I paused prototype construction some time ago while I finalised the software, see the Software Topic at viewforum.php?f=55. Once I had the Webserver working satisfactorily, I paused all work on this Project to allow some progress on the Tiny-Tvs Project, see viewtopic.php?f=39&t=288. Now that has reached a natural break, I will take this prototype hardware and turn it into a deployable item by adding the final wiring between the electronic devices and the connectors.
As agreed in a recent Telecon with Penri, I will then deliver the system to him ready for Installation and Setting to Work.
This Topic will detail any information needed to complete the Build.

Sitrep:
The wiring is completed and theoretically should be working. I have some work to do to test the complete assembly and get the system ready for deployment:
The wiring is completed and theoretically should be working. I have some work to do to test the complete assembly and get the system ready for deployment:
- Set a static IP address for the Pi 3 which runs the Webserver and the Music Player. (The Bells Player already has a static IP address on the internal 192.168.10.x subnet.)
- Configure the Webserver to run on nginx on startup. (It has previously been run on the flask development server.)
- Check that the audio is appearing at the relevant connectors. The wires have been buzzed out but without a speaker load, the O/P seems to consist only of square waves.
- Check the solenoid outputs for the Quarterjack. Again, The wires have been buzzed out but I want to run the outputs into a couple of suitable loads.
- Autostart all software at boot up.

Re: Build
I'm currently running the system 'buttoned up' while monitoring the CPU Load etc. It's been running since around 11 am and the current stats are looking good:
The main task now is to complete the testing.
I also want to update the documentation before I deliver it for deployment.

Re: Build
I completed Unit assembly and testing this morning and will post the Composite Document to https://wmtprojectsforum.altervista.org ... ls_Players sometime this weekend.

Re: Build
I have just uploaded the Composite Document to https://wmtprojectsforum.altervista.org ... ss_0.1.odt.
This is the first draft of the document, although I have been assembling it for some time. Section 5 includes Circuit and Layout Drawings which should suffice to guide installation at WMT.
When the system is installed and running, I will revise this and raise it to Issue 1.0.
