LCD Pi Menu for the Raspberry Pi running Volumio, or other distributions using MPD/MPC.
   
 This menu program is for the Adafruit 16x2 LCD+Keypad PiPlate.   
 It adds the ability to change song or station, volume, and display controls,  
 and has a shutdown submenu. 

For a demo of how it works, see: http://youtu.be/bRCHT8GJpAg


Instructions:

1) Buy and build one of the three Adafruit 16x2 LCD+Keypad PiPlates.
 http://www.adafruit.com/products/1109
 http://www.adafruit.com/products/1110
 http://www.adafruit.com/products/1115

2) Install the Adafruit drivers from:
 http://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-16x2-character-lcd-plus-keypad-for-raspberry-pi/usage

3) Make sure that the Adafruit_I2C.py, Adafruit_MCP230xx.py and Adafruit_CharLCDPlate.py 
 python files are in the same directory as menu.py

4) chmod 755 menu.py

5) ./menu.py 

6) Button Layout:
                   (Up)
   (Select) (Back)      (Forward)
                  (Down)
 The Forward and Select buttons are the same in most cases. 
 For shutting down the Pi, you must use the select button.

7) If you want the menu.py to start on reboot, cron works best.  
 sudo crontab -e
 @reboot /full/path/menu.py & > /dev/null 2>&1
