Amplifier Switch Plugin

SimonE · April 20, 2022, 7:17pm

Hi @SomethingGood
I installed the plugin (0.2.0) on V3.251 to see what it does. I don’t need it, but can’t uninstall. Each time I hit uninstall, it restarts the Volumio service, but the plugin is still there in my installed plugin list. I tried toggling between test plugin mode on and off and full power restart, but it’s still there. Also after a Volumio OTA upgrade,
Any ideas?

Thanks. I have not encountered that behavior. I can tell you how to force an uninstall from ssh, but would like to ask you, if you could reboot your volumio, try to uninstall (and probably fail) and provide me with a log file so I can see what goes wrong.

Unfortunately I have an extremely busy time at the moment, so the debugging and fixing will not happen for a number of weeks.

Thanks for bringing this to my attention.

Cheers!

This always happened to me with Volumio 2 as well.

Hi @SomethingGood, thanks for getting back so soon.
Here is the log

Not sure this plugin can run on volumio 3.
But in your case, the problem is that dependencies are missing to compile node modules.
You can try

sudo apt update
sudo apt install build-essential

And then try to install.
But it may not work

GlennBurnett · June 29, 2022, 7:55pm

Thanks balbuze!!

Plugin installed. However does not work, no configuration available. I manually created the configuration directory and copied the config.json file into /data/configuration/miscellanea/ampswitch and rebooted.

GlennBurnett · June 29, 2022, 8:07pm

@balbuze , I enabled test plugins from the dev page and the test version is working fine. Thanks for the suggestion and response!! I see a number of your posts and really appreciate your support!

Fu_Han · May 24, 2024, 10:16am

Hi. I try to download this but i get " error 404 page not exist". Will this plugin be available to download again?

GlennBurnett · May 26, 2024, 6:59pm

Hi Fu_Han, how did you try to download it? This works for me:

in the browser go to http://volumio.local/dev (replace volumio.local with your name or IP)
Click on the “True” button under Plugin Test Mode (no feedback will be provided)
Go to your Volumio homepage http://volumio.local (replace volumio.local with your name or IP)
Under the hamburger menu select plugins
Select “System Hardware”
in the Amplifier Switch plugin, select details
select Install V0.2.0 (Beta)
8 after install select enable
Go to the Installed Plugins Tab and configure.

Hope that Helps,

Glenn

Hi eveyone,

I have installed the Amplifier Switch Plugin, following the procedure described by GlennBurnett.
The plugin appears in the “Installed plugins” tab, is enabled, but the status is inactive.

I’ve been looking for log files and found one located at
/data/plugins/system_controller/ampswitch/npm-debug.log

It looks like the plugin didn’t install properly, here is the end of the log file:

Any help would be much appreciated.

The plugin works just fine, however maybe it’s time to upgrade your Volumio OS.
error Linux 4.9.41-v7+

Volumio runs on:
Linux version 6.1.77-v7l+

So which version are your running?

CRi · June 14, 2024, 8:05am

Hi Wheathen,

I guess I’m on the latest version, it’s a brand new install made with Raspberry Pi Imager.

volumio@volumio-kitchen:~$ uname -r
6.1.77-v7+

System Version: 3.703  Released: Tue 04 Jun 2024 08:41:12 PM CEST

Wheaten · June 14, 2024, 8:10am

Installed the plugin yesterday on V3.703, no issues found.
Please uninstall the plugin, reinstall it and send the complete log (copy the url here)

CRi · June 14, 2024, 8:28am

Uninstall doesn’t seem to work either.
It goes all the way but the plugin is still there, even after a reboot.

I’ll install a fresh system once again and try to install the plugin…

EDIT:
Mmm I can’t post a new message, new users seem restricted to 3 messages per topic

I restored volumio from a backup I made before installing the plugin, then tried to install it again.
Same issue happened.

Here is the log file:
http://logs.volumio.org/volumio/7FsdpIw.html

CRi · June 14, 2024, 10:09pm

Ok I managed to start the plugin!

The issue comes from the IO port. I tried another GPIO and it now works.
The problem is that my raspberry case uses GPIO7 for external relay control so I don’t have the choice to use another GPIO…

When using GPIO7, I get this error in the logs:

error: Failed callmethod call: Error: EBUSY: resource busy or locked, write

I guess it is used by something else, but what would that be?

CRi · June 17, 2024, 8:40am

It looks like GPIO7 is used by SPI CS1.
I don’t really know why Volumio enables SPI by default and I didn’t figure out how to disable it.

Nevertheless, you can reclaim GPIO7 by redirecting CS1 to another pin.
You just need to add this line is userconfig.txt:

dtoverlay=spi0-cs,cs1_pin=16

Cuong · October 17, 2024, 11:53am

My Pi5 installed “Amplifier switch plugin 0.2.0” but I cannot active it.
I connect Pi5 to Schiit Bifrost DAC through usb to Pioneer amplifier.
Please help me active or remove this plug.
