I recently set up a Flirc IR receiver on my Pi2 running Openelec+Kodi. It's fantasic, by the way.. I've been through the Linux, lirc, keymap, MythTV configuration dance many times over the years, so I really appreciate the simplicity of Flirc.
Anyway, it's working well, but on the Pi all the ports are on one side of the device - meaning the ethernet and flickering light faces the same way the IR receiver does. Cable routing is also sub-optimal. I know I can get a basic USB extension to place the IR receiver elsewhere. But, I'm wondering if you guys have any more elegant solutions. For example, a case that incorporates the IR receiver. Or, maybe a bracket that lets me plug into the USB port on one side then face the IR the opposite direction. I searched around and came up empty.. any recommendations from those who have been using Flirc a lot longer than me?
Suggestions for mounting IR receiver on Pi2?
