PeppyMeter and moOde

I checked your code and the result as below. The "mouse.device = /dev/input/event0" are correctly

Hello,
It seems that you are not using the original 7" touch screen; let's try with  /dev/input/mice.
Best regards,
Francesco

Hello lhkp0480,
have you tryed to use:
"mouse.device = /dev/input/mice"
???
Best regards,
Francesco

[lhkp0480]

Hi Francesco,
I tried but nothing change then re-flash few time but at this step can't fine exactly your mention code

"""""""""^-1994 to go to row 1994 and modify the current content from:

Code:
"name \"ALSA default\"\n" . "device \"hw:" . $device . ",0\"\n", """""""""""""""""

I've done "sudo apt update" and expense SD card before stating.

The similar code in my playerlib.php file is: "name \"" . ALSA_DEFAULT . "\"\n";
May I continue modify this text to next step?

[fdealexa]

Hi lhkp0480,
my suggestion is to follow the instruction in THIS GITHUB, using the option moOde 7.2.0 (only).
If, at the end, you still receive the error message:

Code:

"Traceback (most recent call last):
File "peppymeter.py", line 290, in <module>
  pm.init_display()
File "peppymeter.py", line 150, in init_display
  pygame.display.init()
pygame.error: Unable to open mouse"

 
please try this: in the

Code:

/home/pi/PeppyMeter/config.txt

instead of

Code:

mouse.device = /dev/input/event0

please try to modify in

Code:

mouse.device = /dev/input/mice

And let us know.
Best regards,
Francesco

When I run 

Code:

cd /home/pi/PeppyMeter
sudo python3 peppymeter.py

The screen are displayed the VU meter when I run this code on Putty but after reboot the screen doesn't work. I try the code on putty again and it show the graphic a gain.

Seem the graphic doesn't fit my screen

Hello lhkp0480,
as reported on the PeppyMeter documentation, the available resolutions are:

Code:

UI is available in four resolutions 1280x400, 800x480, 480x320 and 320x240 pixels.

If you like: you can fill your display with static contents like I have done:

   

To do that you have to modify one set of the basic meters of PeppyMeter; in my case I have modified the 

Code:

blue-2-fgr.png
blue-2-bgr.png

in the folder  "large" that fits better my display.

The modified contents are:
   
    .

For the issue related to the screen that doesn't appear after reboot: it is normal: the PeppyMeter is a program that you have to run.
You can try to automatically start the program with a service or in other manner.
I did it with a program in Python and a service: please find them below:

  FdA_AutoPeppy.zip (Size: 1.03 KB / Downloads: 7)
I hope this helps you.
In any case, please do not hesitate to ask me for any other question.
Best regards,
Francesco

Many thank for explanations but I don't know what need to do with your file to enable auto start of PeppyMeter. Could you guide me in detail?
I need to complete the automatic start before going to modify the background picture.

[fdealexa]

Hello lhkp0480,
Let's try:

# Enable "Metadata File" (ON) in System Config - Local Services

# Copy the files FdA_AutoPeppy in to the PeppyMeter directory (/home/pi/PeppyMeter)

Then:

Code:

sudo cp /home/pi/PeppyMeter/fda_autopeppy.service /etc/systemd/system/
sudo chmod +111 /etc/systemd/system/fda_autopeppy.service
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl enable fda_autopeppy.service
sudo systemctl start fda_autopeppy.service

# Reboot the system
The PeppyMeter will start at the first "play".
Let me know if any problem.

Best regards,
Francesco

ok. To make peppymeter work WITH and AFTER camilladsp you do this:

No loopback , you don't need it and do not change anything in moodeaudio playerlib.php.

in /etc/asound.conf change slave.pcm to plughw:0,0 (so we keep moodeaudio magic working)

pcm.peppyalsa {
       type meter
       slave.pcm "plughw:0,0"
       scopes.0 peppyalsa
}
   

in camilladsp tab, example:
configuration -> flat, default device NO, click SAVE at the top.
   

enable status, expert mode and open pipeline editor.
   

Change Playback device, device -> peppyalsa , click Files at the top left and save config to flat.yml

   

reboot... it is working ?? yes it is
   

you can then start peppymeter with your actual config

cd ~/PeppyMeter/
DISPLAY=:0 python3 peppymeter.py

@fdealexa  Thank you for your detailed install instructions.
