Also the larger capacity allows you to multipurpose the Pi as a small file share, but that is beyond the scope of the Instructable, but something to consider after you complete the remote. I would just get a 16GB or 32GB because seems like 4GB and 8GB are hard to come by now and tend to cost more. You will need a minimum size of 4GB micro SD according to the Raspberry Pi foundation documentation. 3D printer (not necessary but you can print up a case).Helping hands or some sort of hobby vise.Hot glue gun and hot glue (or super glue).4-40 3/8" countersunk screws (if using the case I modeled).IR Receiver Module (3.3V type) - TSOP38238.: Changed R3 power rating from 1/2W to 1/4W as suggested by B MW. : Added power supply and USB cable to BOM as suggested by jrullo. Corrected default Raspbian password as pointed out by MattH324. : Corrected GPIO references as pointed out by Paul Hickey. This Instructable entails a bit of hardware and software but is well worth it in the end not having to hunt down a controller and just control everything from your computer or phone's browser. If the device has an IR receiver, you can control it with this universal remote. So if I want the controller, I have to hunt down 3 people and hope one of them remembers that they took the remote.Īnother bonus to building the remote to control the TV, cable box, and dvd player, I realized that I can control our living room tower fan since it too has an IR remote control. Also, my kids would misplace the controller from time to time. My mother-in-law's remote for her cable box broke and I don't know why she doesn't just go get the free replacement so she grabs the one in our living room and sometimes doesn't return it. I needed one because the remote in my house tends to go missing a lot. Build a universal remote control with web interface using a Raspberry Pi, LIRC, and just a few components.
