I'm just looking for an easy way to use my logitech harmony one with the Raspberry PI / XBMC. I'm just thinking, this Flirc device should work with a Logitech Harmony remote, as it can learn commands from the remote, is that correct? Is this also working with other (cheap) usb infrared receivers.Īnd how easy is this to use and to setup? Can i just use the Flirc with a default out of the box distro for Raspberry PI, or do i need to compile this?

I started with the Play/Pause button because this seemed like an easy one to testĥ) Your remote should indicate that it learned the keyħ) Point the remote at the Keyboard's USB IR receiver attached to Pi and hit the Play/Pause button you just programmedĨ) If everything worked, your video should pause and resume play whenever you hit the buttonĩ) If it didn't work try again and make sure you're the right distance from the keyboard's IR transceiver and you're capturing the IR signal from the keyboard with your remoteġ0) If it did work, here's the rest of the key's I programmed in

Every remote has it's own specific instructions, but here's the general process I did.ġ) Get a video playing in xbmc (to test if the remote works)Ģ) Get your universal remote into 'learning mode'ģ) With the remote facing the IR transceiver of the keyboard (and only a few inches away, check your remote's manual for specific distances), press the button on the remote that you want to program. It's worth the shot! The long and short is that you program the keys of the remote just like you were learning them from another remote, except you use the keyboard instead.

We had a deal, I eat healthy you help me think the smart thoughts! One quick key learning run later and sure enough, my remote learned the IR signals my keyboard was putting out and I can use the one receiver to now control my Pi with my universal remote control (and since it has a JP1 connection, I can actually take that learned signals and make a custom key map off of it). It works by taking the IR signal and rather than trying to do a special configuration for each and every remote, it simply translates it straight to keyboard shortcuts such that you're practically guaranteed compatibility with your programs (after all, all the program sees is a keypress).Īnyways, I realized today that I've been using an wireless IR keyboard with my Pi this whole time.

It's a little IR receiver that you program to use your remote with XBMC or other PC applications based off LIRC. So I've been waiting since the beginning of May to get my FLIRC.
