This code is meant to accompany this project in which a Spotify client is built into an iPod "Classic" from 2004. Everything is meant to run on a Raspberry Pi Zero W.
Since we are using the lite version of raspbian, some extra packages need to be installed:
Installing SpotifyPod (The code is modified for Ricardo's Alternate Build)
You need raspberry pi lite os legacy version We will also be using raspotify version 0.14 which we will be installing later
IMPORTANT This code works 2inch LCD Module ST7789V controller 240 x 320 Pixels For more hardware instructions please follow Ricardo's Alternate Build)

Create a Spotify Developer Account, then create an app where you will get your Client ID, Client Secret, and create a Redirect URI
https://developer.spotify.com/dashboard/applications/
sudo raspi-config
Display Option > Screen Blanking > OFF / Disable
sudo nano ~/.bash_profile
'#!/bin/bash'
[[ -z $DISPLAY && $XDG_VTNR -eq 1 ]] && startx -- -nocursor
# Disable any form of screen saver / screen blanking / power management
xset s off
xset s noblank
export SPOTIPY_CLIENT_ID='your_SPOTIPY_CLIENT_ID'
export SPOTIPY_CLIENT_SECRET='your_SPOTIPY_CLIENT_SECRET'
export SPOTIPY_REDIRECT_URI='http://localhost:8080'
export DISPLAY=:0.0
sudo nano /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc

# invoke global X session script
#. /etc/X11/Xsession'
exec openbox-session #-> This is the one that launches Openbox ;)`
sudo nano /etc/xdg/openbox/autostart
#cd /home/pi/retro-ipod-spotify-client/frontend/

#sudo /home/pi/retro-ipod-spotify-client/clickwheel/click &
Please comment this out until I remind you to uncomment it, save the file and exit, then we are now going to make the the program that makes the clickwheel work an executable
cd /home/pi/retro-ipod-spotify-client/clickwheel
nano click.c
change #define DATA_PIN 25 to #define DATA_PIN 5
gcc -Wall -pthread -o click click.c -lpigpio -lrt
when were running "gcc -Wall -pthread -o click click.c -lpigpio -lrt" just leave it alone till you see a blinking text box
sudo chmod +x click
sudo nano /etc/xdg/openbox/environment

