freeze Posted June 24, 2015 Report Share Posted June 24, 2015 I imagine that you could install the flirc software onto a windows PC, and then plug in flirc there to set it up. Once it's configured how you like it, you can remove the flirc and plug it into the Pi. No fancy software install required. It looks like a USB keyboard. ...but honestly, flirc is overkill for the Raspberry Pi. You could just connect an IR reciever to the GPIO pins of the raspi. I have done it using a 38Khz IR receiver from Radio Shack (we still have an active store in my town) for less that $5. Catalog number 276-0640.
