Yeah, for my camper I have a few options in mind. Adding a Pirate Audio
3W amp board to the 3A+ server is now one possibility, because it would
save me taking a line out all the way to dashboard radio. But since I'm
refitting the interior I may find a space for a bigger permanent screen
with buttons and rotary controllers.
Two screens? I'm not sure. Interesting idea, but I don't really know
what I'm doing with all this SPI stuff. I have managed to change to
CS=1 (by using BCM7 for CS), but this makes me think that the pinout
diagram for the Pirate Audio boards ('here'
(https://pinout.xyz/pinout/pirate_audio_line_out)) may not be correct,
since it has BCM8 for CS, and I understand that BCM8 is the chip select
for SPI0.0, yet the fbtft_device command that works with the Pirate
Audio board uses cs=1. But I'm a bit out of my depth here.
Good idea with the countdown timer in the sbpd script, thanks.
