pi based systems

[wl1]

Hi

My RPi official touch screen display has always worked perfectly (until I broke it yesterday that is)

It should work properly by default using piCorePlayer once Jivelite is loaded.

I have been using it on my development pCP RPi for years, so I have installed pCP and Jivelite hundreds of times.

What skin are you using? I use Grid 800x600.

regards
Greg

I am using the Grud Skin 800 x 480. There doesn’t appear to be a 600?

Is this correct?

That's the one. As mentioned, I broke my screen and was using my memory which seems to be also broken....

My old Denon DRA-565 receiver died almost two years ago. After buying a new amp I was questioning what to do with the old Denon. Inspired by the examples on this forum I decided to go for a Raspberry Pi based player built into the old Denon case and using the Denon VFD to display titles, menu etc. It ended up with lots of trials, software and hardware. I spent a lot of hours reading, learning and building and I finally got to the point yesterday where I closed the case. It's not finished completely because there is still some work on the remote IR control and I want to design a PCB for the VFD driver. But it's functional with the old volume control replaced by a rotary encoder and some old buttons connected to the GPIO.

• Hardware:
  
  • Raspberry Pi 2 Model B,
  • Hifiberry AMP,
  • AMB σ11 regulated power supply (12VDC),
  • VFD driver (own design)
• Software:
  
  • piCorePlayer 3.5.0
  • Slimmer
  • LCDProc
  • Pikeyd
  • A custom Python script for serial communication to the VFD driver

Here are some pictures of the result:

Brilliant. Love it.

Really too cool. Great re-use of old technology! Congrats.
