Recently i finished my media player project, based on the HiFi Berry Digi +.
The system runs Openelec / Kodi. For the power up / safe shutdown I used the RemotePi Board for PI 3.

Elegant!
Hi Harno your setup looks exceptional. Can you advise where you got the case from and also a component list of your hardware (lcd screen, power supply etc)
Hello Farhad,
Thanks for your comment.
The case I have used is a Streacom F1CWS Evo, ordered from an online computer store. The hole for the display is made with a jigsaw and finished with a 20x4 LCD bezel (ordered at Conrad).
Display: HD44780 20x4 LCD display module blue backlight,
I2C LCD interface for a 20x4 display (ordered from an online computer store).
Power supply: Sunpower SPS G015-05, (5V/DC 3A) (ordered at Conrad).
For power on/off and remote control i used the RemotePi Board for Pi 3 (MSL Digital Solutions)
cy® HDMI 1.4 kabel HDMI cable for aerial photography (0,2m) (ordered at MiniInTheBox)
HDMI 1.4 feedthrough adapter, Neutrik NA HDMI-W-B (ordered at Conrad)
Netfilter: Yunpen YB03A1-B Netfilter 250 V/AC 3 A (ordered at Conrad)
And also some small parts.
Let me know if there are questions,
With kind regards,
Harno Arts
A small modification: more space between the Raspberry and the HiFiBerry Digi+ for better heat dissipation from the CPU.
The temperature sometimes rises to 80 degrees Celsius when I sent large files over the network via the raspberry to a hard disk. With the modification the temperature remains at about 10 degrees lower.
When playing a HD-movie, the temperature is about 52 degrees Celsius (room temperature approximately 23).
Hi there!
First of all let me congratulate you for your setup!
Here' s a probably stupid question since I'm new to that kind of stuff.
Let' s say that I would like to create a similar build like yours but also use a shield like that (http://www.pi2design.com/store/p1/502SSD_-_mSATA_Solid_State_Drive_Shield.html) so as to have an internal storage unit and instead of the LCD interface you have used I would like to use a bigger touchscreen. Do you think that a project like that will be possible?
Kind regards,
P.
This shield is practically an USB memory stick. The performance is limited by the USB 2.0 interface of the Raspberry Pi. It does not use the GPIOs for the data communication (as the GPIOs do not provide any real high-speed data interfaces). So the simpler option would be just using an USB memory stick or a USB hard drive.
Best regards
Daniel
Hi Harno,
What a nice set up. I think you use de lcd screen en the hdmi. How dow you switch between the two screen or can you use them at the same time.
Best regards, GJ
Desi Arno,
It is a very nice device.
I'm trying to realize a similar Project by Rpi2/hifiberrydigi+/LCD hd44780+pcf8574at but I'm not able to get a feedback from the LCD. I'm using osmc but I can move to Openelec.
Did you modify the gpio addresses?
Do you have a tutorial for your project that you can share?
Thanks a lot and have a nice weekend
Regards, Massimo
Dear Harno;
sorry but my mobile automatic correction changed the words...

Hello Massimo,
I have my HD44780 display connected to the LCM1602 IIC I2C module. It now needs only two GPIO pins,SDA (GPIO 2) and SCL (GPIO 3). With this configuration, it was not necessary to modify an GPIO address.
To get the display working I used this description:
http://raspberry-at-home.com/lcd-for-raspberry-pi-hd44780-via-pcf8574-i2c-openelec/
Hope this information clarifies some things, I personally have made no tutorial.
Regards, Harno
Hello Gert-Jan,
The HDMI goes to the TV, the display is connected to an I2C interface that communicates through 2 PGIO pins (SDA and SCL).
The display operates separately from the HDMI port.
Regards, Harno
Hello Harno;
thank you for your feedback.
My screen is soldered on a PCF8574AT from Phillips that seems to be the same of the LCM 1602 IIC
What seems very strange to me is that when I look for the LCD i2c address I found 0x3F instead 0x20, 0x38 and so on.
It is very hard for me to understand on the GPIO2 (pin 3) there is some strange conflict between Hifiberry and LCD, because both devices use it
Regards
Massimo
