[How to do instruction] 128x64 OLED with Song Status and Spectrum Display on Raspberry Pi

[adrii]

Hi Lucius

I have set up a repository with the development version of mpd_oled

   https://github.com/antiprism/mpd_oled_dev

I recommend installing from the binary package

   https://github.com/antiprism/mpd_oled_de...de7_deb.md

Your mpd_oled service installation command should be

Code:

sudo mpd_oled_service_edit -o SSD1306,128X64,SPI,dc=27,reset=24 -b 21 -g 1 -f 15 -c alsa,plughw:Loopback,1

I found that on the Pi Zero the kernal SPI device used some CPU and there was more CPU used by the system and this did not leave enough CPU for a responsive spectrum. However, if you are on a Pi 3 or 4 this should not be an issue.

If you have any problems running this version, or would like to provide any feedback regarding the installation instructions, then please open an issue at the mpd_oled_dev repository
