Curious, what happens if you build, skipping cava, and just try the oled without the spectrum analyser ?
Hmmm... just looking at another thread and saw this...

Adrii... does your oled script work on that model ?
Hi,
currently I have 2 Pis.
The old one Pi 1 Model B Rev 2 and a Pi 4 Model B.
I connected my Dac (Hifiberry Dac + Pro) via Jumperwires to my old Pi and the Display via Jumperwires to the Display This works as described. The music plays and when you start the script for the display it will also show everything as expected The only thing is that you cannot use the next, prev, play or pause. When you press one of these buttons on the web ui or via console (mpc toggle) the display freezes the player starts the next song but the audio stops
Also there is no pin 27/28 on the old model.
On the Pi 4 I simply can use the 40 pin and build the DAC on top. The display is connected to DAC via jumperwires and here is the behavior a little bit different.
When you start the display script you can use all the navigation and you hear the sound. But the display freeze after using the navigation.
Using pin 27/28 for the display slow it down as adrii described.
This is the current status.
I want to use the old Pi because the new one will be my media player for videos. The old one needs no active cooling and will do his job quite good
