It says on the Kickstarter page that the DAC chip is Burr Brown PCM1794A flagship DACs in monaural mode.
It also says on the Kickstarter page that the ApplePi has a driver built in that Raspbian automatically detects. Maybe that's what I2C is for.

Yes I know that I2S is supported since some time now. Didn't know about that kernel issue though. What I wanted to know is if it's possible to use a Raspberry Pi hat with the Omega2+. One would think so. Just connect the correct pins? Or is a driver needed too?

I bought this DAC Hat on Kickstarter https://orchardaudio.com/applepi

So I will make a music player. I never wanted a Raspberry Pi, but I have Omega2+. So it hit me - could it be possible to drive
this Raspberry Pi Hat with the Omega2+? Is it possible to make an interface from Omega2+ to the DAC?

So when will a newer firmware be released?

@Douglas-Kryder - I don't have connection problem. I have an Omega2+ that doesn't stop blinking after boot is complete. It's a known flaw in the first Omega2+'s.

When I saw the recent de-bricking guides in the 2-bullet Tuesday e-mails I was inspired to return to my bricked Omega2+.
This time I managed to de-brick it. Updated to latest firmware, but the amber led still blinks all the time after boot. So there's still no solution to that?

Yes I saw about the max 2m range, but for some things I don't need more than that.

They posted some instructables as example of what can be made:

A cool IGG project : https://igg.me/at/tinylidar/x/4042493

I think I'll back it and try one with Omega 2+ and Arduino Dock 2.

Thanks for the howto!

Very cool! So I'm planning to order some SK6812 for a small project. But it would be first time for me building and installing a kernel driver on Omega2. Could you make a small howto guide?
