Dockerized

This version moved pydPiper into a docker container. This places pydPiper in it's own environment somewhat disconnected from the music distribution it is running in. This should make it more immune to changes in the underlying distribution.

Also added new display support

• HD44780 I2C based displays
• SSD1306 I2C based displays

Created standard screen configurations for supported displays though this is a work in progress.

Added an install script which should make it easier to install and configure pydPiper onto a new system

Fixed Unicode bug in LMS

Accidentally introduced a unicode bug in the last release. This update should fix it.

Added support for HD44780 LCD displays

The HD44780 is now fully supported. This includes the ability to dynamically create new characters as needed. Also included are two sample display configurations for the HD44780.

pages_lcd.py -- for 16x2 displays
pages_lcd_20x4.py -- for 20x4 displays

Minor bug fixes

This version is a minor bug fix and clean-up. It also includes the a new Readme.MD to provide some initial documentation.

Initial testing release

This is an initial testing release of pydPiper, a display system to drive small OLED and LCD displays for use with Raspberry Pi music distributions like Volumio, RuneAudio, Moode, and Max2Play.
