Installation Steps

Deactivate Buttons

It is possible, that the Display uses the same GPIO like the Shut-Command of the jukebox4kids. In this case, you should edit the file gpio-buttons.py like this

sed -i -e "s:shut = Button(3, hold_time=2):#shut = Button(3, hold_time=2):g" ~/RPi-Jukebox-RFID/scripts/gpio-buttons.py

Service Installation

Please notice: This installer will create the directory oled_phoniebox in the home-Directory of the user. If you try to rename or move this folder, the service stops working. Run the following code with the user pi for the installer:

cd; rm o4p_installer.sh; wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/splitti/oled_phoniebox/master/scripts/install/o4p_installer.sh; chmod +x o4p_installer.sh; ./o4p_installer.sh

Contrast Control

You can add Contrast Control while editing the ~/RPi-Jukebox-RFID/scripts/gpio-buttons.py. You can find an example here: https://github.com/splitti/oled_phoniebox/tree/master/scripts/gpio-buttons Add a Button press and start these commands:

python3 ../oled_phoniebox/scripts/contrast/contrast_up.py python3 ../oled_phoniebox/scripts/contrast/contrast_down.py

Just another Feature

Press Prev- and Next-Button together for two or more seconds, and you get some Information about your WiFi and the installed oled_phoniebox-Version. If you press the buttons again, you can change the Display-Mode.

FAQ

How can i switch between lite or full version?

• Press and hold Next and Prev together for 2 seconds or more. The Information Screens will be displayed. Press and hold Next and Prev again for 2 seconds and the mode will be changed.

How should i update the oled_phoniebox?

• This time, the only way is to run the installer again, because there are different changes in the file-system. git pull does not work here!

Thank you
