A big thanks to Remy1961 for his excellent tutorial. It’s great to see a well written and complete tutorial.
After a couple of pm’s alerting me to details in the tutorial that in my enthusiasmI had missed, I have a fully working 16x2 lcd display operating. The steps that I overlooked were:
Step 3: “Note that this is not actually a code. You answer manually line per line (copy and paste). “ and
Step 5: “you have to edit the page file used in your configuration. It is found in the directory /home/pi/pydPiper”
In the page file for your chosen display, change any instances of ‘stream’ to ‘encoding’ under “SEQUENCES > ‘canvases’ to avoid a “no active widgets” error message when playing a track. (Also included in remy1961’s “Notes” edit)
