This is an extension for Mopidy to control your music via buttons. There are 4 dedicated playlist buttons, when pressed
a playlist starts. Volume control is done via a rotary encoder and the LCD screen displays relevant information.


Installation
============

Install by running::

pip install Mopidy-GPIOcont

Or, if available, install the Debian/Ubuntu package from `apt.mopidy.com
<http://apt.mopidy.com/>`_.


Configuration
=============

Before starting Mopidy, you must add configuration for
Mopidy-GPIOcont to your Mopidy configuration file (Note that the list_name are strings and should not be followed by a space)::

[gpiocont]
enabled = true
play_pin = 4
next_pin = 23
prev_pin = 24
vol_a_pin = 17
vol_b_pin = 18
vol_bounce_time = 10
vol_change = 2
list1_pin = 6
list2_pin = 13
list3_pin = 19
list4_pin = 26
list1_name = Awesome Mix Vol.1
list2_name = Awesome Mix Vol.2
list3_name = Heerenhuis UU7
list4_name = Loge, koffie!
lcd_enable = true
lcd_address = 38
lcd_port = 1

The configuration shown here is also the default configuration. Below is an explanation for each setting
(Pins are in BCM mode you can see `here <http://raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/a/12967>`_ what your pin numbers are.).

Since Mopidy-GPIOcont uses the internal pullup resistors of your Raspberry, buttons should be connected as:

[Pin] -> [Button] -> [Ground].

Configuration options
=====================
Not all config values have to be set, below is an explanation for each configuration value.

REQUIRED

``enabled``: If the extension is enabled or not.

``list<i>_name``: Name of your dedicated playlist (no trailing spaces).

``lcd_address``: Address of your LCD screen on the I2C bus. Hexadecimal without the leading "0x".
Can be found with ``sudo i2cdetect -y 1`` or ``sudo i2cdetect -y 0``.
This command uses the i2c-tools ``sudo apt-get install i2c-tools``.

OPTIONAL (Else default values are used)

``play_pin``: Location of your play/pause button.

``next_pin`` and ``prev_pin`` : Location of your next and previous button.

``vol_a_pin``: Location of channel A of your rotary encoder (also sometimes CLK).

``vol_b_pin``: Location of channel B of your rotary encoder (also sometimes DT).

``list<i>_pin``: Location of your dedicated playlist buttons.

``lcd_enable``: If you want to enable your LCD screen.

``lcd_port``: Port of the I2C bus (0 for RasPi 1 and 1 for Raspi 2/3).


These two settings have to be adjusted to fit your rotary encoder if your volume control is not working well.

``vol_bounce_time``: Time in milliseconds to wait before another edge is detected on channel A.

``vol_change``: Change in volume (up/down) per detected edge on channel A.
