Re: Very simple Raspberry Pi Radio

Exactly. Between the IR-out and the GPIO-input pin. Anywhere else will decrease the voltage even more, and the TSOP isn't even rated for 3.3v (only 5V and up). This is just in case you accidentally set the GPIO pin to output. I don't know how the IR reacts when you apply voltage to the OUT. It could...

Re: Very simple Raspberry Pi Radio

Any remote will do. I'm using a logitech universal remote (harmony 300), which is programmed to replace my sony-stereo's remote. The Pi's audio is connected to my stereo. If my stereo is set to AUX, most of the button on the remote don't do anything. So I use those buttons to control the Pi. Kind of...

Re: Very simple Raspberry Pi Radio

The high numbers are going to be hard to read though. 29 would be LONG LONG LONG LONG LONG SHORT SHORT SHORT SHORT You could just add a second led, just for the the 10's, and use the other for the single number (using LONG SHORT) Thanks for sharing. I might add some leds later. I was planning to add...

Re: Very simple Raspberry Pi Radio

I'm too using my Pi as a internet radio. I have the Pi in my livingroom. The WL520GU is in my bedroom. I added 4 push-buttons to the pi (with a 1k resistor, just for insurance). I'm using python and the RPi.GPIO library to readout the button state. CPU usage is minimal, even when polling every 100ms...

Re: No sound output

Quite a thrill, when you first hear sound coming out of a router.

By the way, search this forum for pandaro. Someone here got pandora working in OpenWrt. It's a shame Pandora doesn't work anymore here in europe.

Re: No sound output

0:00/0:00 means it can't load the music stream/file. I don't think you can just add pandaro songs like that. Try some shoutcast station. e.g.

Code: Select all

Re: Controlling mpd using the SES/AOSS/EZ-SETUP button

Most files go into the home folder, so "/root/"; except for 01-radio-control, which goes into "/etc/hotplug.d/button/" You'll need to copy these files: /root/buttonpressed.sh /root/buttonreleased.sh /root/mympc.sh /root/show-preset.sh /root/flash-led.sh /etc/hotplug.d/button/01-r...

Re: Airport equivanent project possible?

I don't see why not. Having a complete OS with all the needed hardware inside a notebook. The only thing you'd need is to find the software that fits your requirements the most (although that is not always an easy feat with all the possible software packages in all different stages of development).

Re: alternatives to the WL-520gU

As far as I know that is all.
Chipset and CPU is taken care of by openwrt. If it is on the their support list, openwrt will run just fine. Just make sure you download the correct image.
