[GreenKeys] ITTY with Raspberry P

[Paul Heller]

I set up a headless raspberry PI (no display or keyboard). The biggest problem (and it is a real pain) is that you can’t just pull the plug on a raspberry PI. You are supposed to shut it down gracefully. I wrote a python program and wired up a push button and LED to give status, to enable changing between ITTY and AUTOSTART and to also initiate the shutdown. My program has some kind of bug because it does not always work correctly. 

That said I know someone who is using a PI and due to the nature of his environment has to pull the plug every day, and things are still working for him.

Basically, here is what I did to get ITTY playing:
Set up Music Player Daemon
sudp apt-get install mpd mpc
mpc add http://internet-tty.net:8000/ITTY
mpc volume 100
mpc play
mpc stop


Edit /etc/mpd.conf and add 2 lines:
audio_buffer_size  “4096"
buffer_before_play    “50%
