Irdroid – Rpi infrared transceiver for Raspberry Pi

Irdroid-Rpi infrared transceiver for Raspberry Pi

 

LIRC is a package that allows you to decode and send infra-red signals of many commonly used remote controls.

http://www.lirc.org

1.  Install:

sudo apt-get install lirc

2.  Setting:

In example I use Irdroid – Rpi infrared transceiver for Raspberry Pi 

from http://www.irdroid.com/irdroid-rpi-infrared-transceiver

 

Add this to your /etc/modules file:

sudo nano /etc/modules

lirc_dev
lirc_rpi gpio_in_pin=18 gpio_out_pin=17

My file:

# /etc/modules: kernel modules to load at boot time.
#
# This file contains the names of kernel modules that should be loaded
# at boot time, one per line. Lines beginning with "#" are ignored.
# Parameters can be specified after the module name.

snd-bcm2835
i2c-bcm2708
i2c-dev
w1-gpio
w1-therm
lirc_dev
lirc_rpi gpio_in_pin=18 gpio_out_pin=17

3. Change your /etc/lirc/hardware.conf file to:

########################################################
# /etc/lirc/hardware.conf
#
# Arguments which will be used when launching lircd
LIRCD_ARGS="--uinput"

# Don't start lircmd even if there seems to be a good config file
# START_LIRCMD=false

# Don't start irexec, even if a good config file seems to exist.
# START_IREXEC=false

# Try to load appropriate kernel modules
LOAD_MODULES=true

# Run "lircd --driver=help" for a list of supported drivers.
DRIVER="devinput"
# usually /dev/lirc0 is the correct setting for systems using udev
DEVICE="/dev/lirc0"
MODULES="lirc_rpi"

# Default configuration files for your hardware if any
LIRCD_CONF=""
LIRCMD_CONF=""
########################################################

 

4. Start using:

5. Read RAW remote codes:

sudo lircd -d /dev/lirc0

mode2 -d /dev/lirc0

6 . Press any button your remote
