There are a lot of really nice builds from the community and thought I would share mine.I just finished building my Volumio streamer based on a Pi 4B and a wonderful kit from a gentleman named Vincent Fong. You can see the kit unboxing in his YT video here. DIY Raspberry Pi Player Kit Unboxing and Assembly - YouTube It is in Chinese but he is available for any questions via messenger. Extremely helpful and knowledgeable guy. I also have the first kit that was shipped to the USA so pretty excited about that. Just a quick note. I paid for the kit including shipping from HK to the U.S. and this is not a paid endorsement of Vincent’s product. It’s just that good and would love to see more people build the kit. In the world of audio it’s a bargain IMHO.
I am currently running Volumio Ver 3.233 using a Pi 4B 8Gb and 64Gig SD card. The unit is performing exceptionally well and I’m thrilled with it. I have also gotten the PeppyMeter plugin installed and working perfectly. It features a 5.5" touchscreen as well. It sends the music to a Schitt Modi 3+ then to a Akitika Preamp I built and then to my restored ST-70.
The issue I am having is trying to initiate a soft shutdown and boot up via a momentary pushbutton. I can get the wake function to work but not the shutdown. I am trying to use physical pins 5 and 6 (GPIO 3 and GND)The led indicator I have working off of physical pins 9 and 10. I have tried a bunch of stuff but cannot get the shutdown to function. I do not see the GPIO plugin available anymore so that option is not there unless I’m wrong about that. I know enough on the software side to SSH into the Pi but that’s where my skills fall off. ANY help sorting out this issue would be greatly appreciated.
Here are some pictures of the build as well as the power button I am using.
