Version 1.8 has basic support for LIRC. I'm not sure if LIRC is
supported in the current version of piCorePlayer though (If I remember
correctly Ralphy asked Steen to add LIRC support to piCorePlayer). This
is a list of commands supported and is copied from the squeezelite ir.c
source file:
Code:
--------------------
cmdmap[] = {
{ "voldown", 0x768900ff },
{ "volup", 0x7689807f },
{ "rew", 0x7689c03f },
{ "fwd", 0x7689a05f },
{ "pause", 0x768920df },
{ "play", 0x768910ef },
{ "power", 0x768940bf },
{ "muting", 0x7689c43b },
{ "power_on", 0x76898f70 },
{ "power_off",0x76898778 },
{ NULL, 0 },
};
--------------------
A basic IR sensor like the TSOP38238 only needs three connections,
supply voltage, ground and a signal out so this should work with a
HifiBerry DAC+ as it only needs one unpopulated GPIO pin. User
jesperlykke on this forum had success with a LIRC based solution but
this a from January last year. See
_this_link (\"http://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php?topic=16493.0\";)_
for more info.
With a touch screen and JiveLite this becomes a lot easier as you can
connect a FLIRC adapter. This emulates a remote controlled keyboard and
provides a way to control JiveLite with a SB3 remote which is exactly
what I use to control my system.
