Add an IR receiver to piCorePlayer
Add an IR receiver and setup a JustBoom IR remote.
- Today nearly every device is fitted with an IR remote, so why not a piCorePlayer?
- If your display has no touch or you do not want to control your device by a smartphone, an IR remote is very helpful.
What we need
- Raspberry Pi
- piCorePlayer 8 with Jivelite installed
- A running display connected to RPi
- An TSOP4838 or similar IR receiver like OS-0038N
- 3 jumper wires, female to bare wire
- Soldering iron, solder, some heat shrink tube
- A JustBoom IR remote
Info
TSOP4838 IR receivers are sold in differing designs!
Build a player with the SmartiPi Touch case
This page shows various recipes for using the official touch display and SmartiPi cases from SmartiCase to make a really great looking player. There are 3 different players shown here and the various options and tradeoffs are discussed along with shopping lists.
My goal is simple, to build a player that I do not have to apologise for.
SmartiPi Touch Pro with RPi3B+ and JustBoom Digi Hat
This player uses the latest model, the SmartiPi Touch Pro. It is easily the best looking and most suitable case to make a great looking player. The layout allows for everything to be hidden and adapted to any combination of hardware.
