#RelayAttenuator

Relay Attenuator application software is designed for Allo Relay Attenutor. It works with LIRC library to provide IR control to the Attenuator board.
A client program (r_attenuc) is available to integrate with Player GUIs.

Volume control:

In Relay-Attenuator, volume is controlled through relays by means of switches, remote controller and client program. Volume up/down and 
Mute controls can be directed to relays directly or through the player. Play/Pause control is routed to player.

a) Switches:
       The relay board can be connected with external push-button switches for Mute, Play/Pause, Volume up and Volume down functions.

b) IR Remote controller:
	Any remote can be configured to working with Attenuator software.

c) client Program:
       r_attenuc - set/get Volume levels and mute status.
	
	 $ sudo r_attenuc -c GET_VOLUME    // To get current volume level

	 $ sudo r_attenuc -c SET_VOLUME=x  // To get set volume; x = 0 to 63 

	 $ sudo r_attenuc -c GET_MUTE  // To get current mute status

	 $ sudo r_attenuc -c SET_MUTE = x  // To set mute/unmute ; x = 0 to unmute or x = 1 to mute

Requiments:

Attenuator software requires  WiringPi & LIRC libraries.

WiringPi(On RPi):

$ cd /usr/local/
$ git clone git://git.drogon.net/wiringPi
$ cd wiringPi
$ git pull origin
$ ./build

LIRC:

$ cd /usr/local/
$ git clone https://github.com/FernetMenta/lirc.git

Download:

$ cd /usr/local/lirc/daemons/
$ git clone https://github.com/allocom/RelayAttenuator.git
Files will be downloaded at daemons/RelayAttenuator

 After download, follow below commands:

$ cd /usr/local/lirc

Add "daemons/RelayAttenuator/Makefile" under "AC_CONFIG_FILES" in the file ./configure.ac
Add "daemons/RelayAttenuator" under SUBDIRS in the file ./Makefile.am

$ sudo ./autogen.sh
$ sudo ./configure --with-syslog --with-driver=userspace
$ sudo make
$ sudo make install

Config files hardware.conf, lircd.conf & lircrc are available in git.

lircd.conf is generated for Allo remote.

lircrc is configured for squeezelite, can be changed for other players.

$ cp hardware.conf lircd.conf  lircrc /etc/lirc/

Execution:

Make sure lircd is running & just execute the server program
