LIRC – Linux Infrared Remote Control<\/strong><\/h2>\n

LIRC<\/a> is a mature and stable open source library that provides the ability to send and receive IR commands. LIRC support is now included by default in the latest version of Raspbian OS.<\/p>\n

Wiring the Infra-Red Receiver to the Raspberry Pi<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Vishay TSOP31438 wiring is on the picture.
\nReceiver Pin 1 is DATA, goes to RPi pin 12 (GPIO 18)
\nReceiver Pin 2 is GND, goes to RPI pin 6 (GROUND)
\nRecevier Pin 3 is POWER, goes RPi pin 1 (3.3V)<\/p>\n

\"IR

IR Remote Wiring<\/p><\/div>\n

Connect to the raspberry pi using SSH (I use putty) and type hostname as raspbmc<\/strong> connecting to port 22<\/strong> and then click \u2018Open\u2019<\/em> if you get a security warning click onto \u2018Yes<\/em>\u2019 to except. This will present a shell command on the raspberry pi. Login using the default settings username pi<\/strong> and password raspberry<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

At the command prompt type:<\/p>\n

\r\nirrecord --list-namespace\r\n<\/pre>\n
This will display a list of available names used to record the keystrokes sent from the IR remote control. Compare the names in this list to the buttons on your remote once you have a list of names that correspond with the buttons we are ready to begin mapping. At the command prompt type:<\/p>\n
\r\nsudo \/etc\/init.d\/lirc stop\r\n<\/pre>\n
This stops the lirc service to free up \/dev\/lirc0<\/p>\n
Type the following to start recording of key presses:<\/p>\n
\r\nirrecord \u2013d \/dev\/lirc0 ~\/lircd.conf\r\n<\/pre>\n
\"LIRC
LIRC Config<\/p><\/div>\n
Press Return to start recording of key strokes.<\/p>\n
Type the name of each key stroke followed by the return key.<\/p>\n
\r\nKEY_STOP\r\n<\/pre>\n
Now point the remote press and hold the corresponding button:<\/p>\n
\"Record
Record LIRC<\/p><\/div>\n
Do this for each button in turn. Once you have finished press \u2018Return\u2019 this will save the new configuration file.<\/p>\n
Next we make a copy of the old lircd.conf file:<\/p>\n
\r\nsudo cp lircd.conf lircd-old.conf\r\n<\/pre>\n
Now delete the old lircd.conf file:<\/p>\n
\r\nsudo rm lircd.conf\r\n<\/pre>\n
Make a copy of the lircd.conf.conf file:<\/p>\n
\r\nsudo cp lircd.conf.conf lircd.conf\r\n<\/pre>\n
Now delete the old lircd.conf.conf file:<\/p>\n
\r\nsudo rm lircd.conf.conf\r\n<\/pre>\n
Reboot to apply the new changes:<\/p>\n
\r\nsudo reboot\r\n<\/pre>\n
When the raspberry pi reboots wait for the lirc connection to apply and now your remote should start working.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
