The BOSS2 OLED application runs on Python 3.4 and higher.

It handles the front panel display and user interface, including:

  • volume settings
  • controlling Allo Boss2 amixer controls
  • filter settings
  • RMS voltage level

Tested on:

  • RoPieee
  • RoPieee XL
  • MoOde
  • DietPi
  • Volumio
  • Max2play
  • OSMC

Installation - OSMC

  • Login as root user
cd /tmp
git clone https://github.com/de-mux/allo_boss2_oled_p3.git
cd boss2_oled_p3
./install_boss2_oled.sh

After installation, the splash screen should appear on the front panel display for a brief moment, and should then display the main screen with volume setting and bitstream info if audio is playing.

To uninstall

sudo /opt/boss2_oled/uninstall.sh

Installation - RoPieee, RoPieee XL, MoOde, DietPi, Volumio, Max2play

  • Login as root user
cd /opt/
git clone https://github.com/de-mux/allo_boss2_oled_p3.git
cd boss2_oled_p3
./install_boss2_oled.sh

Automatically downloads and installs required packages for the respective OS and reboots. Every reboot starts boss2_oled display, checks the Boss2 sound device on startup. If no Boss2 hardware is found the application exits.

Other OS

If Python 2 is not installed, install manually.

Required packages after installing python2:

apt-get -y update
apt-get install python3
apt-get -y install python3-rpi.gpio (if doesnt work install pip and then run pip2 install RPi.GPIO==0.7.0)
apt-get -y install python3-pip
apt-get -y install python3-smbus (if does not work then run pip2 install smbus)
apt-get -y install python3-pil  (or apt-get -y install python3-pillow)

Enable i2c manually or check i2cdetect -y 1.
