Raspberry Pi Forums

Hey guys,
I was reading this tutorial on adafruit about connecting an IR sensor to your raspberry pi b+ with female to female jumper wires and then configuring that to respond to remote actions to for example navigate through raspbmc(xbmc for raspberry pi).

I was wondering if this tutorial will work for the raspberry pi b+ as the tutorial was made for the B and i remember hearing something about certain cords that worked on the B not fitting on the GPIO or not having enough space to plug them in on the GIPO of the B+, for example the end of the cord being too bulky or big to fit on.
Will this tutorial work for the raspberry pi b+? I really would like to know before i go out and purchase all these things because if something happened, like the wires can't connect, i would have wasted a lot of money.

Here is the link to the page where the tutorial is: https://learn.adafruit.com/using-an-ir- ... r?view=all

Thank you for reading. Hope to hear from you guys soon.

Kind Regards,
Mak

That tutorial WILL work on an A, B, A+ or B+

Ah ok thank you, are you sure all the cords will fit on the GPIO of the B+?
Thanks in advance.

yes they are the same
the b+ has more that is all

I'm sure he is sure.

You have misunderstood what you have read elsewhere.

This project only requires 3 connections to pins on the 'gpio' header. Those pins are the same size and in the same locations on all 4 current models of RPi board.

The original models A and B have 26 pins on that header: the A+ and B+ have 40. A 40-pin connector will never fit a 26-pin header. Some, but not all, 26-pin connectors are too wide to allow connection to a 40-pin header.

But those restraints are not relevant to the project you have linked to.
