Hi Gmeader,
Thanks.

I won't go this direction as I don't think the buttons are practical on stage, but I'm available for helping to integrate this as an available option.
So I made some observations after first (quick) investigation that may be helpful.

For the audio the /boot/config.txt needs:
Code:
dtoverlay=hifiberry-dac
gpio=25=op,dh
dtparam=audio=off

The display needs a driver:
Code:
pip install st7789
and perhaps some dependencies, see git docs (only install required, some are already present in some way..).
A specific module needs to be written (the OLED.py can serve as an example) and attached into the samplerbox.py and configuration.txt.

From pimoroni forum:
Quote:The buttons on Pirate Audio are connected to pins 5, 6, 16 and 20, corresponding to buttons A, B, X and Y respectively.
This makes it possible to use the samplerbox builtin menu.
