[IDEA] SPDIF out via GPIO (No Hat!)

[Rees86]

Hi,

reading your post I just noticed that git repo. Not read through it, but if it is about S/PDIF audio output without using a HAT looks interesting; I can have a look about making it compile for x64 arch.

Any pics/examples somewhere, just to see how it is used in real life?

The hardware part is really simple, I just picked up some screw terminal RCA connectors and hooked up to the digital input of my receiver but you could sacrifice an existing RCA cable by cutting the end off.  For testing I used an old junk receiver I have laying around and just hooked the GPIO directly to the digital input - for better safety the resistor should be added inline with the signal for a final configuration as shown on the authors github.

I also see a user reported that if you wire up an LED instead of a cable you can use an optical cable.  I'll test that out once I get things working.

2) you haven't specified what "don't yield results" means. It looks like issue #12 (started by a moOde user) may contain relevant information. Have you followed it?

I don't have any S/PDIF gear so can't follow along at home.

Ah thanks I guess I should have caught that issue on github - I went through it looking for a solution to the compiling issue and didn't circle back once that was sorted.  It looks like I'm having the same issues as jtauscher on github but haven't gotten as far in the troubleshooting process.  I'll keep poking around but I'm sure they'll likely solve things first.
