has anyone had a go at scrolling track names from the pirate radio/mopidy to the scroll phat hd?
using pivumeter is it not currently possible, but might be in the future. That said, there is no reason why someone/you get some homegrown solution off the ground!
what about with phat dac instead?
hum, if I undertsand the question correctly, the DAC really has nothing to do with the hardware used for displaying data (audio-derived, or scrolling text).
… the VU meter, or rather FFT-based EQ in this case, is driven by pivumeter
, which cannot (currently) switch to display audio and then magically let the python library (or anything else) display something else onto the hardware.
Like I said @gadgetoid has some plan to make that possible, in the future, but I can’t give you a timeline, or for that matter, whether his current direction of investigation can be guaranteed to provide what we are discussing here in the way discussed. Wait and see :)
