Re: [SlimDevices: DIY] [ANNOUNCE] SqueezeButtonPi - Tool to use buttons and rotary encoders on a RPi
Here's my script for launching sbpd at start-up. I originally put the sbpd command into a script file because I had so may buttons configured that the command was too long to be launched as a User Command. But having it as a script now allows for the necessary extra steps, such as launching the pigpio daemon and loading the uinput module. Save this text in a file called sbpd-script.sh in the home folder of the default 'tc' user. Code: #!/bin/sh # start pigpiod daemon pigpiod # give the daemon a moment to start up before issuing the sbpd command sleep 1 # load uinput module, then set the permission to group writable, so you don't need to run sbpd with root permissions sudo modprobe uinput sudo chmod g+w /dev/uinput # issue the sbpd command sbpd e,20,21,KEY:KEY_UP-KEY_DOWN,2 b,26,KEY:KEY_RIGHT,2,0,KEY:KEY_LEFT,500 To get this script to run when pCP boots, add this line as a user command at the end of the 'Tweaks' section.

I installed pcp5 and everything is working perfectly, thank you Paul! Chill, could you provide me the script to call sbpd and pigpiod etc. at the startup. That would be awesome! And how to call it from the tweaks page. Thank you!

Just wondering if it's possible to redirect the sbpd commands to a Jivelite installation on a difference device. I know the MAC address option can be used to send commands to a specific player, but if, say, I have Jivelite running on a Jogger, can I send keystrokes to that Jivelite somehow? I'm guessing not, given the uinput involvement, but I thought I'd ask. chill's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10839 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=107001 ___ diy mailing list diy@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/diy
