Purpose

The purpose of this fork is to strip all button (pushbutton and rotary encoder) functionality from original Volumio-OledUI, retaining only display functionality. Convenient for next level of DYIing of Volumio player.

Hardware

• Raspberry Pi 2B/3B with Volumio2 image
• 256x64 Pixels 4-wire SPI OLED Display with SSD1322 controller IC (e.g. ER-OLEDM032-1W)

Dependencies

• socketIO-client
• PIL
• luma.oled

Install

get ssh access to Volumio, login and enable SPI bus by adding

dtparam=spi=on

to /boot/userconfig.txt

installation steps

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y python-dev python-pip libfreetype6-dev libjpeg-dev build-essential python-rpi.gpio
sudo pip install --upgrade pip wheel
sudo pip install --upgrade setuptools
sudo pip install --upgrade socketIO-client luma.core==1.8.3 luma.oled==3.1.0
git clone https://github.com/isoniks/volui.git
chmod +x ~/volui/oledui.py
sudo cp ~/volui/oledui.service /lib/systemd/system/
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl enable oledui.service
reboot

how to check the logs

sudo journalctl -fu oledui.service