export SPOTIPY_REDIRECT_URI='http://localhost:8080'
Synchronizing Spotify data! Last but not least, if you want to make sure all your playlists artists, etc are synchronized every time you turn on your Spotypod, you can simply modify the script view_model.py
sudo nano view_model.py
#spotify_manager.refresh_devices()
spotify_manager.refresh_data()
sudo nano /etc/default/raspotify
OPTIONS="--username XXXXXXXX --password XXXXXXXXX"
Enter your spotify login details, In the first XXX add your email address, and in the second XXX add your password
OPTIONS="--username [email protected] --password thisismypassword"
# The displayed device type in Spotify clients.
# Can be "unknown", "computer", "tablet", "smartphone", "speaker", "tv",
# "avr" (Audio/Video Receiver), "stb" (Set-Top Box), and "audiodongle".
DEVICE_TYPE="smartphone"
To obtain your device id you first have to go to https://developer.spotify.com/console/get-users-available-devices/ when you go the the website your ipod may not appear connect to it using the spotify app on the device list then retry the website and it should show up
cd /home/pi/retro-ipod-spotify-client/frontend/
nano spotify_manager.py
Go to line 173 using ctrl+shift+_ and type 173 You can comment out the entire refresh_device def and replace it with
def refresh_devices():
device = UserDevice('xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx','raspotify', True)
DATASTORE.setUserDevice(device)
Replace the XXXXXXX with your device id Ex: def refresh_devices(): device = UserDevice(‘123456789','raspotify', True) DATASTORE.setUserDevice(device) After that you want to go save and exit the file then
cd ~/.local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/spotipy/
nano client.py
Go to line 1734 using ctrl+shift+_ Paste this in:
data = {"device_ids": ["xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"], "play": force_play}
return self._put("me/player", payload=data)
Replace the xxxxxx with your device id
sudo apt install midori
cd ~
git clone https://github.com/perelin/spotipy_oauth_demo
cd ~/spotipy_oauth_demo
sudo apt-get install python-pip python-dev
sudo apt-get install python3-pip python-dev
pip install -r requirements.txt
Before running it modify the client id and secret also your scopes in with:
nano spotipy_oauth_demo.py
SCOPE = "user-follow-read," \
"user-library-read," \
"user-library-modify," \
"user-modify-playback-state," \
"user-read-playback-state," \
"user-read-currently-playing," \
"app-remote-control," \
"playlist-modify," \
"playlist-read-private," \
"playlist-read-collaborative," \
"playlist-modify-public," \
"playlist-modify-private," \
"streaming," \
"user-follow-modify," \
"user-follow-read"
Now you can save and exit the file
sudo raspi-config
system options --> boot / auto login --> console autologin
python spotipy_oauth_demo.py
Recommend using a Pi 4 or anything faster than a zero w, but if this is the only pi you have you should be fine but it will take a while. Your pi should be displaying a black screen then right click and click on browser then go to internet/ browser (midori). Once you did that go to http://localhost:8080/ There should be a spotify sign in page, sign in, once signed in it should redirect you to a page with gibberish code and spotify credits. Once you're on that screen exit the page and in your terminal stop running the program.
cp ~/spotipy_oauth_demo/.spotipyoauthcache ~/retro-ipod-spotify-client/frontend/.cache
chmod 777 ~/retro-ipod-spotify-client/frontend/.cache
Once your done you can turn off vnc If you get ERNO98 already in use go to issue 30
ssh into the pi and edit the config file
sudo nano /boot/config.txt
Add the code below:
hdmi_group=2 hdmi_mode=87 hdmi_cvt=320 240 60 1 0 0 0 hdmi_force_hotplug=1
dtoverlay=vc4-kms-v3d
Then save it, after that download the display code:
sudo apt install cmake git
cd ~
git clone https://github.com/juj/fbcp-ili9341.git
cd fbcp-ili9341
Then we want to change the native resolution to take advantage of the whole display.
nano st7735r.h
Go to line 18 which is ST7789 Change DISPLAY_NATIVE_HEIGHT from 240 to 320 After that save it and then nano into st7735r.cpp
nano st7735r.cpp
Go to line 95 with ctrl+shift+_ Comment out the line beginning with SPI_TRANSFER with // then below it add this:
SPI_TRANSFER(0x37, 0, 0);
Then exit the file then run this command:
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DST7789=ON -DGPIO_TFT_DATA_CONTROL=24 -DGPIO_TFT_RESET_PIN=25 -DSPI_BUS_CLOCK_DIVISOR=30 -DSTATISTICS=0 -DDISPLAY_BREAK_ASPECT_RATIO_WHEN_SCALING=ON -DUSE_DMA_TRANSFERS=OFF ..
Once finished run:
make -j
After that is finished we want to make it run on boot:
sudo nano /etc/rc.local
Enter this before exit:
sudo /home/pi/fbcp-ili9341/build/fbcp-ili9341 &
sudo nano /etc/xdg/openbox/autostart
cd /home/pi/retro-ipod-spotify-client/frontend/
sudo -H -u pi --preserve-env=SPOTIPY_REDIRECT_URI,SPOTIPY_CLIENT_ID,SPOTIPY_CLIENT_SECRET python3 spotifypod.py &
sudo /home/pi/retro-ipod-spotify-client/clickwheel/click &
For bluetooth I these instructions: To install blue-alsa link To set up auto connect link
Please only follow the configuration instructions you already downloaded it in the previous link. link
Reboot and whenever you need to use the pod connect to it from your phone/ computer on the device list as if it were a speaker. It might take a while but it should connect eventually then you're free to exit the app and play songs from the pod.
Trying to recreate the Bluetooth settings (If you want to try and figure it out, I suggest going to #66 near the bottom there should be some links doris put) If you have any issues please feel free to comment them below 😄
Couldn't have done this without doris, they've helped me out so much. https://hackaday.io/project/177034-spot-spotify-in-a-4th-gen-ipod-2004 https://github.com/dupontgu/retro-ipod-spotify-client https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KciKqGX8g94 dupontgu#41 dupontgu#22 dupontgu#34 dupontgu#65 dupontgu#23 dupontgu#66 http://rsflightronics.com/spotifypod https://sigmdel.ca/michel/ha/rpi/bluetooth_n_buster_01_en.html https://github.com/dtcooper/raspotify/wiki/Play-via-Bluetooth-Speaker https://github.com/bablokb/pi-btaudio
Here is the wiring of the hardware, as of revision 1. Note that the pin numbers correlate to those referenced in click.c
