LCD display and buttons in Python (tutorial and code)

[jeroenrood]

Okay,
It looks like it's working now.
The problem was the assignment of the Volume Down button to pin 12. (= I2S BitClock on RP3 )
After assigning it to pin 16 the music continues to play.

I followed s.k.'s method on page 12 and I easily had a working 20 x 4 LCD

However after a few days all the display will show is the track that was playing prior to the previous shutdown and is totally unresponsive.
I deleted the LCD folder and rune lcd service file, rebooted a couple of times then repeated the installation procedure but still stuck with just the previous shutdown track displayed.

Any guesses as to whats happened ?? its as though the command Restart=always in rune_lcd.service isnt restarting.
I guess a fresh install of Rune is the only way to get back to a woking system ?

## EDIT ##
I changed "RestartSec=1" to "RestartSec=5" in /usr/lib/systemd/system/rune_lcd.service and it seems to be behaving once again

Hi!
I have Raspberry Pi 3 Model B with RuneAudio 0.4 beta 20160321.
My working version is the parallel LCD connection: https://github.com/lukazgur/RuneAudioLCDMod.
Everything is OK, but after changing and applaying of the MPD settings information on the display isn't updated, required restart of a RuneAudio. At the same time buttons and IR work normally. In what can be a problem (possibly the display client is disconnected by MPD, so how automatically to restart it after MPD updating)?

I am new to Runeaudio although I am using XBMC KODI (openelec etc) since 2014. I use a 16x2 LCD in I2C mode in my setup which is RPi3 with ALLO BOSS HAT. The LCD runs well in Libreelec in I2C mode and I wish to run the same in RuneAudio too.
I got to this thread read it from start to finish but is confused regarding the installation procedure. The first post although has elaborate tutorial yet it's meant for LCD in 4Bit mode. There are ways to get LCD running in I2C mode throughout the thread which I observe. But it's too confusing.
So, while thanking the OP and other contributors for this project I would like to request them to please put put a comprehensive guide for noibs like us especially for running LCD in I2C mode.

Thank you Rune team for the great job. I also followed s.k.'s method on page 12 and now I have a working RPi + PIFI Digi DAC+ 20 x 4 LCD and buttons. I add one standalone Arduino to control Raspberry , don't use serial communication but opto-coupler to act like buttons and I do this to isolate SBC from the microcontroller and also to change the buttons with rotary encoders . I disable remote control on raspberry and will add a remote for arduino to control the same opto-couplers and finish this with a pass band filter . Please excuse my bad english.
PS: looking forward to change PiFi DAC with Allo Kali Reclocker + AKM AK4495EQ ( if somebody can help me to setup this please send me a message )

Hi everyone, there is some good soul among you who would like to adjust the tutorial to be able to install the i2c display with 4 wires and the various steps with all the dependencies, that in following it, get lost ... Between Python 2 - Python 3 Adafruit libraries .. etc .. etc ..
Thank you .

Hello everyone
I tried again to re-write the Rune image and reinstall everything following the post 67 on page 12 but I couldn't see anything on the display.
I then tried to install Python2 again and I get this:



probably not properly installed python 2.
Is this the cause? What can I do?
Thank you.
