Pippin Many thanks for posting all this detailed information on the Tivoli radio and software - it's very helpful but I'm stuck on one point. I think you were using PcP in the radio (?) but to install the software needs git and Wiring Pi, I believe. I could do it on Raspbian and there are plenty of guides around but as PcP is based on TinyCore, I'm not sure how to install git or the Wiring Pi library, or where to save the SqueezeButtonPi code to. Would you be able to help? many thanks ------------------------------------------------------------------------ kingswindsor's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=61926 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
