Mopidy-VFD

Mopidy extension to display track information on a VFD

Prerequisites

Raspbian and Mopidy installation

Follow the instructions on https://docs.mopidy.com/en/latest/installation/raspberrypi/ to install both the Raspberry PI Debian based operating system as well as Mopidy.

PIP support

Raspberry buster comes with python3.7, but not with pip, so:

sudo apt install python3-pip

SPI support

First, run:

sudo raspi-config

and enable SPI. The SPI python driver has to be installed:

sudo python3.7 -m pip install spidev

Nortitake support

For now, until there is a pypi package available:

sudo apt install git
git clone https://github.com/PeterWurmsdobler/noritake.git
cd noritake
sudo python3.7 ./setup.py install

Installation

For now, until there is a pypi package available:

sudo apt install git
git clone https://github.com/PeterWurmsdobler/mopidy-vfd.git
cd mopidy-vfd
sudo python3.7 ./setup.py install
