Play Pause picoreplayer gpio usb

[ShaneC80]

@chill: How did you connect your 7 preset buttons to the gpios? I have connected 2 rotary encoders, 1 infrared, so I have only 5 gpios left free. I thought about using an port extender MCP23017 but don't get it connected/routed to sbpd.

How'd you do your buttons and rotary encoders?

I'm new to this, but I'm going to be putting together a 'box' of sorts using PiCorePlayer, 3.5" Touch Screen, 2x rotary encoders, maybe some buttons, and outputting the DAC straight to a set of chip-amps (TDA7293s).

Unfortunately, while I know there's ways to use the encoders and buttons via GPIO, I'm not entirely sure how to do the plugins yet.

Ideally I'm thinking one rotary for volume and the other acting like a mouse scroll wheel to navigate menus. Pushbuttons would be hard coded to Enter (Select), Menu Back, Play/Pause, Prev/Next, and Power....I think. IF I have enough Pins

Hi guys nice script, but I try to connect two rotary decoders...

I added a second button and rotary section...
Not sure how to call them correct at the end of the script.

Here's what I got so far but I think I'm missing something, how does one add two different commands for each rotary instead of this "VOLU"

#!/bin/sh

# start pigpiod daemon
pigpiod -t 0 -f -l -s 10

# wait for pigpiod to initialize - indicated by 'pigs t' exit code of zero

count=10 # approx time limit in seconds
while ! pigs t >/dev/null 2>&1 ; do
        if [ $((count--)) -le 0 ]; then
                printf "\npigpiod failed to initialize within time limit\n"
                exit 1
        fi
# printf "\nWaiting for pigpiod to initialize\n"
        sleep 1
done
printf "\npigpiod is running\n"

# load uinput module - required to be able to send keystrokes
# then set the permission to group writable, so you don't need to run sbpd with root permiss...
sudo modprobe uinput
sudo chmod g+w /dev/uinput

sbpd -v -M $PLAYER_MAC -f /home/tc/sbpd_commands.cfg \
b,$SW1,$SH1,2,0,$LO1,$LMS1 \
b,$SW2,$SH2,2,0,$LO2,$LMS2 \
e,$ROT1,$ROT2,VOLU,$MODE \
e,$ROT3,$ROT4,????,$MOD2

could anyone give an advice how to configure the script to use VOL+/VOL- for ROT1 and ROT2 and NEXT/PREV for ROT3 and ROT4 and how the sbpd call should exactly look like?

thanx for your help!

Take a look at the readme here. https://github.com/paul-1/SqueezeButtonPi-Daemon

But the Command for encoders is TRAC

Thanks a lot that's what I was searching for I'll have a look...

cheers,
