Airpod
======
This is a [balena][balena-io] application you can deploy to your
[Raspberry Pi][raspberry] and turn it to an [AirPlay][airplay] target that
can stream audio to any Hi-Fi setup via the analogue output.
Under the hood, it uses the excellent [shairport-sync][shairport-sync] project.
[balena-io]: https://www.balena.io/
[raspberry]: https://raspberrypi.org/
[airplay]: https://www.apple.com/airplay/
[shairport-sync]: https://github.com/mikebrady/shairport-sync
Requirements
------------
- A Raspberry Pi 2 or 3
- An analogue audio setup such as an amplifier and speakers
- Appropriate analogue Mini-jack to RCA or Phono cable
You can then target this setup and stream audio from any AirPlay-capable
device, version either 1 or 2 (most iOS, tvOS and macOS devices)
Installation
------------
**IMPORTANT**: The Raspberry Pi will send a loud click out its analogue output
when the audio device is started or shut down. That usually means, the first
time an AirPlay client connects and starts streaming and on reboot or shutdown.
Watch out or this can fry your equipment.
Clone this repository locally to your computer:
$ git clone https://github.com/balena-io-playground/airpod.git
Follow the [Getting Started guide][getting-started] to provision your device
and deploy this project with Resin.io.
### Configuration
Use the [Dashboard][dashboard] to configure the app.
On the "Fleet Configuration" page, add a new entry:
- `BALENA_HOST_CONFIG_audio_pwm_mode`: 2
On the "Environment Variables" page, add the following entry:
- `AIRPOD_PASS`: a password that should be provided by clients targeting this
device for playback.
That's it. After a few seconds, the device will advertise itself as an Airplay
target under its name. You can change the device name from the Dashboard.
