Hello Raji,
the problem is the display resolution. The PeppyMeter has a limited number of formats. from the peppymeter documentation:
UI is available in four resolutions 320x240, 480x320, 800x480 and 1280x400 pixels.
Note that the the procedure (GITHUB) is based on the native display (touchscreen 7" connected to the DSI port).

So to partially resolve the problem you can
-use the following command:
tvservice -s -v 2
-take the resolution and copy the values in the config.txt
nano /home/pi/PeppyMeter/config.txt
meter.size = wide
in the screen.width =XXXX and
in the screen.height =XXXX
This is to test if everythings, in the configuration, has been correct.
Next step is to configure the display from the Raspberry: I am trying to do that and hope to solve it.
Please try and let us know.
Regards,
Francesco

sorry for my english I meant to insert the values (3840x2160) in the config.txt:

meter.size = wide
screen.width = 3840
screen.height = 2160

Hurray !! finally it is working but not full screen. Any suggestions what changes need to be done to make it working full screen.

Hi Raji,
as mentioned the available resolution of the current peppymeter are: 320x240, 480x320, 800x480 and 1280x400 pixels.
My suggestion is that you have to decide wich meter you wish: with the parameters "meter.size = large" and "meter = random" in the config.txt you are, now, seeing the available meters in sequence (random) for the "large" (800x480) resolution. If you change "large" with "wide" you can see those available for 1280x400.
Once decided that you should run the following commands to know which resolution are available for your display: please report the results:
tvservice -m CEA
and
tvservice -m DMT.
please let me know.

Also do I need to run the below commands in SSH everytime when I want to use Peppy Meter with Moode Audio ?

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

Isn't there a way the Peppy Meter automatically starts when the Moode Web UI starts playing music.

Regards,
Rajiv

fdealexa · 07-08-2023, 02:57 PM

Hi,
the best way is to use one of the following modes: 4, 19, 60 or 62 to have full screen in width and parzially in height with the WIDE meters;
or one of these modes to have partially in width and in height, with the LARGE meters.
To enable the mode you have to add in the /boot/config.txt (sudo nano /boot/config.txt) the following rows:

Code:
hdmi_group=1

hdmi_mode=19

Please put 4 or 19 or 60 or 62 in the row "hdmi_mode="
Of course you have to modify the peppymeter config.txt (nano /home/pi/PeppyMeter/config.txt) for the resolutions:

Code:
screen.width = 1280

screen.height = 720

and

Code:
meter.size = wide

or

Code:
meter.size = large

Later you can fix the meter of your choice, changing

Code:
meter = random

with the meter name (for example)

Code:
meter = emerald

or

Code:
meter = blue-2

etc.
please let me know if it is not clear.
Best regards,
Francesco

Hi Rajiv (sorry I wrote Raji before),
There is an instruction in the GITHUB to do that.
Let me know is any problem.
Best regards and thanks,
Francesco
P.S.: I am sorry if any delay for the answers but I am having a problem with the "email notification"
