rpi-infrared-scanner

Allows you to scan codes sent by infrared remotes.

Usage

Before building the application, make sure to change the following code (In line 12)

const pinNum uint8 = 4

The application uses the BCM layout of the pins.

Build

Execute following command to cross-compile the code to a binary which is understandable by the Raspberry-Pi.

make build

After the application's binary has been built, transfer it to the Raspberry-Pi using a utility like scp.

Usage

After the binary has been transferred to the Raspberry-Pi, run it by using following command:

./scanner

Going further

Of course a scanner alone is not useful, instead the code can be modified to represent some sort of listener which can trigger events on the raspberry pi when a certain code is recognized.
