IR Receiver & Remote support

[XploD]

@hondagx35: thanks! It was problem in my case as well, now my remote is finally working I also got a new IR receiver and now it works much better than before on Raspbian, when I was using a receiver from an old DVD player.

@phuongdk and @mishgun: sorry for waiting, I had some work to do and I still didn't managed to fix a few bugs with my code but I'll try to write it as it is tomorrow and provide it to you so once I fix that bugs then I'll update the code.

LIRC problems again! Now I'm using RPi 2 and I can't enable LIRC. The problems are even worse than on RPi 1. Anybody managed to make it work on RPi 2?

EDIT: I managed to fix it, seems that you have to uncomment a few lines in /boot/config.txt and to put there on which GPIO pin is LIRC.

Hi,
I'm trying to install an usb IR remote but I have some issues to install lirc. I think the source of my problems is that I don't know anything about (Arch)Linux, like the structure of the files (etc/, bin/...), so I'm stuck at some steps. Does someone know a book to learn how this system works (or linux in general if they are similar) ? a chapter about the GPIO would also be welcome for another project around runeaudio and this remote.
Thank you !
Yann

I followed my quest but I'm afraid to reach a dead-end
Apparently this remote works as a keyboard & mouse and the command "showkey" confirmed this. I didn't find online a way to "transform" the receiver as a basic IR receiver (to be used with any remote).

Would anyone have a suggestion for an USB IR receiver ?

Unused buttons will work just fine... Is it the same DAC that Rikardo posted, here (?):



If it is, then there will be un-used pins sticking up from the dac board. You only need to find one unused pin for the data connection to a 3-pin IR sensor, the 3.3V supply, and a ground pin.

(I had to solder a small header to my HiFiBerry DAC board, you don't have to do that)
