BUT! There’s no need to detach the tiny ribbon at the very top. We then have to unscrew the touchscreen’s control board from the back of the screen in order to fit it through the cut-out hole of the first Pimoroni layer. The first layer requires the Raspberry Pi 4 to be completely removed from the assembly. The Pimoroni frame piles up in three layers. Stateside folk should try their luck on. I bought it from for €15 but UK folk can also get it here.

You’ll also need an open-backed frame (case) like this one from Pimoroni ( Pibow?). This brings us back to basics so if you’re starting from scratch with this Pi Touchscreen project, know that you’ll need 1) a Raspberry Pi 4 and 2) the official Raspberry Pi Touchscreen (and no other touchscreen). …and then carefully removing the Pi + Touchscreen from its shell: We start by popping the back panel on the Digitalrise case… While we’re at it, we’ll change up the case for an open-backed varietal to leave room for the addition of DAC and S/PDIF HATs used by many Pi-Fi enthusiasts.
#Qobuz streamer hardware how to
In this article, we will see how to add ‘now playing’ touchscreen possibilities to Spotify (Connect), Tidal and Qobuz, all by way of Volumio OS running on a Raspberry Pi. Later, we saw how an upgrade to RoPieee XL added Spotify Connect functionality but visually-speaking left Roon’s ‘now playing’ screen as a placeholder: We effectively built a Roon (‘Bridge’) streamer with a 7″ touchscreen for €200. In the first installment of this Touchscreen Pi series, we hooked a Raspberry Pi into the back of the official Raspberry Pi 7″ Touchscreen display, dropped the two-fer into a Digitalrise standing case and ran a RoPieee operating system for a touch-enabled ‘now playing’ screen.
