite with pywws. Unfortunately the base station kept losing connection with either the weather station or the Pi.
