IR remote control miZy setup
You can use a standard expansion board (I use it for tests) - and you can also make
use orange_pi_zero_miZy-music_box-mpd-net-SPI-beta_test from https://github.com/hyphop/miZy/releases
ssh root@10.1.1.1
Check the kernel modules needed to operate the IR remote control
lsmod | grep ir
ir_lirc_codec 3685 0
ir_nec_decoder 1556 0
lirc_dev 7846 1 ir_lirc_codec
rc_core 12751 4 ir_nec_decoder,ir_lirc_codec,sunxi_cir
sunxi_cir 1601 0
if they are not loaded then run
ir.setup
if everything is OK then we should see
rc-core
sunxi-cir
lirc_dev
ir-lirc-codec
ir-nec-decoder
First, stop the running IR daemon with ir.daemon kill
ir.test
Input driver version is 1.0.1
Input device ID: bus 0x19 vendor 0x1 product 0x1 version 0x100
Input device name: "sunxi-ir"
Supported events:
Event type 0 (EV_SYN)
Event type 1 (EV_KEY)
Event code 152 (KEY_SCREENLOCK)
Event type 4 (EV_MSC)
Event code 4 (MSC_SCAN)
Key repeat handling:
Repeat type 20 (EV_REP)
Repeat code 0 (REP_DELAY)
Value 500
Repeat code 1 (REP_PERIOD)
Value 125
Properties:
Testing ... (interrupt to exit)
Now we go to the remote and start to press the keys one by one to press all the buttons.
It should give a result like

If you can see events, then the receiver is working
read the built-in help - for the IR daemon - just run
ir.daemon --help
ir.daemon - simple ir daemon
ABOUT
run cmd by code, work without lircd
USAGE
[verbose=1] ir.daemon [test|monitor]
EXAMPLE
ir.daemon - run in daemon mode & restart reconfig old process
ir.daemon test - test mode
ir.daemon monitor - full monitor
ir.daemon config - print config
daemon= verbose=1 ir.daemon - debug foreground mode
ir.daemon kill - stop daemon
CONFIG FILES
/tmp/ir.daemon.pid - pid file
./ir.daemon.conf - config
./ir.daemon.conf.example - config example
/etc/ir.daemon.conf - config
CONFIG SYNTAX
# comment
# CODE CMD # comment
83e303 echo START # START/STOP
83e330 play start.ogg # PLAY
REQUIRE
evtest
Run ir.daemon test and now we press the buttons one by one. We can see the codes (scancode) for the buttons
b2dc
b288
b282
b2ca
b2ce
b2d2
b2c5
b29a
b281
b280
further we put them in /etc/ir.daemon.conf
the syntax is /etc/ir.daemon.conf
each line has the form
IR_CODE CMD
where IR_CODE code for the button of the console, and CMD is the usual linux command that is called when the key is pressed with this code
comments #
use the built-in editor nano /etc/ir.daemon.conf
ir.daemon config - config output
## rc config two
b2dc echo START # START/STOP
b288 audio.vol.toggle # MUTE
b282 echo HOME # HOME
b2ca mpc volume + # UP
b299 mpc prev # LEFT
b2ce mpc play # SET/OK
b2c1 mpc next # RIGHT
b2d2 mpc volume - # DOWN
b2c5 wifi.toggle # MENU
b29a echo BACK # BACK
b281 audio.vol.down # VOL DOWN
b280 audio.vol.up # VOL UP
Test the config
daemon=0 verbose=1 ir.daemon
push the buttons and check how it works)
if everything works as it should then run IR daemon ir.daemon
here we have no problems - I have just two different remote controllers (they use different codes) and therefore you need to duplicate the command for each - for example:
root@miZy:~# ir.daemon config | grep LEFT
83e363 mpc prev # LEFT
b299 mpc prev # LEFT
