tinyfm

tinyfm sandbox image for development purpose.

Because developing straight on a RaspberryPi is long and tedious, this Vagrant image helps to replicate a similar environment to the tinyfm board.

It setups:

• a Mopidy server to manage a media playlist of digital assets to broadcast over FM;
• the tinyfm Client-app to request media assets to be broadcasted;
• the mpd2fm bridge which broadcasts playback to FM waves.

This project has been initiated as part of Al Jazeera Canvas hackaton in November 2014.

Install

The install procedures downloads a fair amount of useful packages, configuration files and services. It should take a couple of minutes to be ready.

Vagrant sandbox

Requires Vagrant and VirtualBox.

git clone https://github.com/tinyfm/sandbox.git tinyfm-sandbox
cd tinyfm-sandbox && vagrant up

On a Raspberry Pi

wget -q -O - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tinyfm/sandbox/master/install.sh | bash -

Usage

An Web server should be running on localhost:6680.

The content of the tracklist can be displayed with a small Node script:

npm install

HOST=localhost node src/display-tracks.js

Raspberry Pi

When install.sh is run on a Raspberry Pi, it should make it visible through the ZeroConf/Bonjour/mDNS protocol.

ssh pi@raspberrypi.local
