This weekend’s project is to build a media player for use in a trailer when on vacation. \u00a0The requirements are:\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Runs on 12v<\/li>\n
  2. Makes noise.<\/li>\n
  3. Local Display<\/li>\n
  4. Primitive controls<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    So the simple way to do this is to use a raspberry pi<\/a> and a music player package. To make life simpler, a HifiBerry<\/a>\u00a0is used. It has a built in DAC and 2x25w class D amplifier built in. It also runs on 12V, powers the pi and is supported by volumio<\/a>\u00a0and other packages (moode, rune etc) which are all derivatives, I think.<\/p>\n

    The basic setup came up right away, with minimal configuring: Web server, sound, console on the 7″ display.<\/a><\/p>\n

    Now the fun starts. \u00a0I want to replace the hdmi display with a smaller (eg\u00a0ILI9341<\/strong>\u00a0qvga) display, and use some buttons, and encoder to navigate and change volume, and shutdown etc.<\/p>\n

    Update:<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/a>I’ve got the ILI9341 running using the adafruit<\/a>\u00a0driver and some python code (which kind of rubs me the wrong way as an embedded guy, but it does work). \u00a0Anyway here it a W.I.P:<\/p>\n
