Chapter 4: Infrared Remote

This is inevitably one of those projects that you don’t need justification for undertaking. This one is enjoyable simply because it’s, well, fun. Here’s the lowdown: there’s a new add-on for the Raspberry Pi that can actually send and receive infrared signals. So this is actually pretty sick. This means that with this add-on, once we set it up, we can actually use turn on a huge number of devices from our host computer (or any number of things, really).

You could make a custom remote with only relevant buttons to you, or if you - like me - usually watch TV with a laptop in your lap anyway, you could write a custom program which would actually allow you to select which infrared device you wanted to communicate with and send commands directly to it without bothering to keep up with any number of remotes. And in today’s day and age, there are a lot of remotes.
