DIY Streamer with HiFiBerry DAC2 HD and 11.9" Display

Yes

Have you install the Touch-Display plugin?

Yes

Hi mchief,

This is an amazing set up, and exactly the sort of thing I was looking for. I have been using Raspberry Pi 4 with Volumio and Khadas Tone Board DAC. I was hoping if it’d be possible for you to share a more comprehensive list / link of all the components you used to create something similar including the design file for the front panel?

Also, have you also played with Peppymeter yet? wonder what your setup would look like with those VU meters :smiley:

I would love to put together something similar and appreciate your help.

Thanks,
Ahsan

Is there enough power for the RPi and the Screen?
Or do you get the green lightning bolt in the corner of the screen?

What a beauty! :heart_eyes: :ok_hand:

Thank you so much for getting back and let me go through the list and files and get onto it!

By the way, did you also had to provide design for the back panel and had it cut or did you do it yourself.

I was going to ask you about infrared, but saw your comment on the other forum :slight_smile:

Hi. Did you set something in Now-Playing or is it the default? And that button just puts it to sleep?

@mchief Did you drill the hole for the display yourself? Looks almost perfect.

I wonder whether I should also make the display flush on my project, with the risk that it will fail due to the slightly rounded corners, or whether I should not make the display flush and place it behind the front panel and, if necessary, scrape off the front panel from the inside so that the plate where the display sits is about 2mm and then apply a slightly thicker protective film to make it flush again.

Default :blush:

Hello mchief,
how thick is the front panel?
The transition edge to the display looks very narrow.

3mm

he inserted the display flush and built a bracket behind it. You can see it quite well in the first pictures. He seems to have created the holder himself with a 3D printer.

I think I will do it the same way or try to do without the front panel completely and use the screen as a front panel. For that I would probably have to bend a case out of aluminium myself. Let’s see, I haven’t got that far yet.

I saw the holders on the back. the transition from the front panel to the display looks very thin for a 3mm front panel.
Yes, I also like a front with only a display. The rose B150, for example, has this. with a size of about 12.3 or 12.6 inches, it will be a pretty big case.
I am also in the process of developing such a system for myself.

Hi, can you help me with dimension of face plate and the 4 holes in the corners, including the distance to the limits of faceplate.
Thank you

See post #41

Did you order a new faceplate or used the one delivered with the case?
