Feature Request: Pair another bombeastic speaker for stereo via bluetooth

I'm going to attempt to make a mini version of this speaker but it would be cool to be able to update it later and allow it to be paired with another speaker for stereo sound similar to the way the MiniRig system works.

Get rid of the pop noise between tracks

it seems Adafruit already managed to fix the issue already (we use the same chip), but it requires kernel 4.4 on ResinOS with support for the new dtbos

Even when we get 4.4 merged, we will still need to figure out how to configure 2 dtoverlay entries in config.txt (supervisor allows only one atm) - this can be achieved by improving the supervisor itself but in the meantime we can workaround by using the device_tree_overlay alias for the second parameter

split hardware design files into their own project

Currently https://github.com/resin-io-projects/boombeastic/tree/master/designs result in a large amount of additional data that needs to be pushed and pulled to and from remote git endpoints, which slows down build times.

setuptools is outdated error

I cant install the software because I run in the setuptools is outdated error and Command python setup.py egg_info failed with error code 1 in /tmp/pip-build-56Ct94/MechanicalSoup

A solution would be to use pip3 but no mater what I change in the Dockerfile.template it is ignored.
Iwould like to change in the apt-get portion to install python3-pip \ instead of python-pip
And then use pip3 instead of pip
Unfotunately my local changes are ignored, I don't know why I had to clone the repository when it is not used by the installer anyhow,....

This is super frustrating and I have no idea how to solve this issue.

Please help

No persistent storage for Mopidy

Looks like Mopidy's storage is using /data, but that is not a persistent storage in the current setup. My guess would be leftover from the singlecontainer ways, that wasn't implemented when the multicontainer setup happened. Likely need to add a volume so saved settings, etc can be used.

Adding extra Mopidy plugins that don't need any setup, to expand functionality

Some useful streaming services:

Mopidy-InternetArchive
Mopidy-SomaFM
Mopidy-TuneIn

for example. Likely there's more useful, this is just brainstorm at this stage.

Any way to fix this?
Thanks

ethernet connection does not get validated if there were no previous wifi-connect interactions

the chunk of logic in start.sh that checks for network connectivity ignores the following case, triggering resin-wifi-connect even if not required:

User never configured a wifi SSID via resin-wifi-connect
Device is connected via ethernet

expose a set of API and an interface to allow users to draw emojis on the LED matrix

Like I did here

Add gesture control

it could be really cool to add a Skywriter-hat embedded in the boombeastic so a user could control playback by waving at the device.

Since the skywriter generates an EM field, it could interfere with other electronics and possibly lower the sound quality, so this needs a test-run to be investigated before adding software implementation

device does not show wifi-connect emoji anymore

the expected behaviour is that when resin-wifi-connect is started, a wifi emoji is displayed on the LED matrix

Write an Angular or React modern web client for mopidy

the plan is to develop on top of the Mopidy javascript library.

it will be great to integrate the LED matrix APIs so a user could draw on it directly from the same web-interface (or maybe the we could get more ambitious and allow the user to assign an emoji to a song or playlist and then the boombeastic will draw the emoji on playback based on the song being reproduced).

Having a boombeastic at hand is not required to develop on Mopidy since you can run it locally on your computer

more info on Mopidy web clients here

move the supervisor status logic into a separate module

this should have been a separate module from the beginning

Add A2DP bluetooth audio

It would be great to have the possibility to stream audio to the boombeastic via bluetooth.

The idea is to develop this feature and wrap it as a Mopidy backend extension

"Vistatron" wiki typos

Hi! Neat project!

The wiki says "Vistatron" in both BoM listings. The company name is actually "Visaton" (http://www.visaton.de). Vistratron is a good name for a speaker or a transformer though. 😄

Docs: variable values are mis-identified

Creating an issue because it's a wiki and I'd like to make sure I understand this correctly before changing the wiki.

Some configuration files (example) have variable (eg. MOPIDY_SPOTIFY_USERNAME) with values that should be data the user provides (eg. username). Currently the value is set to none with the description stating the value. I found that confusing.

Suggestion for all username, password, and token fields: change values to (in this example) username and use the description to clarify that you should add your username, not the word username.

Soundcloud plugin is not actually shipped

The settings are properly updated, but Mopidy-SoundCloud is not installed, thus Soundcloud does not work yet.

Add Wiki with proper user manual / documentation

right now the README has the bare minimum info - it would be really nice to have a detailed guide that covers:

assembly
installation
configuration
general explanation of how it works

Could you give a brief description of use cases and difference between both?

I'm looking for a way to cast webradios from RadioDroid ie webradio listed on https://www.radio-browser.info/

RadioDroid can use MPD (Music Player Daemon) but maybe some other solutions are possible.
