Instruction how to install pydPiper python scripts for RaspDAC Audiophonics I-Sabre ES9023 V3 [Winstar 80x16 OLED]



Download and install pydPiper

Code:

cd /home/pi
git clone https://github.com/dhrone/pydPiper.git
cd pydPiper
./install_docker.sh
sudo wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/audiophonics/Pydpiper-Raspdac/master/pydPiper.cfg
sudo wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/audiophonics/Pydpiper-Raspdac/master/pages_raspdac_16x2.py

You can test display with this command :

Code:

sudo docker run --network=host --privileged -v /var/log:/var/log:rw -v /home/pi/pydPiper:/app:rw dhrone/pydpiper:v0.31-alpha python /app/pydPiper.py

Service Installation :

Code:

sudo wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/audiophonics/Pydpiper-Raspdac/master/pydpiper.service

Start the configuration:

Code:

sudo python configure.py

And set all as followed:

Code:

Startup mode duration (in seconds)? [5]: 5

DISPLAY CONFIGURATION
Display type ?: winstar_weg
Register select pin? [7]: 7
Enable pine? [8]: 8
Data 4 pin? [25]: 25
Data 5 pin? [24]: 24
Data 6 pin? [23]: 23
Data 7 pin? [27]: 27
Width of display (in pixels)? [80]: 80
Height of display (in pixels)? [16]: 16
Enable pulse duration (in microseconds)? [0.1]: 0.1
Location of the pagefile? [pages_lcd_16x2.py]: pages_raspdac_16x2.py
Animation Smoothing (in seconds)? [0.15]: 0.15

SYSTEM CONFIGURATION
Location of log file? [/var/log/pydPiper.log]: /var/log/pydPiper.log
Logging Level? [info]: info
Time Zone? [Europe/London]: Europe/London
24-hour clock? [True]: true
Temperature Scale? [fahrenheit]: celsius
Enable weather? [n]: n

MUSIC DISTRIBUTION
Name of distribution? [moode]: moode
Server address? [localhost]: localhost
Port? [3000]: 6600
Password:

Now we need to edit :

Code:

sudo nano pages_raspdac_16x2.py

In the section "sequence" replace all the stream by encoding in db ['stream' ] to have db ['encoding'] 
save and exit (ctrl-x, yes, enter)


Then activate service :

Code:

sudo cp pydpiper.service /etc/systemd/system
sudo systemctl enable pydpiper
sudo systemctl start pydpiper

All should be working smooth after reboot
I take no credits for any of the work done. I just put the simple steps together so its easy to follow.

Hi Rikardo
Thanks for your reply at drones GitHub page regarding the pydPiper in MoOde 4.3.

Im stil having trouble regarding the docker. Did your install gave any errors regarding that? This happens when I am trying to test the display. The hello world from docker is displayed. I did at update/upgrade first and also to see if I am out of space. I have a 16gb SD. This is what is displayed:

Code:

pi@moode:~/pydPiper $ sudo docker run --network=host --privileged -v /var/log:/var/log:rw -v /home/pi/pydPiper:/app:rw dhrone/pydpiper:v0.31-alpha python /app/pydPiper.py

Not sure if it makes any sense. I can also try to ask at drones GitHubs page...

Strange. Do you have another SD car to try it on maybe?

I did a fresh install using the mosBuild instead of burning the image. Not sure if this is necessary but it worked. 

This time I had to activate the i2c bus in the raps-config file which I didn't experience the last time I install pydPiper...

Code:

sudo raspi-config

[Tim Curtis]

Stock settings in the Build and the ISO image are same and include i2c ON

Code:

pi@rp3:~ $ cat /boot/config.txt
disable_splash=1
hdmi_drive=2
dtparam=i2c_arm=on
dtparam=i2s=on
.
.

If there is a different i2c setting that raspi-config creates then please post it and I'll have a look.

[miklau]

Hi Tim

Thanks for your reply. My settings are the same as yours. Not sure if this was set på the raps-config after it enable the i2c bus...

Code:

pi@moode:~ $ cat /boot/config.txt
disable_splash=1
hdmi_drive=2
dtparam=i2c_arm=on
dtparam=i2s=on
dtparam=audio=off
dtoverlay=rpi-dac
#dtoverlay=pi3-disable-wifi
#dtoverlay=pi3-disable-bt

This very nice pydPiper display made by drone is using the metadate from the MPD (if I have understood it correct ). Is it possible to also have the Airplay and Spotify connect metadata sent to the MPD so it can be displayed by the display?

[rikardo1979]

As some of you may realised there was a little glitch with pydPiper when you streamed online sources such as Tidal/Qobuz etc.
Only source text 'WEB RADIO' and 'track title' was displayed, but 'album title' was missing.

This has been fixed now by the developer/maintainer @dhrone

So if you have installed this before yesterday you would need to pull/reinstall again to get the fix

Please read on github

Rikardo,
