# Hardware setup instructions
|
|
|
|
This readme contains insructions for plugging in the system and turning it on. Full software setup documentation is in the broadcaster-software.md and listener-software.md files.
|
|
|
|
Make sure to do the following steps in the order they are listed:
|
|
|
|
## Requirements
|
|
|
|
- Modem and internet plan (no static IP required - uses Dynamic DNS).
|
|
- Provisioned [broadcaster](broadcaster.md) with Dynamic DNS configured
|
|
- Provisioned [listener](listener.md)
|
|
|
|
## Steps
|
|
|
|
### Turn on broadcaster
|
|
|
|
1. Plug the usb mic cable into a microphone
|
|
2. Plug the usb mic cable into the top right (blue colored) usb port on the broadcaster (raspberry pi 4b)
|
|
3. Plug the ethernet cable into the broadcaster and the router
|
|
4. Plug the power into the broadcaster (this is how you turn it on)
|
|
|
|
### Networking (Simplified with Dynamic DNS)
|
|
|
|
### Networking
|
|
|
|
6. Log into the router.
|
|
7. Find the ip address of the broadcaster (hostname portal) - usually in the advanced > network > dhcp.
|
|
8. No port forwarding needed - icecast runs directly on port 80.
|
|
9. The broadcaster will automatically update blackportaldetroit.com with the current public IP address via Dynamic DNS.
|
|
|
|
### Turn on listener
|
|
|
|
1. Turn on the listener (raspberry pi zero). plug it into a monitor and keyboard. when it boots, type sudo raspi-config. navigate to system settings and change the wifi settings so it can access the internet.
|
|
2. The listener is pre-configured to stream from http://blackportaldetroit.com/portal.m3u - no manual configuration needed.
|
|
3. Type sudo systemctl restart listener
|
|
4. mic check
|
|
|
|
### Important notes
|
|
|
|
* The microphone must always be plugged into the broadcaster before the broadcaster is on
|
|
* The broadcaster must always be on when the listener is turned on. if it is not, then the listener needs to be restarted once the broadcaster is on.
|
|
* Dynamic DNS automatically keeps blackportaldetroit.com pointed to your current IP address
|
|
* No router port forwarding required - icecast runs directly on port 80
