WM8960 Hi-Fi HAT

As the official repo does not work anymore (drivers are not developed anymore for the new kernel) we recommend to use the following drivers: https://github.com/respeaker/seeed-voicecard.

see original thread in the forum

Hardware Pinout:

• User Manual: https://www.waveshare.com/wiki/WM8960_Audio_HAT
• Install Driver / Test Sound (working) with this Manual: https://www.waveshare.com/w/upload/5/54/WM8960_Audio_HAT_User_Manual_EN.pdf
• On the installation of RPi-Jukebox-RFID, use AUDIOiFace="Master".
• To use GPIO buttons you may use a flexible pinout. However you must not apply the classic pinout. Thus adapt ./settings/gpio_settings.ini so that you don't interfere with the pins of the WM8960-Audio-HAT GPIO 2,3,18-21.

Install:

Clone the driver and install it with commands:

git clone https://github.com/waveshare/WM8960-Audio-HAT

cd WM8960-Audio-HAT

sudo ./install.sh

sudo reboot

Test Sound:

speaker-test -c2

set gpio17

echo "17" > /sys/class/gpio/export

echo "in" > /sys/class/gpio/gpio17/direction

read gpio status

cat /sys/class/gpio/gpio17/value

"1" when not pressed "0" when pressed

release gpio17 (to avoid error: Device or resource busy) echo 17 > /sys/class/gpio/unexport
