Help with IR control/conversion

I have just ordered a Raspberry Pi 3 B+ and Energenie ENER314-IR Infra Red Controller PCB. Hopefully will arrive Wednesday. I'm planning to use this as a home automation controller and IR converter for my home media system with LIRC. Can anyone ...

Re: gpiozero on Model B with energenie pi-mote

Perhaps edit that file to use GPIO 21 instead of 27, as that is what the early Pis had on that pin.

Re: gpiozero on Model B with energenie pi-mote

... Interesting discovery. Many Classes in gpiozero provide arguments to allow the specification of the pins to be used, with appropriate defaults. Energenie() doesn't - presumably because as an add-on the pinout is thought to be fixed. Seems perhaps the authors overlooked the difference in pinout ...

Pin layout is basically the same (though the Pi 4 uses some for extra serial ports if enabled).
