I took your advice and set up a fixed address for Raspberry Pi pCP using MAC address (with my router that is under IPv4 autoconfig) using the MAC address that my router reports for the Raspberry Pi cPC, and have set pCP STATIC IP to DHCP. WIFI is turned on. For good measure I have also set up STATIC IP (eth0) to my selected IP address as well, even though it is probably superfluous. For extra good measure I have also set the WIFI (wlan)) to my prefered IP address; DHCP also checked there. WIFI is turned on and SSID, password etc., country all filled in and saved. It links to WIFI ok, but connects to my router on a random IP address. I have of course also tried the LAN connection with WIFI turned off but all other settings as stated above. I have no reason to think that the router is not setting the static IP using MAC as I have tested with other devices, and it locks them in to the nominated IP. Seems odd that pCP is evasive to the router's settings. I hope that all makes sense.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Scroll Bot player
Your thread title really does not help with what you are trying to do and it is not clear how much detailed research you have done (e.g. have you looked at squeezelite source code) By "speak" I presume some form of Spectrum analyser display. There are a number of Jivelite displays using audio outrput from squeezlite under names as VU meter and Spectru analyser. This would simplify your system. IIRC Squeezelite can already export audio to shared memory for such display - the build option is OPT_VIS and probably looking at squeezelite source code will probably help understand what is being output see https://github.com/ralph-irving/squeezelite/blob/master/output_vis.c I suspect you should look at other apps already using this data. bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=109316 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix

Hi again Greg,
Yes I can confirm that I did steps 1 through 3 above (again). This time
yet again with a freshly flashed pCP4.0.0-b6 image.
I get the following text in the window under Save:
[ INFO ] Loading wifi firmware extensions...
[ OK ] Atheros firmware loaded.
[ OK ] Broadcom USB firmware loaded.
[ OK ] Ralink firmware loaded.
[ OK ] Realtek firmware loaded.

Starting WiFi on wlan0...
[ INFO ] Backing up files to
/mnt/mmcblk0p2/tce/mydata.tgz/-\|/-\|/-\|
Done.
[ OK ] Backup successful.
When I press the scan button, it detects my wifi SSID. Furthermore, it
shows the correct wifi MAC address.
I then unplug the wired internet and reboot the device.
Upon reboot, the USB wifi adapter starts blinking showly (approx 1 Hz),
but it gets no connection. This is exactly the same behaviour as the now
almost hundred times I have done this exercise.
I have now plugged wired internet cable in again, and it immediately
gets an IP number.
In wifi diagnostics it now says under dmesg:
[3.024688] usb 1-1.2: New USB device found, idVendor=0bda,
idProduct=8179
[3.024709] usb 1-1.2: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2,

[3.024729] usb 1-1.2: Manufacturer: Realtek
[5.870078] zram: Added device: zram0
.
Under loaded modules it says:
Module Size Used by
r8188eu 420608 0
cfg80211 545360 1 r8188eu
rfkill 21483 1 cfg80211
Under lsusb it says:
Bus 001 Device 004: ID 0bda:8179
And for wpa_supplicant.conf it shows:
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=staff
country=DK
update_config=1
network={
#enc_ssid="KHMJEJ"
ssid="KHMJEJ"
psk=9ca1e317b3bfe95dd01918e2863853a7604a500fa22aae5372550d02f1e5f542
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
auth_alg=OPEN
}
I must furthermore say I now created a brand new wifi password with only
alphanumeric characters in it, and it did not help.
I have not uploaded the wifi diagnostics to pastebin with paste name:
pCP-B+-775bd5-wifi
Finally, I will repeat that I am using an old RPi 1B+ with a Hifiberry
DAC+ card and the problematic USB wifi adapter, and that this
configuration has worked for the last few years with different versions
of pCP without any problems, the latest tested version being 3.5.0.
Hope this helps identify the problem, and thanks again for your help. I
will now do at test that Paul asked me to do in a PM.
regards,
Jens Erik

