Du suchst eine günstige aber sehr komfortable und zuverlässige Möglichkeit Kodi auf deinem Raspberry Pi zu steuern? In diesem Artikel zeige ich dir wie du einen Highend IR-Empfänger an deinem Pi installierst, mit dem du jede IR Fernbedienung nutzen kannst um Kodi (Openelec) zu steuern.
Du steuerst jede Taste deiner Fernbedienung
Mich hat es früher extrem gestört, dass es immer Tasten auf Fernbedienungen gibt, die man einfach nicht umprogrammieren kann und sie somit oft keine Funktion haben. Mit diesem selbst gebastelten IR-Empfänger ist aber wirklich alles möglich! Jede Taste macht das, was du ihr „sagst“.
In diesem Artikel habe ich bereits eine Möglichkeit gezeigt wie du mit dem „FLIRC USB Empfänger“ deine Fernbedienung nutzen kannst. Jedoch ist dieser Empfänger ziemlich teuer (20-30€).
Dieser Selbstbau Empfänger steht dem „FLIRC USB Empfänger“ in nichts nach und hat sogar den Vorteil dass kein USB Port eingenommen wird da wir dafür die GPIO Pins nutzen.
Ich konnte sogar feststellen dass die Reaktion der Fernbedienung dadurch schneller geworden ist und Tastendrücke genauer übertragen werden.
Was hält uns also noch ab? Legen wir los!! 🙂
Was wird benötigt?
Folgende Bauteile habe ich für dieses Projekt verwendet:
| Bauteil | Empfehlung |
|---|---|
| IR-Empfänger TSOP4838 | ca. 3,20 € |
| Jumper-Kabel | 1,43 € |
| Xbox One Fernbedienung | 18,99 € |
| [Optional] Schrumpfschläuche | 5,70 € |
| [Optional] Kabelummantelung 2mm (Sleeve) | ca. 5,50 € |
Der TSOP4838 IR-Receiver empfängt Signale sehr genau. Er benötigt keinen Sichtkontakt und kann darum auch hinter dem Fernseher verschwinden. Zudem hat er eine hohe Störsicherheit und ist Tageslichtunempfindlich. Ideal für uns! 🙂
Wer noch eine ideale Fernbedienung sucht, dem empfehle ich die Xbox One Media Remote. Ich liebe diese Fernbedienung!! Sie ist einfach perfekt für Multimediabedienung ausgelegt und hochwertig verarbeitet. Zudem noch handlich und mit beleuchteten Tasten die nur dann leuchten, wenn die Fernbedienung bewegt wird. Praktisch wenn man sie Nachts auf der Decke verloren hat und sich dann nur bewegen muss um sie, dank der beleuchteten Tasten, wiederzufinden. 🙂
Die Schrumpfschläuche und Kabelsleeves dienen nur der Optik und haben keinen weiteren Nutzen. Wertet die Bastelei aber ungemein auf!!
Falls du Schrumpfschläuche noch nicht kennst, es handelt sich dabei um dünne Plastikschläuche die sich bei hitze zusammenziehen. Zum Beispiel wenn du ein Feuerzeug kurz drunter hälst. Damit lassen sich Kabel super einfach isolieren und die Kabelsleeves sehr gut abschließen. 🙂
IR-Empfänger am Raspberry Pi 2 installieren
Folgendermaßen muss der IR-Empfänger an den GPIO Pins vom Raspberry angeschlossen werden.
Ich habe bei mir die Kabel (reine Optik) gesleevt und ein Loch ins Gehäuse gebohrt damit die Kabel einen Weg nach draußen haben.
Zu guter Letzt habe ich den IR-Empfänger mit doppelseitigem Power Montageband am Gehäusedeckel befestigt. Es bleibt natürlich jedem selbst überlassen wo der Empfänger platziert wird. Man kann ihn z.B. mit einem langen Kabel auch direkt unter dem Fernseher befestigen um einen perfekten Empfang zu gewährleisten. Wie bereits erwähnt, ist das aber bei diesem starken Empfänger gar nicht notwendig da er auch hinter dem Fernseher alle Signale sauber empfängt.
Hier noch mein zweiter Raspberry den ich damit bestückt habe. In Verbindung mit dem Stormtrooper Design sieht das doch richtig geil aus wie ich finde. 😀
Den Stormtrooper habe ich mir selber mit einem Plotter aus einer Folie geschnitten. 🙂
Wer ebenfalls so eine Folie haben möchte kann mich gerne über das Kontaktformular anschreiben. Gegen eine kleine Spende für den Blog mache ich dir gerne diese Folie fertig.
Das war es auch schon zur Installation.
Hier noch ein Foto wie ich meinen Raspberry hinten am Fernseher mit Klettband befestigt habe. Der Empfang ist perfekt! 🙂
Hier geht es weiter mit Teil 2:
This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like ‚Mixview‘ that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you’re listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of „neighbors“ will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune „Social“ is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.
Hands down, Apple’s app store wins by a mile. It’s a huge selection of all sorts of apps vs a rather sad selection of a handful for Zune. Microsoft has plans, especially in the realm of games, but I’m not sure I’d want to bet on the future if this aspect is important to you. The iPod is a much better choice in that case.

Zune and iPod: Most people compare the Zune to the Touch, but after seeing how slim and surprisingly small and light it is, I consider it to be a rather unique hybrid that combines qualities of both the Touch and the Nano. It’s very colorful and lovely OLED screen is slightly smaller than the touch screen, but the player itself feels quite a bit smaller and lighter. It weighs about 2/3 as much, and is noticeably smaller in width and height, while being just a hair thicker.
I’ll gear this review to 2 types of people: current Zune owners who are considering an upgrade, and people trying to decide between a Zune and an iPod. (There are other players worth considering out there, like the Sony Walkman X, but I hope this gives you enough info to make an informed decision of the Zune vs players other than the iPod line as well.)

Apple now has Rhapsody as an app, which is a great start, but it is currently hampered by the inability to store locally on your iPod, and has a dismal 64kbps bit rate. If this changes, then it will somewhat negate this advantage for the Zune, but the 10 songs per month will still be a big plus in Zune Pass‘ favor.

If you’re still on the fence: grab your favorite earphones, head down to a Best Buy and ask to plug them into a Zune then an iPod and see which one sounds better to you, and which interface makes you smile more. Then you’ll know which is right for you.
