Rpi-jukebox-rfid: Pimoroni Pirate Audio installation

[drocx]

Hello,
I discovered Pirate Audio a few days ago.

Has anyone Experience with this device?

It would be the perfect addition for the phoniebox:

• Playback Control Buttons without soldering.
• I2S DAC for better audio
• A high-res color display for Cover Art

We have a Readme, see https://github.com/MiczFlor/RPi-Jukebox-RFID/blob/develop/components/audio/PirateAudioHAT/README.md

I'm using a Pirate Audio HAT with Phoniebox. Sound should work fine after running the setup script (https://github.com/MiczFlor/RPi-Jukebox-RFID/blob/develop/components/audio/PirateAudioHAT/setup_pirateAudioHAT.sh). I had no time to setup and test the display and the buttons yet.

Hello,

i have received my Pirate Audio HAT and everything is working (Sound, Display and Buttons).

Here are my installation steps:

1. Install phoniebox develop
2. Enable SPI
   sudo raspi-config nonint do_spi 0
3. Run components/audio/PirateAudioHAT/setup_pirateAudioHAT.sh
4. Install plugins
   sudo pip3 install Mopidy-PiDi pidi-display-pil pidi-display-st7789 mopidy-raspberry-gpio
5. Edit mopidy configuration
   sudo nano /etc/mopidy/mopidy.conf

Add the following sections:

[raspberry-gpio]
enabled = true
bcm5 = play_pause,active_low,150
bcm6 = volume_down,active_low,150
bcm16 = next,active_low,150
bcm20 = volume_up,active_low,150

[pidi]
enabled = true
display = st7789

1. Enable access for modipy user
   sudo usermod -a -G spi,i2c,gpio,video mopidy

2. Reboot

Maybe someone can upgrade the setup_pirateAudioHAT.sh script for a all in one installation.

Have fun with Pirate Audio 🏴‍☠️ 🤘

Thanks for the howto. I agree we should add this to the install script.

I checked the setup_pirateAudioHAT.sh script.
Maybe line 24 should be change from gpio=25=op,dhc to gpio=25=op,dh as mentioned here.
But I don‘t know what the additional c changes with the gpio control.

This was most likely a typo or copy&paste error. I will fix the script accordingly.

@fredg02 I have fixed the typo.
Maybe you can extend the script by the steps I mentioned (plug-ins, mopidy.conf, Access rights)?
Unfortunately I am not very familiar with writing Linux scripts.

[fredg02]

Thanks. I've added the steps you were mentioning. AFAICT SPI also needs to be enabled for this to work.

[drocx]

Ok. I have updated my post:
sudo raspi-config nonint do_spi 0

Fixed with PR #960 and #966
