Instruction Guide LCD/OLED display using pydPiper
#31
Hi, Remy,
wow, what a great work. the installation routine worked perfect... and just found the solution for the wrong time problem.
unfortunatly there is no indication for title and so on if i stream from spotify to moode directl.
Any hint?
best wishes for 1. Advent

Hi Remy,

Having a 16x2 LCD display up and running I thought I would try an OLED panel.

I found a 0.96inch 128x64 12c SSD1306 panel but it has a reset pin in addition to the usual Vcc, Gnd, SCL and SDA pins.

Datasheet link - http://www.tinyosshop.com/datasheet/Tiny...Manual.pdf

I could not see a reference to a reset pin in pydPiper. Do you think this display will work with moOde or should I look for a 4-pin only display?

Regards,
Richard.

Hi Richard, you can ignore the reset pin. Just make sure it is configured for i2c interface (s1 and s2 soldered).

Hi Matthias. As for now you can't display the data when using spotify or airplay. Volumio can display those data without a problem. Have a look at this thread

Hi, Remy,
but moode sounds better and has no trouble while spotify is streaming. Volumio has... thats why i changed to moode!!
so... its not a problem...

Yes, I also think moOde is much better than volumio, especially the interface. And since i don't use spotify and only rarely use airplay, it is not a problem for me.

Hi, good evening from germany,

got a new bigger Oled 1.3" display (1306) ... did nothing change, but it does not work properly... which screw to drill... 


pagefile = pages_ssd1306.py ?


display devicetype = ssd1306 ?... could it be that it uses the sh1106 driver? so where to find it for moode?

perhaps you know...
the 0.96 1306 display did work properly...

1.000 thx
matthias

solved: just edit the configure.py  ...displaytype: sh1106...

Hello. I've finally just updated my player from the beta version (lol) and installed this awesome LCD script. I am using a parallel interface with a 20x4 LCD. The only thing is, I used to have a backlight control and I don't see this implemented anywhere in your script. Is there any way to do this? For me it was, backlight on when playing or paused, and off when stopped..

I guess this might be a bit more complicated with the Weather and other options you have.

Here is the code I was using before:
