hope someone can help!
ive set up the encoder as per instructions https://www.max2play.com/en/2016/12/rotary-encoder-ist-now-compatible-with-justboom-sound-cards/ and solderd the encoder to gpio pins 16 and 18 on the amp but the encoder doesnt work, in the Rotary Encoder Start Options it has this in the box „-c hw:0 -m Digital –gpiorot=23,24 –vol=60“ the player works but the encoder doesnt, so Ive changed the entry to „-c hw:0 -m Digital –gpiorot=16,18 –vol=60“ as those are the pins used on the amp zero but I get no sound at all. its driving me mad, can anyone help?

thanks

Pete

Hi Pete,

You need to use the BCM notation so it is GPIO 23,24 which are pins 16,18

I’ll try to replicate your installation as soon as I can, maybe someone from M2P can shed some light in the meantime?

So we have setup a JustBoom DAC with a rotary encoder on GPIO 23,24.
Followed the steps in our guide till the end of section 2 to configure the OS.

How To Configure JustBoom With Max2Play

and the extra steps from M2P
https://www.max2play.com/en/2016/12/rotary-encoder-ist-now-compatible-with-justboom-sound-cards/

and all works fine for us.

If you have a keyboard/mouse and a monitor or can access via SSH, you could run the alsamixer to verify that indeed the volume slider works with the rotary encoder.

I hope this helps.
