Raspi Radio

A Raspbery Pi based network music player.

This repository consists of different parts: The webinterface and the controller.

Controller

  • main.py: This is the file that's used to start the controller. It controls the screen and does event dispatching.
  • buttons.py: Some constants that are used to identify button pushes.
  • events.py: Everything related to the event system. It contains a synchronized FIFO event queue and the event loop.
  • dispatchers.py: Dispatchers are used to handle specific events, for example a button press or a refresh event. Dispatcher instances can be attached to the dispatcher manager with a selector function. If the selector function returns True, the dispatcher is called.
  • messages.py: The message types that can be sent to the event loop.
  • screen.py: The virtual screens that are printed to the LCD.
  • input_worker.py: A worker thread that listens for user input via keyboard. This is only used for debugging purposes.
To start the controller from the command line:
python -m controller.main

Web

The web interface is used to configure the player, and things like WLAN.
It uses Flask as a web microframework.
To setup:
pip install --allow-external netifaces --allow-unverified netifaces -r web/requirements.txt
To start the webserver from the command line:
cd web
python server.py
