Chill,
We have an updated version ready. You can update by just running
pcp-update pcp-sbpd.tcz
run sbpd --help to take a look at the command line changes for buttons.
(The encoder stuff should not have changed)
PS. Why are you using the 5v power rail for your encoder. The rpi
inputs are
Many thanks Paul
I'll have a play with that this evening.
Just had a read up on pull-up resistors. I assumed the encoder needed 5V
power for the rotary part to function, but I guess that was a rookie
mistake. Is that the 'resist' option in the sbpd command line? (I won't
have access to my
The resist function is how to set the internal input resistors.
They either are set to
Pull Up to 3.3v
Pull Down to 0v
or Off.
Since your buttons connect the 0v line to the rpi input pin, you want to
set the resistor to pull up, and then the "pressed" condition is 0
(This is the default setup
Right - next challenge (for you, not me, I just have to wait a couple of
days and then run the new command :))
How would we go about adding extra commands to the capabilities of this
tool, other than POWR, PLAY, PREV, NEXT, VOL+, VOL- ? I realise there
aren't many others that make much sense
Yes, that's how I've got it now.
/usr/local/sbin/sbpd -d -s e,12,16,VOLM,1 b,17,PLAY,2,0,POWR
b,27,NEXT,2,0 b,22,PREV,2,0 b,4,POWR,2,0 b,23,VOL+,2,0 b,24,VOL-,2,0
The encoder is now connected to 3.3V rather than 5V. But I don't
understand whether the pins it's using (12 and 16) should have
There are way too many command options to list, we are not limited to
the remote control commands, any CLI command can be made. Go to your
web interface of your LMS instance, and then Press the help button on
the lower left corner, then hit "Technical Information", then hit "The

Well now you ask, not many from that list actually:
muting
play.single
arrow_up
arrow_down
arrow_left
arrow_right
knob_left
knob_right
knob_push
- I could see the 'muting' option being useful occasionally, e.g. if the
player is part of a synched
The script option was meant for doing other things, that would be much
slower to send commands to the server. But for commands like favorites
that you might want to be variable, then the script is definitely the
way to go.
As for commands, here is the current list. I think you can map them
