I've used the Pi both personally and commercially. Remember, engineering is the art of compromise. The Pi is good enough for really surprisingly wide variety of tasks, and that in itself is impressive. If you've exceeded adequate then perhaps that time/money was best spent raising some part of the design from inadequate to adequate. "adequate" is not a bad word it's a good one. It's adequately small, adequately cheap, adequately fast, adequately versatile, adequately (who am I kidding, very) easy to source, adequately easy to power, adequately easy to build into things, adequately easy to use standalone, adequately robust, adequately long supply lifetime, and importantly adequately good tooling, adequately good support. The Pi is not a specular design from a deep cunningness of engineering point of view, but they put the work in where it was needed. Now devkits for random chips tout arduino compatible pinouts.

It's gone from a niche thing with expensive, unreliable tooling, obscure parts, weird supply chains and poor availability to what we have now. The Pi and Arduino together have completely revolutionised embedded development. The 2nd rated design team just continues to disappoint.Īnd yet they've been wildly, ridiculously popular despite plenty of other apparent equivalents being available. dev/input/by-id/usb-flirc.The whole design of the RPi is a bad joke. Only on the console it will work as keyboard device. Note that if you work via remote access to your Pi it will not see FLIRC (or any local keyboard/mouse!) as input device, only your remote keyboard. Pressing the IR key delivers a 'a' on the screen.

Flirc wont conn ect to software full#
Full keyboard config, I recorded a key on my IR remote and assigned it to keyboard 'a'Ģ. I just performed a simple experiment with my FLIRC:ġ.

So I think the raspberry pi do not recognize the USB, but I do not know what I have to install or configure on the PI itself to recognize the USB as input device? I have tried the same program on my laptop with the FLIRC USB and then it works fine. I only have a laptop so there is no possibility to connect a screen (I think that that is the problem with kodi from raspbian).

I tried to install kodi to see if the remote is working there, but I am not able to run kodi from the RPI over ssh/vnc. The part about the device tree I do not understand, sorry.īut I have installed lirc (not configured), but as you say that will not help to get the FLIRC keys in my python script? I did not install something for FLIRC or something else on the raspberry pi. I tried to configure the buttons and I tried to configre some buttons as key-board keys. I tried to configure the FLIRC on my laptop with the FLIRC software.
