OledUI-Remote

---

This code is a "remote"-version of Maschine2501/NR1-UI.

The Idea behind it:

A wireless remote control with SSD1309 SPI Display (128x64) Display and a Raspberry Pi Zero W with a Battery-Pack.

The Project is in an early stage... so be patient ;)

installation steps

---

Make an SD-Card with an "Raspbian Buster Lite" Image ready:

1st - Download Image: Raspbian Images

2nd - flash it to the SD-Card: Use "Win32Diskimager"

3rd - Go to the "root" folder of the SD Card

• Open "config.txt" -> remove the "#" before "dtparam=spi=on" to activate SPI

• make a new textfile called "ssh" -> no .txt at the end!

• Make a new textfile called "wpa_supplicant.conf" -> put this text in it, and edit it for your case:

country=US
ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=netdev
update_config=1

network={
    ssid="NETWORK-NAME"
    psk="NETWORK-PASSWORD"
}

4th - remove SD Card, put it in your Pi Zero and let it boot (takes a few minutes)

5th - Connect to the Pi Zero with SSH (Putty/Kitty) (User: pi / PW: raspberry)

1st step:

---

configure time(-zone) and update the package list

sudo dpkg-reconfigure tzdata

sudo apt-get update

2nd step:

---

Update your default pip installation with:

sudo apt install python3-pip

sudo pip3 install -U pip

sudo pip3 install -U setuptools

3th step:

---

install all dependencies

sudo apt-get install -y python3-dev python3-setuptools python3-pip libfreetype6-dev libjpeg-dev build-essential python-rpi.gpio python3-rpi.gpio libopenjp2-7-dev libtiff5 libcurl4-openssl-dev libssl-dev git

sudo pip3 install --upgrade setuptools pip wheel

sudo pip3 install socketIO-client

pip3 install luma.oled

sudo pip3 install pycurl

4th step:

---

install RC2-UI

git clone https://github.com/Maschine2501/RC2-UI.git
 
chmod +x ~/RC2-UI/rc2ui.py
 
sudo cp ~/RC2-UI/rc2ui.service /lib/systemd/system/
 
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
 
sudo systemctl enable rc2ui.service

sudo reboot

You need another Volumio-Client running!!

The RC2-UI needs another Volumio-Host reachable under "volumio.local"

If something is wrong:

check the journal!

sudo journalctl -fu rc2ui.service

Uninstall

---

cd

sudo rm -r RC2-UI

sudo systemctl disable rc2ui.service
