________________________

reveil-pi

mono / stereo USB or ethernet

streams at 44100 Hz 16 bit 256 kbps ogg 

target: Locus Sonus server

default stream: mono 

default name: reveil_test.ogg


disk includes:

// IP address output to a text file on the Desktop.

// Stream output from Darkice to a text file in Desktop/stream_settings (reverts to blank every 24 hours and copies the log to a dated file in stream_logs ).

// Cumulative log of each day in Desktop/stream_settings /stream_logs.

// Darkice runs at startup.

// Darkice restarts on crash.

// Pi reboots after Darkice crashes 5 times consecutively [optional: default = OFF; reset in 'DarkiceRebootAfterFailedTries' in stream_settings/soundcamp_scripts.

// Pi reboots every 24 hours at midnight (using Crontab).

// Every 60sec Pi tests for an internet connection (using Crontab) and resets the connection if down (WiFi or ethernet).

// Connects automatically to a WiFi network with NetworkName and NetworkPassword defined in the file 'wifi_settings.txt' in /Boot on the SD Card (easiest to set with a computer before inserting SD card in the Pi. Alternatively, if connected directly with a keyboard, or over ethernet, in the Terminal type:
'sudo nano /boot/wifi_settings.txt'.  Insert your network name and password, keeping the quotes. Then:  Control X and Y and Enter to Save and Exit. Then: 'sudo reboot' to restart the Pi.

// If Pi is occasionally unresponsive when running 'sudo reboot' or 'sudo halt', then run the command again. The Pi will then reboot or halt, although it may appear to hang with no outuptut. You can then proceed, if necessary by closing the current  and opening a new Terminal window.
