Fitting the MT32 Pi Zero HAT and configuring the software

Image
This post will provide the information you need for setting up my Pi Zero HAT for MT32-Pi. Note that to run MT32-Pi, a Pi Zero 2W is required . The HAT will work with a regular Pi (3 or above) but obviously the form factor is designed to go with the Zero.  Four long screws and nuts are provided, with standoffs and washers. The standoff isn't quite long enough and so the washer goes alongside it between the boards to give the extra mm of hight.  Don't push the HAT all the way home, that'll help with the fiddly job of fitting the washer and standoff.  With the nuts fitted finger-tight, you may like to trim off the extra length. If I didn't supply an SD card containing the software, then you can find that here: https://github.com/dwhinham/mt32-pi See Dale's instructions for creating your SD card here: https://github.com/dwhinham/mt32-pi?tab=readme-ov-file#-quick-start-guide You'll need to do some configuration of the file mt32-pi.cfg This is very easy, just open it
