FLIRC usb

The Flirc USB allows you to pair any remote control with your computer or media center (Including the Raspberry Pi)! Just walk through the super simple cross platform pairing application, and you’re done. Use your previously paired remote with no additional software on any machine with Flirc.

The Flirc USB learns from any remote control, not caring about different vendor protocols. Just walk through the super simple setup – pairing individual remote buttons with ‘Media Centre Buttons’ and you’re done.

It’s basically a universal IR receiver, so it can be used with any remote you choose, old, new or Universal! The best part about Flirc is that it can be used to mimic a keyboard so every media center application understands it without any drivers. Although Flirc’s range depends on the strength of the remote control you are using, it will work up to 20 feet away with most remotes. Like all infrared (IR) devices, Flirc works best when it’s placed in the line of site of the remote control.
