Here’s how to get started: Set an SD card up with the latest version of Raspbian. Connect to Wi-Fi or a wired network. Open a terminal and type the following: git clone https://github.com/pimoroni/pirate-audio cd pirate-audio/mopidy sudo ./install.sh Reboot your Pi You can find more detailed instructions here: https://github.com/pimoroni/pirate-audio/tree/master/mopidy or get tonnes moreinfoin our Getting Started with Pirate Audio tutorial. Notes Note that the installer, linked above, does all of the below for you, but if you’re an intrepid hacker then you might need to know this stuff! The low-gain mode is recommended for most use-cases. The DAC can be configured by adding dtoverlay=hifiberry-dac to the /boot/config.txt file. There is a DACenable pinBCM 25 that must be driven high to enable the DAC. You can do this by adding gpio=25=op,dh to the /boot/config.txt file. The buttons are active low, and connected to pinsBCM 5, 6, 16, and 20 The display uses SPI, and you’ll need to enable SPI through the Raspberry Pi configuration menu. If you want to use these boards with a Pibow Coup case (either for the Zero / Zero W or Pi4), then you’ll need to use a booster header to raise it up a little. 0 Reviews Hide Reviews Show Reviews
