# PiThing
An unofficial Raspberry Pi companion app for Spotify inspired by the Car Thing and the [DeskThing](https://github.com/ItsRiprod/DeskThing)
/!\ Only works for Spotify premium users
## Setup
If you want to run the app on your Raspberry Pi you need to follow the instructions on the [flutter-pi repository](https://github.com/ardera/flutter-pi) ortherwise you can run it on Windows/Linux/Macos with a regular Flutter.
To build the app for Raspberry Pi 3 :
```sh
flutterpi_tool build --release --cpu=pi3 --dart-define-from-file=.env
```
Then to transfer it :
```sh
rsync -avzh --progress --stats ./build/flutter_assets/ pi@raspberrypi:/home/pi/pi_thing
```
Finally to run it on the Raspberry Pi :
```sh
flutter-pi --release /home/pi/pi_thing
```
## Spotify configuration
To get the clientId and clientSecret you need to create an app on the [Spotify Developer Dashboard](https://developer.spotify.com/dashboard/applications) and check `Web API`.
The redirect url must be set to `http://{deviceIp}:8888/callback`
Once you have clientId and clientSecret, add them to the `.env`
## Hardware
The PiThing app is developped using this :
- Raspberry Pi 3B Rev 1.2
- 7-inch touchscreen display with a resolution of 1024 × 600 ([docs](https://www.waveshare.com/wiki/7inch_HDMI_LCD_(C)))
