Multiple individually addressable IR outputs from LIRC?

Instead of using a single IR emitter as a blaster, I'd like to use individual stick-on emitters - and I'd like to be able to address them individually so that if I'm sending the TV a command, I only send it to the emitter that's stuck on the TV. Does anyone know if this is possible? And if so, how t...

Connect directly to Pi to setup WiFi connection

I want to setup the Pi like a commercial set top box (e.g. Roku) so that when it first boots up, I can connect to it (using a phone or tablet) as an access point so I can then select the appropriate router from a list of SSIDs then enter the Wi-Fi password and (on submitting the form), have it test ...

USB spacing issues with Flirc or Edimax 7811?

I'm about to buy a Pi 2 along with a Flirc universal remote receiver and Edimax EW-7811UTC wi-fi adapter. Both of these devices have some extra width to them and the Flirc has some extra height as well. I'm wondering if either of these will prevent me from using one of the adjacent USB ports. If any...

Re: Pi-based CarPC using iPhone for control?

I just ran a little test where my iPhone was connected to my home router and I connected my iPad (wifi only) to my iPhone as a personal hotspot.It seems to work so I guess I answered my own question!

Re: Pi-based CarPC using iPhone for control?

Thank you, jwatte! Just what I was looking for! Do you happen to know - if I connect to this from my iPhone (let's say this is wlan0) in order to be able to control Kodi (or Volumio), can I still use another wifi adapter (i.e. as wlan1) to connect to my iPhone as a mobile hotspot for internet access?

Re: Pi-based CarPC using iPhone for control?

Very familiar with XBMC. I've had an HTPC for several years. But controlling Kodi from an iPhone app requires both the Pi and the iPhone to be connected to the same LAN, so this doesn't really address any of my original questions/issues.

Pi-based CarPC using iPhone for control?

I have a couple of old Model Bs sitting around and would like to use one as a car PC. There's lots and lots of stuff on the 'net about RPi CarPCs using a touchscreen interface, but it's not practical for me to replace the factory head unit. I want to stick the Pi in the glove box and connect it to t...
