MP3 Injection

Arduino with MP3 player and handset relay

In order to play our various easter eggs, we needed the ability to easily play MP3s, but more importantly we needed to hijack the handset. So a 2nd SPDT relay was added. This relay sits between the handset earpiece and the hook switch board. We can either connect the ear piece to the phone’s mainboard like a normal phone would be connected, or we can switch the relay and connect the MP3 output to the handset earpiece. This gives us man-in-the-middle control of what the user hears.
