Note if you want the Lcd to display the track playing then run with “–lcd” I used this and not squeezelite due to the built in lcd output option with Lcdproc This is a player for Logitech media server.

In my previous music server i used a pre made image called squeezeplug, but in this new build i decided to start from scratch, i would recommend this for people just starting out as the setup is all menu based.įound this good guide to install logitech media server here : In my previous music server i used a 500gb usb drive, this worked ok but again with this new build i decided to try something new and found a sandisk micro 32gb usb memory stick and for somebody with a good size music collection (mp3 format) like myself this is ample! If it runs out of space then i can just simply add an additional stick or connect a hard disk. I followed the guides on the hifi berry website and soon got it working with Sqeezeslave. It comes in the b+ HAT format and requires no wiring and best of all sounds great. This was changed to an unused pin.Īs most raspberry pi fans know that the built in audio has improved over the years but its isn’t HIFI quality yet so i decided to use a hifiberry dac. Hd4780 16×02 lcd wired as per the lcd proc user guide with the exception of one pin used by the hifi berry dac hat (GPIO18).

The arduino is connected to the raspberry pi via serial port and as the arduino is 5v and raspberry pi is 3.3v a level converter is used. The rotary encoder is also connected to the arduino to save resources on the raspberry pi. Also as the arduino is powered all the time it allows the system to be powered on as well as off via infrared remote. This is done by removing the power a few seconds after sending a halt cmd ensuring that the file system is fully shutdown. The main reason for using an arduino is to provide a safe shut down sequence for the raspberry pi.

The chassis also came with a push latch on- switch but i was able to convert it into a ‘momentarily push to make’ by simply removing a latching pin from inside the switch. This amp kit chassis was originally designed to have the lcd attached to a pcb therefore i had to drill and tap new mounting threads for the lcd to be attached. I found this on ebay and it seemed to be exactly what was required as it had all the right cut- outs on the front panel. Aluminum chassis ( pre amp kit model PGA2311) – eBay The system worked well but with the recent release of the new raspberry pi2 Quad core it was time for an upgrade. For the last year or two i have been running a raspberry pi b based logitech media server.
