So, i did that, I shut down the Pi and changed the GPIO to gpio23 and booted up the Pi. I grabbed the JustBoom remote trying the buttons out and nothing. the LED in the sensor lights but nothing happed and when i reconnect to volumio on the laptop my GIPO configuration was gone
It just show the IR remote configuration
and what happens if you click on save now?
and don’t change things in the meantime but just click save.
reason for the missing settings in the plugins is because he took the steps from my instructions, but responded to yours.
if you need the settings back remove this line line from /boot/userconfig.txt
dtoverlay=gpio-ir,gpio_pin=23
then it’s simple, uninstall the infrared plugin, reboot and install the plugin again, select justboom remote (click save) and set gpio 23 and click save.
I did that all, before shutting down the Pi
I went over to IR Configuration and save the profile to JustBoom IR Remote.
Then i went down to GPIO Configuration and select gpio23.
and left the other two steps below along
connected the wire to there locations and booted. The remote still didn’t work. And i’m telling you the whole story
the last thing you can do, then I give up.
Open a terminal shell (putty)
enter the following commands:
ps aux | grep lirc
mode2 -d /dev/lirc0
Do you see a response on the screen, when pushing buttons on your remote? If not the receiver is broken.
like i said before when pressing the remote buttons, the LED on the sensor flickers
you’re really struggling to follow instructions, from people trying to solve your problem. Good luck I give up.
you shouldn’t do it the other way around.
first gpio and then boot the pi and finish configuration.
if gpio 23 does not work, choose a different gpio position, but make sure that the raspberry pi is switched off and after gpio adjustment, start the pi and finish infrared gpio configurarie.
if this doesn’t help unistall the infrared plugin and reboot the pi and install the plugin again, select justboom remote (click save) and set gpio 23 and click save.
@leigh_telles otherwise do this when you get a pulse the infrared receiver is okay and we know the hardware is okay.
The fact that the LED on the infrared flickers does not mean that the infrared also works properly.
I kept on having to reinstall Volumio on the Pi each time i tested out each GPIO pin. But i think i hit something today. i first shut down the pi and place the IR module wire to the gpio on the pi and started it up and went to the GPIO configuration on the volumio and then restart the player. i set it to gpio22
So i kept down the step over and other until i found one. I didn’t know it would work but, since I have Volumio going on the laptop browser to test. I took the remote here in my hand and started pressing buttons.
I started noticing in the browser as i pressed the volume up/down that it was moving up and down as i pressed. i tried each and every button out.
the volume up/down
the two buttons above the volume
mute and power works
It just that some wouldn’t work, like the home/ select/ and the up/down/ left/right buttons won’t work.
ok now it works as it should.
I was amaze when i show that the volume going up and down on the play that i got right now connected to the browser. So, why want the other buttons works, that the one i would need, to play the song, go home and back and forward.
the two at the bottom and the power and mute works.
in other words half works and half don’t work
if you looked closely at the start page it says that only play/pause/mute/volume/next/previous/seek repeat and random works.
so that up and down won’t work or you have to ask in the original remote control post.
So, what would i do now, since half of the buttons won’t work
the intention of the infrared plugin is purely for audio so previous next, pause, volume etcetera is also the only thing you need and this all works fine.
and what I mentioned above if you want to have those up and down, right, left, you have to ask if these extra functions can be included, which means that the developer has to put this extra software / function in it.
Ok, since i can get some buttons working, which i liked seeing what joyful news i was seeing on the buttons.
in the selected remote profile, is there a remote that will work all buttons.
what I already stated. if you looked closely at the start page it says that only play/pause/mute/volume/next/previous/seek repeat and random works.
so that up and down won’t work or you have to ask in the original remote control post.
even if you try 1000 different remote controls the result remains the same or you have to ask the developer of the plugin if he wants to implement extra functions in it.
If you don’t mind I’ll stop now because everything is now working as intended.
Having the Volumio playing, but the play and the next buttons and up/down wont work, what’s the point of having it, if you can’t select and play or skip a song.
I like the player since the IR sensor work, but it’s the great if i can’t control all the functions with a remote.
