LCDeej

Control your audio sessions with the spin of a Wheel!

LCDeej is an enhanced version of the Deej app developed by omriharel, now with an added LCD screen for Arduino. This feature transforms your setup into a multimedia hub, displaying song titles and authors. The application is also built using Python.

Features

• LCD Power Management: Automatic LCD power-off after a set time to save energy.
• Customizable Code: Fully commented and easy to modify to fit your specific needs.
• Efficient Resource Usage: Optimized to run with minimal system resources.
• Windows Support: Compatible with Windows 10 and later versions.

Build Your Own

Materials Needed:

• Arduino Nano or Similar: Compatible with Chinese replicas.
• 4 x 10k Potentiometers
• 16x2 LCD Screen: Optimized for I2C communication.
• A Computer
• Assorted Jumper Wires

Instructions for Assembling the Potentiometers

1. Prepare the Potentiometers:

   • Gather your four 10k potentiometers.
   • Identify the three pins on each potentiometer: the two outer pins are for VCC (power) and GND (ground), and the middle pin is for the analog signal.

2. Connect to Arduino:

   • Connect one outer pin of each potentiometer to the 5V pin on the Arduino.
   • Connect the other outer pin of each potentiometer to a common GND on the Arduino.

3. Connect the Signal Pins:

   • Connect the middle pin of each potentiometer to the following analog input pins on the Arduino:
     • Potentiometer 1 to A0
     • Potentiometer 2 to A1
     • Potentiometer 3 to A2
     • Potentiometer 4 to A3

4. Verify Connections:

   • Double-check all connections to ensure they are secure and correct.
   • Ensure there are no short circuits or loose wires (Nanos tend to die)

Installation

For new users without python and pip: Download and install python3.9 https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-3919/

        python --version
        pip --version

If you already have python installed:

        pip install -r requirements.txt

Now lets flash our Arduino board:

        open own_dej.ino -> Verify -> Upload

Modify line COM_PORT = COMX to your own port and run:

        python3.9 deej.py

or run .exe on releases.
