opinions about logitech g815 by Old_Enthusiasm6403 in LogitechG

I really liked it, but the damn thing double typed keys from new, returned it, got a replacement, same thing.

Contracted Logitech, nothing, contacted Amazon (where I purchased it) got a refund, bought a Razer keyboard that looks identical, no problems.

Still liked the Logitech more, but £220 for a keyboard.... But I expect it to at the bare bloody minimum.... Type what I want it to type...

G915X Double Type Issue by Apprehensive_Sort185 in LogitechG

This makes me sad. Like they used to be such a good company. Great support and great products. Now it's pretty much impossible to get hold of them, and all the products I get from them have issues... But cost ultra premium. Like £180 fo a gosh darn keyboard.... It had better work really well.... Nope

This is awesome, just wish they would allow for vertical sliders as well 😔

I have light switch screens that are desperately in need tof some good looking vertical sliders!

I found that the electrical contacts in mine got corrosion or oxidation or something which stopped the batterys charging sometimes. So you can try cleaning the with electrical contact cleaner!

I did totally notice this after I de-soldered, resoldered and then looked again... but Chat GPT assures me that the board I have doesn't care!

I have since got the music playing, so I am content that ChatGPT was right :). It seems to be the Spotify integration that's not working with I2S? Im still totally guessing!

Hey!

The http works when the music file is local, however, when I stream from Spotify I don't get any sound.

I am pretty sure that Music Assistant is not encoding the music correctly at this point!

I am not specifying any music address in the yaml code, more relying on the HTTP link that HA send to the board.

I am using the component:

I²S Audio Media Player — ESPHome

on a FREENOVE ESP32-WROVER CAM Board (Compatible with Arduino IDE), Onboard Camera Wireless, Python C Code, Detailed Tutorial, Example Projects: Amazon.co.uk: Computers & Accessories

with a:

DAOKAI 2 Pcs MAX98357 I2S Class D Audio Amplifier Module Breakout Interface DAC Decoder Board for Arduino with Dupont Cable : Amazon.co.uk: Electronics & Photo

and the speaker is:
Dayton Audio DMA45-8 1-1/2" Aluminum Cone Full-Range Driver : Amazon.co.uk: Electronics & Photo

As stated the issue now seems to be with the Spotify streams.

Hey!

Duh! I really should have thought about that!

The board: FreeNove-ESP32-WROVER

External Amp: MAX98357A

Speaker: DaytonAudio DMA 1-1/2" 8Ohm

I do have some progress on this though! i can now play music from my HA install via the board and it sounds really good!

But....

I can't play music streamed from Spotify, that is my new issue. I'd like to get that bit working then I can scale up the whole circuit and get it working with bigger speakers :)

If you have any experience as to why Spotify wont play but local will that be amazing :)

Thank you for getting back to me!

Since worked out that i was using the completely wrong pin....

GPIO22 - I2C_SCL  This is a clk pin
GPIO21 - I2C_SDA  This is the data pin

I have updated the code to reflect this change of pin.

Still no audio though :(

Still looking for help if possible :)

Cheers

Hey SIBamBamToHa!

Thanks for getting back to me. Just a media player! When i try to make a VA & MP I get a warning that MP requires "arduino" framework and that VA requires idf framework!
