RPI as a slave contoller

Thu Jul 21, 2016 11:53 pm

I have done a basic IR receiver with pin 17 and 18 for a Kodi emby build and working up the driver to control the devices via IP so IR isn't needed. I would like to solder wire several wires to tr or trs plugs and run 1/8in Ir control over the tr and an ir blaster over the trs connections on 5v giving the juice. I can use the usbs for serial control and add other serial protocols to over other pins. I will also add relays to this project. It has to be embedded so if it shuts down it automatically loads the os. No fluff or GUI is needed. All the IR commands and serial commands are already stored in the master controller. I would like the rasp to get an ip addy and then by porting the raspberry send the IR or serial data to it and have it report the command was executed. What is the easiest way to accomplish this? Since the master device already has all the IR and serial data how hard would it be to make a webserver to take http commands and have my master programmer set up for when a button is pushed an IR port now sends the command from the master controller? This project is constantly changing with new and hardware and things being able to keep all the commands on one spot rather then dumping all of them into the new device constantly is great
