Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] LMS debian unstable package fails to run with perl 5.20
Ah, I now realize that I need to use the buildme.sh in vendor, a whole different ball of wax. I've got that built now. Is there any way to unravel this so that it uses the dependencies from the OS rather than compiling from source? Maybe the new versions of these libraries don't need the patches any more?

To build as a module you need the exact kernel headers and config, and it's not really much harder to just build the whole thing. If the driver is built-in then you can see the kernel messages as it boots, just like a regular monitor but smaller, this is how I do it. Here are some instructions from the original FBTFT project that I forked from.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Boom style user interface for Community Squeeze OS
The driver you need is on my github, you shouldn't need anything else. It should work with Raspberrry PI as it was designed for this in the first place. With the power sequence, I did not do anything special. But now that you mention it I see the SSD1322 datasheet mentions the sequence. The display I have does not have control over this. I haven't had any problem so maybe it doesn't matter so much. I think you can satisfy the sequence by connecting the VCC-CTRL to VCC3V3; this will cause VCC to come up after/with VDDIO. The VDDIO-CTRL can be connected to VCC15V0; this will cause VDDIO to go down with VCC, just make sure R19 is 0603 size or bigger. Do you have an oscilloscope that you can see the sequence? I think it will work, but I don't have that display so I haven't tried it. Another option is to use extra GPIO and program that sequence into the FBTFT driver. But like I said I don't do it and it works for me... rpress's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=31544 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=98960 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix

The FT232RL does not support MPSSE, so sorry that won't work. But the good news is that with the Raspberry Pi you can hook it up parallel, or SPI, directly with just wires and you do not need the FTDI adapter. I have not tested the PMOD-OLED2, but it should work just like mine. There are two signals BS0 and BS1 which select parallel or SPI bus. You can see this in the schematic on the Digilent page; the PMOD-OLED2 has them wired for parallel bus. If you want to hook up less wires to the Raspberry Pi you can use SPI bus, but you will need to put two jumper wires on the PMOD-OLED2 itself. I am thinking of some XBMC plug-in too as I am running that as well. Maybe when playing movies it will run a nowplaying for XBMC and when playing music it will run Jivelite.

Too high of gain and it clips, too low and the bars don't move much. You can reduce the overall gain by changing the bit shift "power_sum <<= 6" or you can enable the log function just above that. There is also frequency pre-emphasis "scale_db += 1.2" which changes the gain versus frequency, set this to zero for the best accuracy. There is also some stuff in there "X_SCALE_LOG" to create a non-linear frequency scale, so it gives more resolution to the lower frequencies. I played with the scaling somewhat and settled on a "reasonable" scale that seems to work well if the tracks have replaygain. A lot of pop tracks these days have a lot of gain, the so-called '\"loudness war\"' (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loudness_war), but replaygain helps here. A higher frame rate makes things smoother and more visually pleasing. I think most anything these days can do at least 30 FPS if not more.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Boom style user interface for Community Squeeze OS
I received the Noritake display, unfortunately the grayscale one is discontinued. It's too big for my case! I didn't pay close enough attention, it's about 10mm too wide. It's big and beautiful, there is something indeed special about a VFD display. The drivers are working and the display is running at 30 fps, the max speed allowed by the VFD. I made some optimizations to the GPIO driver and it actually doesn't use much CPU at all bit-banging the parallel bus over USB. I also received that UM232H-B adapter board in the picture above and it works great too. No grayscale is a bit of an issue though, because the icons and fonts of Jivelite aren't optimized for it. For reference the old VFD Squeezebox units (Boom, Transporter) do not have grayscale either and they look good. So that's just a matter of adapting Jivelite, but I don't know if I'm up for at as I don't plan to use the VFD as it won't fit... I think I'll go with the OLED as it looks good and fits nicely. Does anyone else have ideas for a display that would work? To be honest the latest fad of full color, normal aspect ratio (like the Touch) don't seem as "classy" to me as the Boom style display. rpress's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=31544 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=98960 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix

Sounds good to me. I'm still playing with things, I'd like to see a decade scale on the spectrum analyzer. You can see the changes in my repos, other than adding in the original visualizations it's not that much. The replaygain makes a big difference, otherwise the visualizations aren't "centered" in the normal range. The volume poses a problem as it will affect the visuals if the volume is turned down, this is why I only apply the replaygain. Thankfully it doesn't seem to use much CPU.

The VU meters are just multiple bitmaps with the needle drawn in different spots. I played with the Touch bitmap a bit in Gimp to get it to fit on the display, but it could use more work, frankly. If anyone wants to draw a new VU meter, 128 x 64 pixels, with the needle in 25 positions that would be great! There is also support in the code for a vertical bar-style VU meter.

Thanks for the replies! RetroBrowser looks really interesting and I'd like to play with it. But it doesn't work with Jivelite as it uses deprecated functions "addCategory" along with other problems I imagine. Has anyone got it working with more modern Squeezeplay/Jivelite? It seems the fundamental difference is that Jivelite is designed for close interaction, whereas the Boom works great as a 10-ft interface. I know the Touch has a 10-ft "zoomed" interface as well, but I still think the Boom is better with it's large aspect ratio display. Yes, I agree that doing the bulk of the UI processing on the Wandboard makes the most sense. Also writing it for Jivelite would allow use of all the latest plugins. The problem (?) is that there is so much great code for the Boom that can't be ported to Jivelite, requiring rewriting this interface code. But this seems like the best decision moving forward. The Jivelite menus could be made Boom-like, and a new Now Playing screen is needed of course.

[SlimDevices: Unix] Boom style user interface for Community Squeeze OS
I'd like to do a Boom type user interface using the Wandboard and Community Squeeze OS. The hardware will consist of a 256x64 OLED display along with an RF remote control. The display interface with the SPI port will be easy enough; the remote is USB. The software framebuffer driver needs writing but I can port another similar driver. My question is where the UI code will live. The old Boom had very little code on the player, everything was generated by the server. The new devices work the opposite but don't support a Boom-like interface. I could re-use much of the Boom code and adapt it for the different resolution. This is what I've done for my "empeg" player and it works very well. However the OLED resolution is nearly twice that of the Boom so it would require new fonts, bitmaps, etc. After all that work it seems better to just write a client side renderer like JiveLite, but more Boom-like.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Help noob with install squeezeplayer
Yeah try the packages I built and see how they work. I had to change a bunch of stuff so it would compile right, the biggest problem being that there was no audio. rpress's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=31544 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=96340 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
[SlimDevices: Unix] Squeezeplay deb package for amd64
Here's a deb package I've build with Squeezeplay 7.8.0~9704, for amd64 (64-bit). It's working on my Ubuntu 12.10 with alsa audio, no changes are needed. It also installs the icon and .desktop file so you can just run it from Unity with no problems. Let me know how it works for you! https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B8FzJlhz-BzBYS1vUVlLY2x3c2c rpress's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=31544 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=96306 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
