C0 with Volumio 2

dondorito · January 18, 2017, 5:07pm

Hi there,

I am currently running Volumio 2.03 on my C1+ and I have to say it sounds even better than 1.55…so thanks to the whole team!

I want to make an C0 version running Volumio 2 next.
I need to know what kind of wlan dingle I need to allow the hotspot operation.

Here is a link to the stick I use with my C1+ and I can’t see a hotspot, when I start up with my router turned off…
amazon.de/gp/aw/d/B006Q3500 … 4758483364

chip used is RTL 8188.

should this Dongle work? or do I need a different?
Is there a compatible Nano sized dual band wlan dongle?

Any help is highly appreciated
Cheers

Edit: sorry for noobing…found the right topic

chsims1 · January 19, 2017, 10:16am

I think that the RTL8188 chipset should work ok. Is the hotspot turned on in the Volumio UI?

dondorito · January 19, 2017, 2:55pm

thanks for the awnser!
I don’t get this working plug and play…
made a Screenshot of my network settings in Volumio, maybe this helps.

so my understanding is, that I turn off my Odroid, unplug my wlan router and power up the Odroid again the hotspot should be created, or do I need to change some settings in the Network first?

one more thing that doesn’t seem to work on Odroid with version 2.03 is the hardware mixer.
I can’t select it from the list, there is only software and none.
will this be fixed in further release?
Cheers

Which DAC are you using?

dondorito · January 20, 2017, 11:50am

I use a Chord Mojo.
Since the upcoming Poly module for Mojo will have this feature I hoped it would work.

one more thing to add the hardware mixer was visible in 1.55 with Mojo, but did not work.

Cheers

gkkpch · January 20, 2017, 4:26pm

you would need to do an ‘lsusb -v’ to show the capabilities of the DAC, I need to verifiy but believe volumio uses that info.

dondorito · January 20, 2017, 6:30pm

Thanks for the reply I will try to do this.
I was abled to choose hardware mixer after all and it is named Mojo automatically, but doesn’t work.

ähm can I use this command right after locking in to putty? no sudo , nothing else?
Cheers

gkkpch · January 21, 2017, 9:54pm

difficult to answer that lacking a Mojo, try and see what happens…

ok here it is.
edit: I hope this is the right info, and sorry if I added useless code, didn’t want to leave out anything important

I have the C0 running now, and the battery is loading.

I will have to expand the SD to store files. I thing I can use guides from different Volumio versions. and will try it later.

I have a few questions concerning the battery.

Is it possible to get the battery capacity displayed in Volumio?

If I connect another battery to the Rtc port, as backup, will Volumio be automatically shut off
when I accidentally flip the switch?

Cheers

gkkpch · January 25, 2017, 7:12am

Hi,
do not expand the SD manually, the 3rd Partition has already been re-sized to the max. size of the SD on first boot.
In case you store files, put them in folder in /mnt/INTERNAL.

– Gé –

dondorito · January 25, 2017, 12:16pm

Sorry I am a little lost here…
Do I have to mount a new network storage to get access to mnt/INTERNAL ?

Tried that, and it didn’t work.
Or do I have to activate the partition over windows commands?

Cheers

chsims1 · January 25, 2017, 1:30pm

I don’t know how you would access it directly (or even if you can) on the SD card on your PC. However, the ‘INTERNAL’ folder on Volumio is a Samba share called ‘Internal Storage’, which you can access from your PC over the network.

dondorito · January 25, 2017, 1:35pm

thx chsims1

I guess I better use the c1+ then, connected to LAN.
how would I access this samba drive, exactly?

chsims1 · January 25, 2017, 1:49pm

That depends on the OS you are using on your PC. I use Linux so I would simply mount the share with something like:

'mount -t cifs //192.168.x.x/Internal Storage' /mnt/temp

Note, the apostrophes/single quotes to deal with the space in the share name.

With Windows you can just mount it as a network drive I would think in file explorer.

dondorito · January 25, 2017, 2:09pm

thx again,
I’m on Windows 10
will do some searches, to find out how to acess
mnt/INTERNAL from PC using samba, when it doesn’t work via file Explorer

Cheers

dondorito · January 25, 2017, 2:53pm

I see the Volumio in network under file Explorer I set up a home network and allowed access to music files.

How do I get the files from Pc To Volumio internal?

Sorry I am a little confused.

dondorito · January 25, 2017, 3:20pm

Hey, my head is spinningbabbit…

is samba already active in Volumio 2.03 on odroid? or do I have to activate it manually.

Can I just use a command in putty?
how would this command be when I want to load music from local files to mnt/INTERNAL?

I know I am annoying…

chsims1 · January 25, 2017, 3:38pm

Copy the music files to the Windows clipboard, open the Volumio folder shown under Network in File Explorer, and then open the appropriate subfolder (Internal Storage???). Paste the files, and you are done.
