At the moment I have 4 out of 6 players running on PcP and switched from airplay streaming to Squeezelite. All in all it seems to be a big improvement in quality and stability. But the last two players are still on Volumio, so I want to switch those as well. Both have a RemotePi board power controller installed and one of them is also the LMS server.
Unfortunately the 'instructions on the manufacturers website' (https://www.msldigital.com/pages/support-for-remotepi-board-plus-2015) do not include any hints for PcP.. Getting the remote control to work seems pretty straightforward to me, but the power on/off GPIO not that much.. In reverse engineering the' provided bash scripts' (https://www.msldigital.com/pages/shutdown-scripts-for-raspbian), I understand that pin14 is the one that PcP needs to monitor to receive the shutdown message from the RemotePi board. And pin 15 is the one that PcP needs to raise to send the shutdown message to the RemotePi. And it might also be needed to additionally pull up pin 14 again at the end of the sequence to confirm to the RemotePi board that system is shutting down... Since I never shutdown PcP through the webinterface I believe it's fine to ignore the second part (pin15), but I will need pin14 to trigger the shutdown script (especially for the player running LMS). So should I put that under "Shutdown GPIO" in PcP or under "Poweroff GPIO"? :confused: I suspect it should be "shutdown GPIO" - Pin 14 - "Active low" - "Pull up", but am reluctant to try because I don't want to toast the power board.. Does anyone have any experience with the RemotePi board and PcP? Or any other suggestions before I try? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ jeroen2's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=70418 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=109270 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