[SlimDevices: Unix] Scroll Bot player
I'm looking to build a new player for a child's bedroom and I found the raspberry pi zero W based scroll bot: https://shop.pimoroni.com/products/scroll-bot-pi-zero-w-project-kit Pairing this up with a small powered speaker looks ideal for my needs. I was hoping the LED display could be used to "speak" the audio as it will mostly be used to play audio books. Unfortunately, I have little to no experience with audio programming so thought I'd post my idea here to see if it seemed viable. My plan is to use squeezelite as the player. And output the audio to the ALSA loop back device. Then use JACK to read the audio output, calculate the fft to produce a spectrum analysis to output to the LED display and then pass through the audio untouched to the main ALSA output (will be via HDMI out). The LED display looks to require python to access it, and python looks to have JACK libraries so I think the theory is sound. It would be ideal if I could use piCorePlayer but I think the additional requirements (python, JACK etc) means it's going to be simpler to run a full raspbian image.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] BETA: piCorePlayer 4.0.0
hi Ronnie, pCP reads wpa_supplicant.conf from the boot area and converts it into a real wpa_supplicant.conf pCP only gets your SSID, password, encryption, country? values and makes a new pCP compatible wpa_supplicant.conf. Check wifi diagnostics and you will see your new wpa_supplicant.conf If you really want to maintain your own, then you must include: Code: # Maintained by user This will force pCP to use your wpa_supplicant.conf as is. The [Wifi settings] page will also ignore your it. You must then manually maintain the file with your favourite editor, vi by default. We did it this way so pCP will correct most errors and get users up and going with minimal effort. But, if the user knows about wpa_supplicant then they can make the file as complex as they like and pCP will use it. If it contains errors it is then the users problem. regards Greg Greg Erskine's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7403 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=109286 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix

The text I used is slightly different to the one suggested by the pCP
team

hi Jens Erik Jensen, We want things to work as well as you do. The idea of this beta release was to find issues that we didn't foresee. pCP4.0.0 has lots of changes, much more than usual, and there is only so much we can test in our environments. I will put my money on #4. An exclamation point (!) is indeed a special character. I am surprised it ever worked!! The pCP4.0.0 [ Wifi settings ] web page should handle special characters. Can you paste your wifi diagnostics to pastebin? They expire after 24 hours.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] BETA: piCorePlayer 4.0.0
Hi Paul and Greg, Thank you for being so helpful and not giving up on this issue. As for Greg's troubleshooting link and the most frequent reasons for wifi not working: 1.Wrong password. 2.Wrong SSID. 3.piCorePlayer does not support hidden SSID. 4.piCorePlayer does not support special characters in SSID or password. 5.Wifi adapter does not support wifi channel selected on wifi router. 6.USB wifi adapter and buit-in wifi adapter both trying to run at the same time. 7.Some audio cards interfere with Raspberry Pi built-in wifi adapters. 8.Wifi drivers are gradually changing from wext to nl80211 standard. 9.Occasionally, kernel upgrades break USB wifi drivers. Unfortunately, we can not test all USB wifi drivers prior to each piCorePlayer release. Please report any issue. I have of course checked 1+2+3 many times before reporting. Regarding 4, I do have an exclamation point (!) in my password, but I have had that for years without any issue, so I have not considered it a special character 5 can be ruled out as all previous versions of piCorePlayer work with that exact configuration 6 is also not an issue as it is an old RPi 1B+ without built-in wifi 7 the audio card is a Hifiberry DAC+ which has also been part of the configuration for years, so I find this very unlikely so, I think we are back at 8 or 9 as plausible reasons. Paul has sent me a PM, and I will check up on his questions tonight when I'm home and report back to him. I could easily go back to a previous image as I do not immediately need any of the new features in 4.0.0, but I guess my contribution to the development is to offer my rtrequipment for testing and reporting back issues that might affect others. The USB wifi adapter is a relatively cheap one using a Realtek chipset, and I have the impression that these adapters have sold in huge numbers, so I think the issue is relevant not to invest in troubleshooting.
