Pimoroni Pirate Audio Headphone Amp for the Raspberry Pi
In this video, I unbox and set up the Pimoroni Pirate Audio Headphone Amp, a compact audio board for the Raspberry Pi featuring a Texas Instruments PCM5100A DAC, a 3.5mm stereo headphone output, and a 240x240 pixel IPS LCD for track information and album art.
The board connects directly to the Raspberry Pi’s 40-pin GPIO header and uses SPI for the display and I²S for audio output. It also includes four physical buttons for playback control, making it an excellent choice for standalone music players.
I walk through:
The unboxing and hardware overview
Connecting it to the Raspberry Pi
Installing and configuring Mopidy for music playback
Testing the web interface and onboard controls
This board is well-suited for network audio streaming, local playback, and DIY media players.
