Update.
Thought it was time for an update, though it’s a minor one.
I haven’t had much time tinkering with the player lately, as i’ve been busy writing midi files for drumtracks, which will end up on the Rpi-moOde player when finished.
I have, however, added a little but mandatory immature and childish touch to the player.
I’ve decided to add a shutdown button (script is already made and tested - the childish part), which is in the mail atm together with rubber feet for the enclosure and a WD purple SD card (recommended by Tim).
Next update will be the finished backing track player and hopefully sooner than later.
Kind regards
Rock
Edit 29. Jun: I realized once again that the project is a bigger mouthful than first thought. I had to dig deep into my memory to find technical drawing knowledge that I haven't messed with in over a decade and learn new drawing software. But alas, the 3D printer is now busy with the OLED bezel.
In the meantime i’ve also managed to wipe my laptop in a moment of frustration and impatience… ofcause without any backup… end of story is, that it’s now running Debian xfce.
Edit 1. Jul: encountered yet another challenge, i lost my customized 3D print profiles too when i wiped my laptop… it seems i did manage to tweak some settings to get usable prints tho, after some trial and error.
Yesterday i used the player in our reharsal room for drums backing. I had to control it with iPad as the player isn’t assembled yet, but it worked flawless!

100% Linux noob (Linexia?) - Promoted, by Tim, to ‘not noob’ ‘novice’, with a single vote from Robert.
I look forward am slightly nervous about what triggers the ‘dangerous’ promotion.

Almost anything is possible. It’s the subjective sum of the variables price, time and entertainment that determines whether it’s worth it or not.
