For using a Logitech Harmony remote see here) This file tells the OS how to understand the keys on your remote and it is different for every IR remote model. If you order our remote we supply the nf file, so you do not need to create it by yourself. You will need a bit of skill to create your own nf file, if you use your existing remote and want to control the media center with it (if you use your remote only to power the RPi on and off then this is not necessary.An existing infrared remote control (or order one from our site).You can as well solder power cables for +5V and GND directly to the pads provided on the PCB of the RemotePi Board. We strongly recommend the original Raspberry Pi power supplies. An existing good quality RPi power supply with the standard micro USB plug for the RemotePi Board for Pi 3B and Pi 3B+, and a power supply with a USB-C connector for the RemotePi Board for Pi 4.
There are some modifications necessary though as the RemotePi Board does not physically fit on top of the Odroid, you can find the full instructions in the Odroid forum here.
The RemotePi Board was designed for the Raspberry Pi, but it has been successfully made to work with the Odroid C2 as well. For the RemotePi Board for Pi 4 : A Raspberry Pi 4 Model B.įor details on which RemotePi Board works with which Raspberry Pi please refer to the RemotePi Board Compatibility Matrix page. For the RemotePi Board for Pi 3 and Pi 3 B+ : A Raspberry Pi 3.Model B or Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+. New with firmware 2.0 : The RemotePi Board is customizable ! If you do not like the brightness of the power-on LED, change it ! Set a power-on timer, if you want to automatically power on your Raspberry Pi after a predefined time ! There are many more options to customize your RemotePi Board, see the configuration tool page for details. Protect your investment, the firmware of the RemotePi Board is user-upgradable ! New features and improvements can be added by upgrading to the newest firmware. Raspberry Pi does not have to be modified in any way. Piggybacks on the Raspberry Pi, no loose cables (for the variants with internal IR receiver and LED). Very easy to install, fully assembled, no soldering required. If you have this set up, you can replace the IR receiver with the RemotePi Board and re-use your configuration without changes. 100% compatible with the simple GPIO IR receiver. Regular rebooting of the RPi to clear memory leaks and do automatic updates. Clean safe RPi OS shutdowns, this avoids sd card corruption. No wearing out of the RPI micro USB socket due to constant plug in / unplug. The RemotePi board reduces the standby current to less than 10 mA needed for the microcontroller and the infrared receiver. Power saving ! Although the RPi does not draw a lot of power it is always desirable to switch off devices when they are not in use, especially when it is not used every day. Make your media center setup more user-friendly for technically less advanced members of your family. The RemotePi Board Compatibility Matrix page has some more information about which version of the RemotePi Board works with which Raspberry Pi Model. You can as well purchase acrylic cases specifically designed for the RemotePi Boards on this site. The board piggybacks on top of the Raspberry Pi and should fit into most cases (after some case modifications). Please consider using the external IR and LED variant of the RemotePi Board for Pi 4 instead, more information can be found on the RemotePi Board Compatibility Matrix page. Please note that RemotePi Board for Pi 3 and Pi 3 B+ is only available as variant with integrated IR receiver and LED .The variant with external IR receiver and LED has been discontinued. RemotePi Board for Pi 3 B and B+ perfectly fits on the Raspberry Pi 3 Model B and Pi 3 Model B+ :. In this case, you only need to make sure the extended IR receiver and LED are visible for the users. The variant with the external IR receiver and LED connected by a cable is useful, if you would like to use a non-transparent case or you would like to mount the Raspberry Pi and RemotePi Board out of line of sight. The variant with the integrated IR receiver and LED is recommended for most users as it is easiest to install and use. The RemotePi Board for Pi 4 is available as variants with integrated IR receiver and LED or external IR receiver and LED connected by a cable.
