Hello Everyone – I hope that you can advise on the following: I would like to add three momentary pushbuttons to my DIY project – one for ‘play/pause’, one for ‘next track’ and a third for ‘previous track’
How can this be done?
I would also like to add a small colour OLED display that shows the music file that’s currently playing along with file information – thanks for any advise offered
Have you even looked at the plugin store, or searched this forum???
Hi, for the hardware side of things:
loveandf.com.
There are two ways to set what the button does, one is with the GPIO plugin mentioned(very easy and works like a breeze), the other is with triggerhappy. Both work equally good, stable, set and forget.
Only one little quirk, none can do the ‘hold to repeat’ function like we are used to from keyboards. Enjoy,
Greetings from Berlin
There’s a video on Youtube that appears to show a ‘two wire solution’ for the play/pause function – it appears that PIN 17 goes to GND via a resistor & momentary switch. The image on this forum appears to show that PIN 17 is permanently tied to GND via a 10K Ω resistor and is then ‘pulsed’ with 3.3V via a tact switch or similar to trigger the pause command – which method is correct?
Both, depending on pull-up or pull down approach.
