Hi Mark,
I’m sorry but I can’t help you with C. With Python, I would try the evdev package to get events in my code and run whatever program I want at each trigger. I’m really sorry

But I’m now confused as I want to trap these Key Events in a C prog and I would normally do this… if ((FileDevice = open(“/dev/input/event0”, O_RDONLY)) < 0) etc. etc. but there is no eventX for the Ir – I assume I'm looking at this in completely the wrong way – could you enlighten me.
Thanks again

Hi neeek,
sorry for the late reply. Your comment is correct, you should check the output voltage from the IR receiver you use (as there are many versions on the market). If the High Voltage output is lower than 3.3V, then you can use it directly to the Raspberry PI GPIO. Otherwise you should use a voltage divider circuit (2 resistors)

I do have one question though.. Is it fine to connect the IR signal out directly to the raspberry pi GPIO pins ?
I know the GPIO pins are supposed to have a max signal input voltage of 3v3, and seeing as the IR module
is being powered off 5v, would that not make the IR signal out coming from the module 5v as well ?

Regards
Nic

Hi Paulo,
Python allows you to execute and read any bash command output with the subprocess library. You can use it to read the ir-keytable outputs

How can I use the remote codes of my remote controller in Python?
Thanks
