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.

Installation Instructions

Give step by step instructions on how to install your project.

  • Include your github path as a link like this to the read-only git site: https://github.com/MarkAYoder/gitLearn.
  • Be sure your README.md is includes an up-to-date and clear description of your project so that someone who comes across you git repository can quickly learn what you did and how they can reproduce it.
  • Include a Makefile for your code if using C.
  • Include any additional packages installed via apt. Include install.sh and setup.sh files.
  • Include kernel mods.
  • If there is extra hardware needed, include links to where it can be obtained.

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!

Highlights

Here is where you brag about what your project can do.

Include a YouTube demo the audio description.

Theory of Operation

Give a high level overview of the structure of your software. Are you using GStreamer? Show a diagram of the pipeline. Are you running multiple tasks? Show what they do and how they interact.

Work Breakdown

List the major tasks in your project and who did what.

Also list here what doesn't work yet and when you think it will be finished and who is finishing it.

Future Work

Suggest addition things that could be done with this project.

Conclusions

Give some concluding thoughts about the project. Suggest some future additions that could make it even more interesting.
