🎉 IR Controller Setup - COMPLETE!

Successfully Deployed

Your IR controller setup system is now ready on the Raspberry Pi at /home/tulivision/rpi-tulivision/!

🚀 What's Available

Controller Setup Apps

  1. setup_controller.sh - Automated setup script (recommended)
  2. quick_controller_setup.py - Manual setup app
  3. ir_controller_setup.py - Full-featured setup app

Integration Status

  • Custom protocol decoder integrated into IR system
  • 34 command mappings already configured
  • IR listeners updated with custom protocol support
  • All files deployed and tested

🎯 How to Use

ssh tulivision@192.168.1.137
cd /home/tulivision/rpi-tulivision
./setup_controller.sh

Manual Setup

ssh tulivision@192.168.1.137
cd /home/tulivision/rpi-tulivision
python3 quick_controller_setup.py

📋 Setup Process

The setup will guide you through mapping 25 controller functions:

  1. Power Toggle - Power on/off
  2. Channels 1-9, 0 - Channel selection
  3. Volume Up/Down - Volume control
  4. Mute - Mute button
  5. Play/Pause - Media control
  6. Stop - Stop button

  8. Menu - Menu access
  9. Back - Back navigation
  10. OK - Confirm/Enter
  11. Arrow Keys - Up/Down/Left/Right

📁 Output Format

Mappings are saved in ir_mapping.json in the format needed by your services:

{
  "CUSTOM_BF00_AD52": {
    "command": "power_toggle",
    "description": "Power on/off button", 
    "repeatable": false
  }
}
