Re: [slim] New modified SqueezeAMP batch?

2022-12-19 Thread the_arm


Hi there! I built up my 3 new SqueezeAmps and so far so good while using
them to play when connected to unpowered speakers. I haven't checked out
the other outputs yet; that's on the to do list. The IR is working
great, which is super fun!

One question - all 3 of these new SqueezeAmps report out ~8V on the LMS
Settings->Information page when plugged into a 12V power supply. My
SqueezeAmps from the previous run (which were boosts, I think?) all
report ~12V on the same interface / same supply. I'm guessing that's
expected and maybe a difference between basic and boost, but thought I'd
check in just in case. 

Other than that the only difficulty I had was the initial connection to
the SqueezeAmp. For whatever reason my windows laptop, when connected to
the SqueezeAmp's squeezelite wifi just would not resolve the
192.168.4.1...or one time it did but then it just sat with a spinning
wheel as it was trying to load up the page with the wifis available
locally. I don't recall this happening last time, but it's also a new
laptop. I forgot to try the "laptop won't connect to airport wifi" trick
of using incognito mode so no idea if that would work, but instead was
able to connect to it on my phone by joining that wifi (with the default
password) and then selecting the notification that I needed to log in.
So, if anyone is struggling, that worked for me.

Also, I noticed on the printing on board that the order of the polarity
for the speaker wire connections is different than the last run (or
maybe that's a boost vs basic thing?) - I assume the labeling is
correct?

Thanks!!

A quick note to say that the proposed fix (C16 & C20 replacement) works
also for an old SqueezeBox2 whose volume was very very low for the
two analog outputs. It is worth trying! Not complicated!

I used the following capacitors available at Digikey.ca ($1 cdn/each):
PART: 493-14240-ND, NICHICON / RNS1E100MDS1
DESC: CAP ALUM POLY 10UF 20% 25V  

Thank you VERY MUCH Ralphy for yout help!

Thanks Philippe,

It makes sense and on off works, but Im not sure if I got incorrect top
plate or it hasn't been changed after adding IR sensor..

Unless I'm being thick here.. When I position on/off switch above WiFi I
don't have full access to speaker terminals . which makes me think it
should be other side but there is IR sensor on a way :/

Its no big deal anyway .. I can live without on/off switch  :)

You can search for SqueezeAMP on Gitter. But you should have a
preassembled small cable that fits in the 3 white headers. The on/off is
the closest to the spdif plug

Re: [slim] Does Anyone Have a Slimdevice for Sale?

2022-12-19 Thread w3wilkes


I too must defend the Duets. I run two Duet receivers on wifi and
they've been rock solid. I did have to replace a power supply for one
Duet receiver and a wifi card in the other one. For me the key was a
wifi router with good radios like ASUS has. One caution on the
Squeezebox radios is they have issues with wifi 6 routers but the Duet
receivers work just fine on wifi 6 routers, at least the RT-AX86U which
has turned out to be the most reliable router I've ever owned.



Main system - Rock Solid with LMS 8.3.1 on WHS 2011 - 2 Duets ( both
WiFi, farthest unit gets 60% signal strength and always works since new
power supply) and Squeeseslave
Cabin system - Rock solid with LMS 8.3.1 on Win10 Pro - 1 RPi 3 Model B
(WiFi) /Hifiberry DAC+ Pro/PiCorePlayer and Squeezeslave
Squeezebox Boom - "At Large" player around both home and cabin
Headphones and car - Android phone/Bluetooth w/full library on MicroSD
card - PowerAmp music player app (similar to Material Skin)

Thank you Philippe!

Just need to find better power adapter as one I tried jack barrel is not
sitting securely in socket.. Not sure why maybe it's slightly different
type.


OK time to assembly case I guess.  Oh little bit confused with power
switch assembly is there any info on forums how to go about to?
