I have got a piface display 2, when I try to run the script I have an error

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "/python/radio.py", line 131, in <module>

cad = pifacecad.pifacecad()

AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'pifacecad'

I have the same problem as Jaroslaw

How to do this right, how to write the script?

Cool introduction.
I had, however a "TypeError: expected an object with the buffer interface" on every line with a find() method on the return of the subprocess() method.

Reason: subporcess() always returns bytecode unless you give it an argument 'universal_newlines=True'.

So, eg the function display_volume()

is now:

def display_volume():

volume = subprocess.check_output("mpc status | grep volume", shell=True, stderr=subprocess.STDOUT)

volume = volume[7:volume.find("%")+1]

cad.lcd.set_cursor(12, 1)

cad.lcd.write(volume)

and it should be:

def display_volume():

volume = subprocess.check_output("mpc status | grep volume", shell=True, stderr=subprocess.STDOUT, universal_newlines=True)

volume = volume[7:volume.find("%")+1]

cad.lcd.set_cursor(12, 1)

cad.lcd.write(volume)

Add the argument in all occurences of your code and you'll be fine..

Hi Frederick,

I had this great script running for some time as our internet radio on a raspberry pi + piface. Since a recent update of the raspberry pi introduced device tree, I can only use it if I disable the device tree using raspi-config. Took me some time to figure this out.

As disabling the device tree is mentioned to be a temporary feature - what do I have to change to keep it running with device tree enabled? I don't know much about programming for raspi pi yet - but I am willing learn it.

Thank you very much!

Phillip

If I wanted to modify the code so that the first line of text reflected the station information and he second scrolled the name of the song, h

I think it is possible. If you run "mpc status" you will see some info about radio station and most of them shows the song name currenly playing so you can parse it from that status string.

Regards.
