Title: I made a screen
Post by: Kenny Dave on April 08, 2024, 03:21:41 pm

The Web Service Interface is pretty nifty. I made a little screen for my desktop with it.

Obviously I haven't quite got the hang of graphic design yet, and a couple of technical bits to tidy, but I'll get there.

That looks great. What is the hardware?
I have a LCD connected to a pi0w as a much more basic idea in the same vein.

Thanks. It's one of these (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Bewinner-Monitor-Computer-Temperature-800x480/dp/B0BCGZMMQ1/).

So probably pretty similar to what you have connected to the Pi. Are you running jriver on the Pi???

I used mathoudebine (https://github.com/mathoudebine/turing-smart-screen-python)'s python project for the talking to it, and built on that. The interface stuff I haven't a clue about, getting it out of jriver is pretty straightforward with the WSI.

Oh, that's a very interesting project!

I'm running tinycore linux on the display box and I just added the address of one of my IdPi's for it to query using MCWS

That's really cool. And another thing that jriver can do that I knew nothing about. It never seems to stop, the depth. I'll be dead before I hit the bottom.

It's getting prettier.

More geekery: a macropad with wheels. The jog wheel works lovely. Active window for other apps, not so great with browsers as yet.

Ignore the dust, I'm blaming the flash.

Okay, that's pretty neat. I've been thinking about doing something like this to control MC. :D

Thanks! They are a bit of a pain. I can only assign key presses, so I've had to painfully assign keyboard shortcuts one by one in Mint to it. I'll share the script that turns those into commands on request.

The keypress is assigned to the memory of the board, there isn't currently a program that is capable of this in linux for mine so I've had to use a VM and windows. The variety of different boards out there is large, and they work differently. Some are ok, mine will be up and running soon hopefully. It was only 25 quid.

The browser volume control isn't very functional as it opens a new input-sink for each vid being played. The buttons I've got next and previous track, and switch audio output device on too.

I'd like to be able to set seq from sort and assign that to a button, but haven't been able to work out how as yet.
