Executive Summary

This project is making a device using the Beaglebone which can stream music through spotify. The final result displays a mopidy interface on an LCD screen that can be controlled using buttons as GPIO into the Beaglebone. This is done using Mopidy, specifically the Mopidy-spotify, Mopidy-touchscreen and Mopidy-GPIO extensions. In order to adapt the existing code to our project, we created our own mopidy extension and tailored the code so that it works the way we want it to. The output audio is controlled using PulseAudio and comes out from the USB port through a USB-AUX adapter.

6) Run the program. sudo mopidy

User Instructions

First, make sure that a speaker or headphones are plugged in to the aux port of the USB-AUX adapter. Plug in the beaglebone, upon startup it should run the program. Use the buttons to navigate around the touch screen (up, left, down, right and enter are the buttons). Once you find the song that you want, you can play it and it should come out of the speaker/headphones!

Theory of Operation

Pipeline

The user interacts with the LCD touchscreen, which uses the Mopidy-Touchscreen extension that has already been written. When the user selects a song, a request is sent to spotify using the Mopidy-Spotify extension. Once the data returns, the song begins to play, and the audio output is handled using the PulseAudio package. There are several different screens in the UI that shows up on the LCD. One option given is to search songs, another is to look up the top songs/artists/albums, and another is to look at the song that is currently playing and gives you the ability to pause or skip it as well as check how much of it is left. There is also a page with settings, which allows you to exit out of mopidy, which will return the beaglebone to normal operation, or to turn off the beaglebone altogether.

Future Work

One really cool thing that could be done is adding a voice recognition component to the project so that it works similar to Alexa where a user can speak to it and request a song. This could be done using the Mopidy-Headless extension and adapting it with open source voice recognition. A more immediate action however would be to get the system working with a wifi dongle so that it doesn't have to be plugged into the laptop and can be simply plugged into the wall and have the system run.

Conclusions

A lot of this project was adapting previous work that had been done, which made it rather smooth. It would have been interesting to create our own user interface, but we didn't really see the point in doing so as it is much easier to adapt work that has been done (yay open source!).
