HELP! I NEED HELP IT WONT WORK BUT I DONT GOT DISCORD. WHAT DO I DOOOOOOOO!?!?!!??!

@petershillito 10 месяцев назад

knowing there's an affordable colour eink display that hooks directly into a Raspberry Pi, this opens up a lot of interesting projects for on-device and Internet-connected stuff. I'm not a Spotify user so I won't be doing this particular project, but excited to try out other stuff.

@walnutproz 9 месяцев назад

72 dollars for a e ink display is not affordable. at this point i can just buy a used gaming monitor 22 inches instead

@skydivenext 9 месяцев назад

Your face says it all lol Yo DO this projects

@walnutproz 9 месяцев назад

@initialsven165no im just doing a comparison. there are tons of 4-8 inch regular LCD screens that are cheaper yet way better and serve the same purpose. dont know why you would want to use an eink (only reason I see is battery life but this is staying on your desk anyway). also you can buy a whole ass android tablet or chromebook for that price (not even including the pi price itself!) and have battery and speakers built into one easy and nice package. next time actually use your brain and common sense

This project is absolutely amazing! I am a huge fan of functional art or artistic technology. Will try this one out as soon as I get my hands on this display !

@ccricers 9 месяцев назад

I never would've thought of displaying music album art as an application for a color e-ink screen but it totally makes sense when I see it. I'd like to see this project using local media (I usually prefer locally owned media it to cloud music streaming).

Just came across this and threw it together this morning. Works great. Just a bummer that the refresh time is so slow on those displays.

@robertcarolinar Год назад

Really interesting project, I wish I could do that but I think I have to learn more about Raspberry pi and coding before trying something like this. Thanks for the video! 👏👏

@johnsch8634 9 месяцев назад

That's really cool, you've found a great usage for the fantastic looking E-ink gallery screens. I'm looking forward to when they can get the update speeds better for more devices/

@sexy_koala_juice 6 месяцев назад

This is super cool!!! I built something like this a few years back using a few LED matrices to show the album art and currently playing song. I haven't even watched the video yet but just the fact you're listening to MF DOOM is dope af. +1 sub

@messiah4776 10 месяцев назад

@Dudeitsbrian 9 месяцев назад

Awesome build. Wondering what else the Spotify api allows. Those extra buttons being able to control music would go hard

@slinrellek 8 месяцев назад

Hi the spotify api allows you playback controls ect. I forked he project and added a service that you can use the 4 buttons on the screen to play/paus, go to the previous next track of toggel repeat.

@blackurban1 10 месяцев назад

You have no idea how much I loved this project. I got really into a CD player that you could hang in your wall and it played your music from the CD and you could place the cover in there as well. It looked really good that I wanted it so bad, but this project, is a million times better. I really hope that, soon, you can also add speakers and some wifi or bluetooth capability so I can hang it on my wall and listen to Spotify directly from there. Would look amazing on my living room 😂

@vleiznaid 9 месяцев назад

at that point you would want a android tv stick plugged into a tv like Samsungs super flat wallpaper tvs and have it hand up on the wall, you could also get a sick 3D. sound system and place it in all four corners of your room for that extra oomph!

@sethpolevoi4027 8 месяцев назад

It’s possible your issues with the PLA were from humidity. I’m not sure how old your PLA was, but that’s a common issue. You also had what looked like layer adhesion issues which could be from bad PLA or printing at too low of temperature

@armyperson59 6 месяцев назад

docker support? i dont even have the e-ink display but im tempted to fork your repo and add a dockerfile/docker-compose file just for ease of use for when i do get around to getting one someday

I've never had good luck with Matte PLA. The standard type is fine for many projects, though.

@IamTheBigB96 Год назад

Love the project and immediately had to try it out. I followed all of the steps you detailed out but can't seem to get the e-ink display to update with any album art. I'm currently using a Pi Zero W with the 5.7" display. No data appears in the Spotify developer dashboard, which makes me think there is an issue with the connection to Spotify? Any troubleshooting tips would be greatly appreciated!

@rwardtech Год назад

Thanks for testing it out! I actually noticed that there is an issue in the install script. You should redownload the script using wget and re-run it. I went ahead and updated it on GitHub. Additionally, if you can't figure it out I have a Discord for troubleshooting questions: discord.gg/hAPgtXF8aT

@rastamouse7861 5 месяцев назад

Turn this thing into a wedge, add a DAC and a speaker and you got something completely stand alone and fully functional! I wonder if this display will work natively with Volumio with the touch display plugin.

@jasongreenwood3260 Год назад

I would be interested in the refresh rate of this display. Nice project though. I have a Pi02W...I've been wondering what to do with it other than a Retro-Pi. This might be it!

@rwardtech Год назад

This display unfortunately takes around 30 seconds to refresh. However since most songs are 3+ minutes I never saw it as an issue

Hi Ryan! This is a truly amazing project. I don't have a ink display, but a regular DSI display (touchscreen). Is it possible to project now playing on that screen too?

@akshaytanejaF1 7 месяцев назад

Still trying to figure this out. Will look into the code. Still installing RPi OS. Days into project: 1/Many Edit: Followed this video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6i8kzqvh94E.html but did not install the RGB matrix. Now going through the displayCoverArt.py file in /home/pi/spotipi/python. This file seems to be outputting the cover art onto the display. So, I am hoping if we change the output device- so to say, we should be able to get the cover art on a different screen. Days into project: 1/Many

@omega5973 10 месяцев назад

i dont really have the equipment to make such thing but i would probably buy it if it was for sale

@gron_simon Год назад

Looks great! Is it possible to replace the cover in the background with a white area for a clean look?

@rwardtech Год назад

Thank you so much! Yes that is very easy to do. There is a file called "spotipi.html" and all you have to do is modify that with the css that you want to use.

Hey, this is really cool project! How hard would it be to set this up as a spotify connect device with an audio output for a speaker, and add some controls to the screen buttons for skipping songs etc? I'd love to try and build this, but not sure whether to start with this display or start with a spotify connect device and add display functionality!

@slimeinacloak 10 месяцев назад

Not sure about spotify connect but I have a raspberry pi connected to a set of speakers running shairport-sync and that allows for it to be an apple airplay device like a homepod, could be a cool to use these two project together to get something similar to what you want
