Raspberry Pi

Hi Guys,
New to the group so bare with me if this topic has already been covered... I would like to purchase a couple of Raspbeery Pi units, but was wondering if there was a control module available for them to be operated by a Pro2? Would be grateful if some one could point me in the right direction. Rgds Mike |
Umm. That's kind of a broad question. The Pi is a piece of hardware that

runs Linux or Android or whatever operating system that you can find for it. It's just as controllable as any other Linux distro. Nick Sent from my eMail. On May 21, 2013, at 1:07 PM, micky3corks <micky3corks@...> wrote:

Not too sure. Have just being doing some research on Google, and apparently you can connect an IR receiver to it and control it with a remote? If that that is the case then it is easy, but was wondering if it could be controlled via IP etc?

Tres
it is obvious you don't know what a raspberry pi is. I would just avoid the
expense and do some more research as to what the raspberry pi actually is. hint. it is a computer. From: Crestron@...

Give the guy a break, there are no stupid questions. I haven't worked with the PI but I have messed with the Arduino. If it is anything like the arduino uno then you can just connect rs232 to it and write whatever protocol you want. I would suggest the arduino, it's so easy you can learn it in 5 minutes. You can make a button press or any other event send a string to the crestron. Just parse it on the creston end and make things happen. Good luck.

I have a raspberry pi with openelect(xbmc) installed.
i just soldered up an IR receiver to the GPIO ports and learned a remote to control it. (or use a pre defined remote like a MCE/apple tv) it has cec control so you can also use the tv remote via HDMI connection (tried this but a bit slow for my liking) also being xbmc you can use the crestron module using json commands. does this help? |

You can also run a Squeezebox server on there () and use the module referred to often on this forum to control that.
