    Default Rpi + Allo Boss

    So time ago I started here a thread about ESS9018. Well I got distracted as Allo Boss DAC came for sale on this site. I have RPi with HiFiBerry DAC Pro+, but having seen very good reviews about Allo I could not resist. Since, I bought it here it is only fair that I present my here on this forum first.

    To begin with I played Boss for a few days/weeks using Rpi PS for RPi and home made linear PS with LM317 for Boss.
    I did not have a nice enclosure for Pi with Boss. Also power supplies scattered around were a bit annoying.

    Later I have decided to put Pi and Boss into an old TV box.

    As an additional exercise/challenge I have decided to add a small LCD screen to display the song information. It is only 2x16 characters screen as a bigger 4x20 does not fit in my enclosure.

    Some pictures follow.

    After some messing with the LCD scripts I finally got it working.

    As you can see I removed Motorola logo from the front panel, but not the standby sign nor the up/down/left/right arrow. They might prove to be useful at some point. It is easy to remove them,, but I would never be able to put them back as nicely as they are now.
