SongMatrix

Overview

SongMatrix uses a Raspberry Pi with a microphone to listen to the background music every few minutes. It then uses shazamio to identify the song and sends a MQTT message to the Adafruit IO MQTT broker. The message is received on an Adafruit MatrixPortal and displays the artist and song title.

Checklist

In addition to a little Python knowledge, you will need:

• Raspberry Pi single board computer (Any will do, I'm using an older Raspberry Pi 2 without issue)
• USB Microphone (Adafruit)
• Adafruit MatrixPortal (Should work on either the newer S3 or older M4)
• Adafruit 32x64 RGB Matrix panel (I'm using a 2.5 pitch panel)
• Adafruit IO account

Demo

Installation

1. With your Raspberry Pi, clone the repo
2. In the python directory, create a config.py file with two fields:

• aio_username = "yourAdafruitIOusername"
• aio+key = "YourAPIKey"

3. Run python record-identify.py which starts an unending while loop. (systemd service coming soon)
4. In the circuitpython directory copy songmatrix.py to your MatrixPortal as code.py
5. Make sure your MatrixPortal's settings.toml includes your WiFi information and Adafruit IO credentials
