so your button Y is not working (so far), and it isn’t pin 20 (and not 5,6,16)
Your hat: pirate audio amp 3W
Please try the following:
BUTTONS = [5, 6, 16, 20] to BUTTONS = [5, 6, 16, 18]
gpio=20=pu to gpio=18=pu
python test_gpio.py in commandlineAxLED
My hat: Pirate Audio 3w
Changed button 20 to 18.
output
volumio@ohc-speaker:~$ python test_gpio.py
buttons.py - Detect which button has been pressed
This example should demonstrate how to:
1. set up RPi.GPIO to read buttons,
2. determine which button has been pressed
Press Ctrl+C to exit!
Button press detected on pin: 5 label: A
Button press detected on pin: 6 label: B
Button press detected on pin: 16 label: X
initalisiere Shutdown
Button press detected on pin: 6 label: B
Button press detected on pin: 6 label: B
Button press detected on pin: 16 label: X
initalisiere Shutdown
Button press detected on pin: 5 label: A
The difference this time is that after the X button is pressed, I’m able to continue to press other buttons. still no Y button tho…
Oh!
success!!
Changed button 18/20 to 24
Button press detected on pin: 5 label: A
Button press detected on pin: 6 label: B
Button press detected on pin: 16 label: X
initalisiere Shutdown
Button press detected on pin: 24 label: Y
Button press detected on pin: 24 label: Y
so, it is back to the link I posted that mentions the Y button is on GPIO 24 but I didn’t understand how to assign the button… I’ll play around some more.
thanks for your response, so your Y button is 24.
Your hat: pirate audio amp 3W
Please try the following:
/data/plugins/miscellanea/pirateaudio
BUTTONS = [5, 6, 16, 20] to BUTTONS = [5, 6, 16, 24]
if pin == 20: to if pin == 24:
gpio=20=pu to gpio=24=pu
AxLED
100% success!
change line 80 in display.py from BUTTONS = [5, 6, 16, 20] to BUTTONS = [5, 6, 16, 24]
change line 436 in display.py from if pin == 20: to if pin == 24:
change line 458 in display.py from for x in [5, 6, 16, 20]: to for x in [5, 6, 16, 24]:
I had already changed line 80 in testing but didn’t venture that far down in display.py
Thank you @AxLED for your support. much appreciated.
In my attempts to free up some GPIO pins by wiring the Pimoroni to the pi rather than plugging it into the pi socket I used this diagram from the web (although I can’t remember where I found it)
However, after much fiddling, I found that my board also needs pin 17 (3.3v) to work. Hope this saves someone some time!
Hey @AxLED thanks for your great work. Does your plugin also works with the pirateaudio headphone Amp?
yes the plugin should work on pirate audio headphone amp as well.
According to https://pinout.xyz/pinout/pirate_audio_headphone_amp# there are two versions, which use different GPIO for Y Button. So the worst thing could happen, that Y Button is not working (so far).
But here are the good news, i am working on a update for the plugin, where you can choose the GPIO Pin for Y Button via volumio GUI.

Hey @AxLED,
thanks for the fast reply. I set up a new volumio with the pirate headphone dac and installed your plugin. Works great! 
Thanks for your work
Only problem I have found, is that Button Y isn’t working as you mentioned. I have tested the GPIOs with your test_gpio.py and it seems that my hat also uses gpio 24, like the one from @spinkman.
Unfortunately the steps you mention above:
/data/plugins/miscellanea/pirateaudio
BUTTONS = [5, 6, 16, 20] to BUTTONS = [5, 6, 16, 24]
if pin == 20: to if pin == 24:
gpio=20=pu to gpio=24=pu
doesn’t work for me. I have double checked the lines, but Button Y still doesn’t work after a reboot. Have you any suggestions how i can fix the problem?
did test_gpio.py show 24 for your Y button ?
If yes, try to deactived and activate pirateaudio plugin via GUI (no reboot).
Is there any other hardware attached to the GPIOs?
Which plugins are installed?
Can you attach the following files:
So i can have a look at it.
AxLED
Did you get the one on line 458?
@spinkman Aaah thanks! I have missed that line. Thanks a lot.
@AxLED so now the buttons are working well.
I just have the spotify plugin installed. When I use the buttons to navigate to a song in spotify, I can’t play it. So the A button seems to not work here. Is this a known bug oder does this suppose to be working?
Yes, spinkman is right,
in addition to the modifications you did, you have to:
for x in [5, 6, 16, 20]: to for x in [5, 6, 16, 24]:
AxLED
as i dont use spotify i couldnt test it.
But i changed the play function in my release anyway. If someone can send me some sample outputs from spotify i could implement this.
Give me some days for the update.
AxLED
@AxLED
Thanks for the info. Since I mainly use Spotify, I’ll take a look at Mopidy. Maybe that is better suited for my project. And I’m switching from volumio to Mopidy. But thanks a lot for your efforts.
Hi,
i released a new version v 0.0.3 and moved conversation to a new thread under plugin section of this forum: https://community.volumio.com/t/plugin-pirate-audio/44336
@spinkman now you can configure your GPIO Pin of Y Button via GUI.
AxLED
Hi AxLED,
Thanks for your efforts, works great !
Hi Everyone,
Thanks for building this plugin, its great to get the pirate audio up and running on volumio.
I managed to get everything installed and working - however, the volume is very low, much lower than when i had the original software running on the pirate audio. Is there something im missed with the mixer - i have it set to hifiberry dac and software mixer. I need to set it to the high 70s to get any kind of decent volume out…
any help would be really appreciated.
Thanks,
Mark
