One really simple IR/Remote solution is triggerhappy: https://github.com/wertarbyte/triggerhappy
I am using this on a raspberry PI, but I suspect it should be applicable on the wandboard as well. I have it going with an old keyspan IR remote module. It listens for keys, creates an event, and I cooked up a config file to in turn use CURL to call the Squeezebox web server to control squeezelite. It also would work with a keyboard. -Chris On Tue, Jul 16, 2013 at 1:12 PM, JohnSwenson <johnswenson.5yl...@no-mx.forums.slimdevices.com> wrote: > > mps wrote: >> Hi, >> Dos anyone know I will be able to plug an IR emitter into the new box to >> use with IRBlaster?
