A learning kit that you can actually use while learning manufacturing techniques.

RPi-IREX is an expansion kit that allows you to add an infrared learning remote control function by connecting to a Raspberry Pi and programming. By using this product, you can build a learning remote controller that can control various home appliances at home, and you can learn while enjoying manufacturing technology.

The infrared learning function uses a learning method that does not depend on the infrared format.

We verified the infrared formats of various manufacturers and adopted a learning method that does not depend on the remote control format.
In addition to the NEC and SONY formats that are often used in Japan, it is also possible to register remote control signals that use the original formats of each manufacturer.

Equipped with infrared LEDs in 9 directions, it is possible to irradiate signals to the hemisphere.

RPi-IREX has LEDs arranged in 9 directions. The effective range of infrared rays is up to 360 degrees in the horizontal direction, up to 180 degrees in the vertical direction, and the maximum distance is 10 m, and it is possible to control various home appliances in the room at one place.
* Install this product in a place with good visibility so that infrared rays can be spread over a wide area.
* Reception sensitivity depends on the performance of home appliances (reception side).

It is equipped with firmware that can control the infrared learning / transmission function with commands.

This product is equipped with firmware that allows you to control the infrared signal learning and transmission functions with commands instead of a dedicated app. It is possible to create an application that suits your needs based on the command specifications of this product.

Two patterns of connection, HAT type (UART) and USB connection.

This product can be connected in two patterns: the GPIO 40Pin connection type HAT type, which is also found in many Raspberry Pi related devices, and the USB type, which is easy to connect. You can change the connection method according to the application.

The manual required for setup and the sample code required for control are published.

The procedure required to set up this product and the sample code for controlling it are available.

It can also be applied to Homebridge, which can be controlled by voice operation such as Siri.

This product is compatible with the server "Homebridge *" that emulates the iOS HomeKit API. By using Homebridge, you can control home appliances by voice from your iPhone.
* This product does not include "Homebridge". To use it, you need to build a Node.js server environment.
