[HELP] AUDIOPHONICS I-Sabre V3 DAC ES9023 TCXO

thedman!

I'm just doing a clean install on my sd card. It may be that my problem, using a simple momentary switch, is solved by the post here:

Hi thedman!,

a simple button will not work with this scripts (except the shutdown).

Frank

thedman!

Yeah, as this and other threads develop its dawning on me more and more. Still its interesting stuff and I'm learning....

Hi all,

Jumping in this conversation as I have also a kit from Audiophonics. First of all, just to say it sounds really really good and it can compare with many more priced devices.
I have the v2, without the power management. I have wired my OLED like shown on this page : http://forum.audiophonics.fr/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=1492

I have tried the all the command from Franck to make my OLED works, and it works fine on my system.
Many thanks Franck! Just one question, to build the 16x2_oled_runeaudio.py file, did you came from the file written for Volumio by Dhrone?

Best,
Bruno.

I thought I give it a try again after @Bruno mentioned it worked for him.

But I get this error

[root@runeaudio www]# git pull

Aborting

I am totaly lost. I do not know what I doing wrong here but I can not make it working...
I gaving up
So probably time to look for different OS, something which come out with this already in

No need to become desperate. You made changes and now git wants that you either commit these (bad idea) or discard them. That could be done by this sequence:

cd /var/www
git stash
git pull

Good luck!

Hi

as it does work for Bruno the problem seems to be on your side.

I am totaly lost. I do not know what I doing wrong here but I can not make it working...
I gaving up

Do you always surrender that soon?

You do not have the latest image for the RP2 / RP3, or?

Is your display wired correctly?

https://github.com/dhrone/Raspdac-Display

Yes i only changed a few lines.

Sorry I should have mentioned I also had to stash my git like ingohz wrote. But as I know git it didn't bothered me so much.

One thing you might guys me to figure out is where to call the script 16x2_oled_runeaudio.py so it runs when my Pi starts?
My first though was to put it in rune_SY_wrk (where I put a command to wake up my NAS), but maybe there is a better place?
I'm not so familiar with this kind of distro, otherwise I would have think "rc.local".

Ok Franck, thanks for your answer. I will have a look a it and try this week-end to add a few features like the detection of the airplay mode.

well, is not so soon. I spend £150 for piece of s.. as Audiophonics messed up big style sending a wrong parts in it, they support is one of the worst I have ever experienced and after a week of fiddling with, this crap still does not work...
So yes, I gave up and I have lost my nerve with this

rikardo1979

seems that Audiophonics was busy last days or hours

http://forum.audiophonics.fr/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=1492&p=6207#p6207

So for me that is the only solution, sorry guys...

PeteB

Sorry to hear that Rikardo, but I will look for your posts in Xbian, when I am there desperately looking for information myself...

any time

but hope you would not need any help with XBian. It should be pretty trouble less but you never know

Hi Bruno,

Bruno.dualo wroteOne thing you might guys me to figure out is where to call the script 16x2_oled_runeaudio.py so it runs when my Pi starts?

I would do it the arch linux way and use systemd.

Save this as /usr/lib/systemd/system/oled.service

    
[Unit]
    Description=Audiophonics OLED Service
    After=mpd.service

    [Service]
    ExecStart=/usr/bin/python /usr/local/bin/16x2_oled_runeaudio.py
    ExecReload=/usr/bin/kill -HUP $MAINPID
    KillMode=process
    Restart=always
    RestartSec=10
    StartLimitInterval=30
    StartLimitBurst=20

    [Install]
    WantedBy=multi-user.target

Enable it:

systemctl enable oled.service

I will have a look a it and try this week-end to add a few features like the detection of the airplay mode.

All the info is accessible via redis (activePlayer, act_player_info)

redis-cli get act_player_info
"{\"volume\":\"40\",\"repeat\":\"0\",\"random\":\"0\",\"single\":\"0\",\"consume\":\"0\",\"playlist\":\"109\",\"playlistlength\":\"313\",\"mixrampdb\":\"0.000000\",\"state\":\"play\",\"song\":\"312\",\"songid\":\"313\",\"time\":\"748\",\"elapsed\":\"3\",\"bitrate\":\"1336\",\"audio\":\"48000:24:2\",\"OK\":null,\"song_percent\":0,\"audio_sample_rate\":\"48\",\"audio_sample_depth\":\"24\",\"audio_channels\":\"Stereo\",\"changed\":\"playlist\",\"currentartist\":\"moe\",\"currentsong\":\"George\",\"currentalbum\":\"Live at Snow Ridge Ski Resort on 2008-08-31\",\"fileext\":\"flac\",\"radioname\":null,\"actPlayer\":\"MPD\"}"

You can use redis-py for the script.

Can anyone use that script with the correct display module, or is it specific to the Audiophonics DAC?

I was going to use an I2C display because it does not take up any additional GPIO pins, but if this one works with Rune and Arch, I might as well make use of it (shrug).

It looks to me like the script reads information from Rune, and has no interaction with the type or make of DAC used.

hondagx35

Hi Pete,

it doesn't read from Rune but from mpd.
This is the reason why you will not get info when playing spotify for example.

So to summarize, here is how to make the OLED 16x2 works on a Audiophonics RaspDAC V2 (I-sabre V2 DAC ES9023) with a Raspbesrry 2 (be aware I'm talking about RaspDAC V2 not V3) with RuneAudio.

First wired the RaspDAC and the OLED like shown in this page:
http://forum.audiophonics.fr/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=1492

Update your RuneUI:
#547

If you get a message:

error: Your local changes to the following files would be overwritten by merge: 
(...)
Please commit your changes or stash then before you can merge.

Then if you know your changes you can use

git reset --hard

or otherwise

git stash

Run a git pull once again:

git pull
curl -s -X GET 'http://localhost/clear'

Then:
set a softlink to python2

ln -s /usr/bin/python2 /usr/bin/python

install GCC

pacman -S gcc

install RPIO.gpio

wget https://pypi.python.org/packages/source/R/RPi.GPIO/RPi.GPIO-0.6.2.tar.gz
tar zxvf RPi.GPIO-0.6.2.tar.gz
cd RPi.GPIO-0.6.2
python setup.py install

get the python script and uncompress it
https://www.runeaudio.com/forum/assets/files/phpbb/505_f395fb4f29744891c23998889f5ede25.gz

tar zxvf 16x2_oled_runeaudio.tar.gz

copy this file

cp 16x2_oled_runeaudio.py /usr/local/bin/

nano /usr/lib/systemd/system/oled.service

Copy the following in the file:

    
[Unit]
    Description=Audiophonics OLED Service
    After=mpd.service

    [Service]
    ExecStart=/usr/bin/python /usr/local/bin/16x2_oled_runeaudio.py
    ExecReload=/usr/bin/kill -HUP $MAINPID
    KillMode=process
    Restart=always
    RestartSec=10
    StartLimitInterval=30
    StartLimitBurst=20

    [Install]
    WantedBy=multi-user.target

Enable the service

systemctl enable oled.service

Start the service

systemctl start oled.service

Many thanks Franck!
If I have forgotten something, tell me and I will add it.

hondagx35

Hi Bruno,

thank you for this detailed How-To.

If I have forget something, tell me and I will add it.

Looks as it is complete.

Can these instructions be used for LCD display (not OLED) that is HD44780 compatible ?
