piCorePlayer Documentation

[mini11]

Added mini11's latest project "Control Jivelite by rotary encoders and buttons".

I checked the tutorial tonight and found a mistake. In sbpd-script, command section please change

e,22,27,VOLU,2 \ # e=encoder, 12 and 26 are GPIO
e,23,24,KEY:KEY_UP-KEY_DOWN,4 " # e=encoder, 12 and 26 are GPIO

to

e,22,27,VOLU,2 \ # e=encoder, 22 and 27 are GPIO
e,23,24,KEY:KEY_UP-KEY_DOWN,4 " # e=encoder, 23 and 24 are GPIO

Thanks
Günter

I just just pushed a major update to the "piCorePlayer documentation".

Just about all the changes were related to an internal tidy up and restructure, so hopefully everything looks and works as before.

Let me know if I have broken something.

I just did it again!

Note: A cache refresh might be needed to see minor cosmetic changes.

Control Jivelite by rotary encoders and buttons - part2



The pic sbpd-1 comes twice - the first one was too big.

Control Jivelite by rotary encoders and buttons - part1

Added project "Add a 1.5 inch st7789 spi display".

I’m back again.
You published the tutorial for the 1,54 inch display – looks good.
There is a hint in the tutorial to „control jivelite by rotaries and pushbuttons“, so we should have a tutorial about that too. Here it is.
If you want to publish it, please add a link in 1,54 inch tutorial in Step 4 - Configure Jivelite and/or „More information“ to this tutorial .

There is a Help tab/link to the piCorePlayer homepage, then there is a HELP link on the pulldown menu.

Waveshare 4 inch display

Looks really great, so we can continue like that. At the moment, my time is short. I think, in 2 or 3 weeks we can finish the projects.

An additional hint:

I'm missing a link on startup-page of piCorePlayer (..../cgi-bin/about.cgi) to documetation-page. Perhaps a link will save people much time that they spend for searching the forum.

Added project "Add a 4 inch Waveshare display spi touch".

@mini11. I only changed the graphics links because I used a different directory name, and because Linux is case sensitive I had to change Display to display in one location. That's it... a couple of minutes work!!!

index.md.txt

I didn't do an edit pass yet, just published as is.

[mini11]

It would be helpful but really it is a matter of what you are happy doing.

The markdown file (.md) is the documentation source, the html is all generated automatically by Hugo.

index.md has meta data, formatted in yaml, at the beginning, then standard markdown except for a few GO template commands, like {{< card >}}, interspersed.

I spend som time this afternoon to test editing the index.md file and changed some steps for the 4 inch ws-display.
Here it is:
Waveshare 4 inch hdmi touch spi.md.txt

Please take a look at the files and if this is OK for you, I will do the same with the other tutorials step by step.
