Volumio Installing Guide for ASUS Tinkerboard S

With helps from Volumio community, I am able to put back my TinkerBoard S (TBS) to my stereo system. Yes, the Raspberry Pi 4 will be a back up. It wasn't possible to make the PeppyMeter work on the TBS before. Now I can and couldn't be happier. Here are step by step from beginning. Hope this video helps the TBS owner who wants to hook up a screen and have PeppyMeter. I think Volumio Primo owner can do it as well.
Thanks to these people who make this happened:
2aCD - Peppy_screensaver Plugin
Gelo5 - many more beautiful skins
Wheaten - 1280x400 skins
pdo59 - making Peppy works with TBS
and Volumio community.

This is not a professional tutorial video but I have a passion and believe in Volumio so I just want to share how I did it.
Thanks for watching. I will answer to all the comments.

[@eiosopaolo]

another great job, congratulations.
idea: could you make a video about how to install other peppy screensaver skins for volumio? (and maybe put the link with the names and their downloads). Keep it up ...... bye

ขอบคุณมากๆครับพี่

Hi @Andy Yong, are you still being able to play all meters (including circular ones) on the Tinkerboard (with new versions of peppymeter, since 1.4)?

[@Naimnatnod1]

@paulonunes8586 Yes, currently I have Volumio v3.636 and PeppyMeter 1.5.0 running very smoothly on my TBS.

[@paulonunes8586]

@@Naimnatnod1 Hi, thanks for your info. Mine crashes on circular meters... Might be power issue (more processing -> more power :) ). What power supply are you using (in terms of Amps)?

[@Naimnatnod1]

@@paulonunes8586 If I were you, I would delete the circular meters (the problem one) files and from you meter.txt as well. I don't think the power issue. I just use a generic 5V3A power adapter and have no problem.

[@paulonunes8586]

Humm... I'll try. Can you name one circular one that works for you?@@Naimnatnod1

I play volumio on my Laptop and this is a last version.

Please go to Volumio community @ community.volumio.org/t/project-with-peppymeter-screensaver-plugin-for-volumio-v2-9xx-and-3-0xx-buster/45862/1550
There might be someone who can help. Sorry, I only run Volumio with either RPi4 or TBS.

[@truongho8703]

@@Naimnatnod1 thank you so much

[@dc2geeks]

Awesome screensaver and your effort in making the tutorial video is tremendous much appreciated. I had installed the peppy screensaver it didn't work for v2.916 (for TBS) but no problem for buster v3.235. Do you have any image file of version 2 for TBS for sharing as my Nanosound CD (FULL VERSION) plugin is not supported by buster v3.............yet.
Thanks!!!

[@simonsung4903]

I follow the instructions but it didn’t work for me

[@Naimnatnod1]

Hi Simon, please explain what happened and why you think it didn't work. If you follow the video every step, it should work.
Btw, this video is for Asus TBS not Raspberry Pi.
