Good Evening All
I currently use rune audio (moved to Volumio due to the problems which I now managed to rectify with help on this forum...thanks!).
I have a pioneer amp & cd player and was thinking about buying a broken Pioneer tape deck to rip out the insides and house a raspberry pi so it matched the rest of the separates.
I would put a screen in place of the cassette transport and use the screen for album art. Then I would take out the peak meters and place a long monochrome LCD screen for track title, artist etc. If I can get the buttons to work then great but not a priority.
Can you use 2 separate screens/LCD displays with one pi? Don't have to be touch sensitive. Maybe use the hdmi out for the large screen and gpio pins for the 2nd screen.
Has anybody attempted this before and if so how did you get on?
The other alternative is to use the cassette draw with a hdmi screen and use the peak level LED's by attaching a cable the headphone socket on the Pi NOT the DAC and connect it to the socket on the board that the tape head would normally plug into and take out the phono plugs and replace them with a direct connection to the Pi DAC. This would in theoey make the meters work. I know I would need 2 power supplies for this to work.
Am I making sense?
