Keeping the Pi4 cool all times

how many feet is it in total more then 10ft with the 6ft extention?
so if you add up all the lenght + the 6ft how many feet is it in total?

Where my player will sitting by the radio, so the power supply 4ft long so apparently i need a 6ft extender or extension whatever the difference are in the two extender/ extension.

be aware that 10ft or more could not work…

they say this…
We suggest a total length less than 10ft for both your usb c cable and extension cable to achieve best charging and video performance so you will get stuck with a power drop …and your pi will bootloop then

Ok, an error i made.
I have a 5ft not 4ft power supply for the Raspberry pi. And where my Smartipi with Volumio going on it site, I would need at least 6ft to add to my 5ft power supply enable to get the right length. type-c male/female extension cable. do u know of good type c extension cable m/f. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07KK9QXPM/ref=twister_B086KQ75DR?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 do u know of better.

you can’t have it you will get a power drop so it would be useless, take a longer powercord…

Well i looked for salutations to extend this cord 3.5A Raspberry Pi 4 Power Supply (USB-C) but haven’t found it yet

and if you could get it, it won’t work… skip it …

On the hifiberry pro https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B017L7K4BE/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
where the GPIOs are located what are the sets of hole my the gpio for

it looks like a place for other GPIO header

You got a Volumio player with display right

yups the
7inch : https://www.elektor.nl/official-7-touchscreen-for-raspberry-pi

pi4 4gig ,
dac: on of these https://audioquest.nl/dragonfly-series/ got all

Yeah, the only problem now that i have is to get a remote to work Volumio player.
And yes, i went over and install the IR Remote configuration and went to setting to install a remote plugin that is provided in the configuration. The first two remotes are (Apple remote A1156 and Apple remote A1294 or maybe A1295.
I got both remotes from Amazon.com. I tried both remote plugins. I install the plugin and i also rebooted the Player but still the remote won’t work.
I got the solution on powering the Pi on/off but just need to get a remote to work the Volumio player.

@leigh_telles
you forget that the on / off is not all it handles it’s a full remote it handles… The RemotePi Board is a full controle board…

The RemotePi Board enables you to navigate the the user interface of LibreELEC, OpenELEC, OSMC, RasPlex, XBian, etc using standard LIRC or the newer GPIO IR driver. Select videos or music, start and pause playback, etc. all intuitively with your remote. Significantly increase the WAF (Wife Acceptance Factor) by not having to use those inconvenient smartphone apps or CEC anymore.


if this works oke please say… because i can’t test it for you

there is still a other one to test :

Try re downloading the IR controller plug-in. I believe I tagged you over on the other thread @dvo also mentions above. You should just be able to select the Apple Remote A1156 Alternative from the dropdown menu and hopefully it works for you…

ash i know that you did …didn’t know yet that you already included it … i don’t know
what version he has… in what image is that included? or does he pull it from some where?

It’s already included in plugin ir_contrioller version 1.2.5.

So if you go to Plugins>Accessories and update the ir_controller to 1.2.5, the new configuration should be there. No need to change any images… :slight_smile:

I am new to this, but I got a Flirc case for my Raspberry Pi 4B - it has an aluminum section that makes contact with the CPU and cools it passively.

LIRC is a standaard for Linux remote controle and not a case in this case but i could be in a case… Niel
L inux I nfrared R emote C ontrol

Here is the Flirc case for the Raspberry Pi 4:

sorry, niel we don’t need this info i know that box it’s nothing that he could use
he got 3 boards that could not fit in the flirc box that’s a pi only case…
