Architecture

The project is split into two python code files. code.py and winamp_helpers.py. We know that code.py is the file that CircuitPython will execute automatically for us. It contains the initialization for the display, touch overlay, and SDCard. It also creates the WinampApplication object and reads the input data from the touch overlay to decide what actions should be taken and when.

code.py

There are a handful of configuration variables that can be used to control different aspects of the player.

  • PLAYLIST_FILE - The name of the playlist file that should be played. You can leave the default playlist.json or change it to your own custom playlist file. I like to create multiple playlist files with descriptive names and then rename the one I am in the mood for to playlist.json rather than changing the variable.
  • SKIN_IMAGE - The name of the BMP image file for the skin that you want to use. The default is base_240x320.bmp, see the next page for instructions on using custom skins.
  • SKIN_CONFIG_FILE - The name of the JSON configuration file for the chosen skin. Default is base_config.json.
  • TOUCH_COOLDOWN - Time in seconds to wait before allowing another touch event to be registered. Leave it as the default 0.5 seconds, or lower it if you'd like the app to be able to respond more rapidly to multiple touch events.
  • ORIENTATION - The rotation value for the display. Must be either 90 or 270 which are the two possible portrait orientations. Default is 90.

The following occur in code.py as setup for various things:

Initializing the touch input based on the ORIENTATION setting:

Download File
Copy Code 
if ORIENTATION == 270:
    # setup touch screen
    ts = adafruit_touchscreen.Touchscreen(
        board.TOUCH_YD,
        board.TOUCH_YU,
        board.TOUCH_XR,
        board.TOUCH_XL,
        calibration=((5200, 59000), (5800, 57000)),
        size=(240, 320),
    )
elif ORIENTATION == 90:
    # setup touch screen
    ts = adafruit_touchscreen.Touchscreen(
        board.TOUCH_YU,
        board.TOUCH_YD,
        board.TOUCH_XL,
        board.TOUCH_XR,
        calibration=((5200, 59000), (5800, 57000)),
        size=(240, 320),
    )

Initialize the SDCard so that we can read the song MP3 files from it:

Download File
Copy Code 
spi = busio.SPI(board.SCK, board.MOSI, board.MISO)
sdcard = sdcardio.SDCard(spi, board.SD_CS)
vfs = storage.VfsFat(sdcard)
storage.mount(vfs, "/sd")
sys.path.append("/sd")

Access the built-in display, and set it's orientation based on our ORIENTATION setting.

Download File
Copy Code 
# get reference to the display
display = board.DISPLAY

# set rotation
display.rotation = ORIENTATION

Create a WinampApplication object and show it on the display:

Download File
Copy Code 
# Initialize WinampApplication helper class
winamp_application = WinampApplication(
    playlist_file=PLAYLIST_FILE,
    skin_image=SKIN_IMAGE,
    skin_config_file=SKIN_CONFIG_FILE,
)

# Add the Group to the Display
display.show(winamp_application)

Main loop

Inside the main loop there are two main tasks that occur:

  • Call winamp_application.update() to refresh the UI. This will update the clock display, allow the track title bar to scroll, and update the playlist display based on the current track number. It will open and begin playing the next song when the current one has finished playing.
  • Check for touch events coming from the touch overlay and call the appropriate action functions on the winamp_application object when touches are detected.

The Winamp skin is decoration only, the controls within it are too tiny for us to use on the PyPortal without a very precise stylus and perfectly calibrated touch overlay.

There are 3 invisible buttons that are used to control the application. The entire top half of the screen is the pause/resume button. The bottom half of the screen is split vertically, the left half is the previous track button, and the right half is the next track button.

Helper Classes

There are three helper classes inside of winamp_helpers.py that are used in the project. All of these classes extend displayio.Group so they can be added to other groups and shown on the display.

  • WinampApplication - This is a high level object that manages the player. It initializes the skin graphics, and other displayio widgets used in the UI. It has action functions which get called from the main loop when touch events occur: pause(), resume(), next_track(), and previous_track(). The update() function must be called once per iteration in the main loop to process all visual updates in the UI and advance to the next track when needed. The play_current_track() function is responsible for opening and playing MP3 files.

  • ClockDisplay - This is a displayio widget that contains the labels needed to show the elapsed time during playback near the top left of the UI. Time showing is updated via the seconds property. This custom widget was created because the spacing used for the clock digits in some of the Winamp skins is very specific. A standard Label with the default font would not match the spacing correctly.

  • PlaylistDisplay- Another displayio widget, this one contains the labels used to show the current track and next two track titles in the bottom part of the UI. It also manages which track is considered the current track for us, which is updated via the current_track_number property. current_track_title is a convenience property that will format the current track name into a suitable string to be shown in the ScrollingLabel near the top right of the UI.

Further Detail

The source code is thoroughly commented to explain what the statements are doing. You can read through the code and comments to gain a deeper understanding of how it functions, or modify parts of it to suit your needs.
