What is it?

Universal Remote Controller for Raspberry Pi is an expansion board that can operate Raspberry Pie as an advanced infrared learning remote control. Ten switches are mounted on the board, and the operation of the infrared remote control can be recorded in the board memory for each switch. Combined with other raspberry pie and illuminance sensor, it can be programmed for multiple advanced actions such as "turn on the light at regular time", "turn on the TV", "change the channel to the morning news" * It is recommended to connect 3A or more power supply for operation.

Why did you make it?

Want to control every home electronics with raspberry pie.

What makes it special?

A wide transmission range covering a half hemisphere!

By supporting nine infrared light emitting diodes radially, the transmission range is supported on the semi celestial sphere, With the Raspberry Pie GPIO, you can send learned infrared remote control signal over a wide range.

With large capacity buffer, it supports long infrared data recording!

The general home electronics cooperation format is about 6 bytes, and the storage buffer of this product has a large capacity of 300 bytes, and it is possible to record 50 times the length of home electronics cooperation format.

Send from infrared LED

The switch is connected in parallel to the Raspberry Pie GPIO, it is possible to output infrared signals by GPIO operation from Raspberry Pie.
