Raspberry Pi Audio Visualiser

To play music at home, I use a Raspberry Pi and Shairport-sync to receive an Airplay stream and output via a pair of USB speakers.

I wanted to sample the audio stream, display an audio visualiser on the Display-o-Tron LCD display. Additionally I wanted to display the track info, which can be read from the metadata.

Using a bit of python magic, we can tie it all together...! Watch it all in action:

CGRect CGRectIntegralScaledEx(CGRect rect, CGFloat scale)
{
    return CGRectMake(floorf(rect.origin.x * scale) / scale, floorf(rect.origin.y * scale) / scale, ceilf(rect.size.width * scale) / scale, ceilf(rect.size.height * scale) / scale);
}

CGRect CGRectIntegralScaled(CGRect rect)
{
    return CGRectIntegralScaledEx(rect, [[UIScreen mainScreen] scale]);
}
