VolumioLCD

VolumioLCD is a tool to display the Volumio player state on hd44780 LCD displays over I2C on a Raspberry Pi.

Features

• Works with all services supported by volumio (by using volumios REST API)
• No additional tools required (due to a custom hd44780 driver for the LCD)

Current Limitations

• Only 16x2 displays are supported
• No config, therefore hardcoded I2C address and line and volumio player URI

Installation

1. Install golang using the official .tar (do NOT use apt-get)
2. Clone the VolumioLCD repository to $GOPATH/src
3. inside the VolumioLCD directory: go get and then go install
4. start VolumioLCD on every boot (e.g. using systemd)
