I won’t have to use a mouse or keyboard, but just FLIRC and a remote – awesome! How much does it cost? This will be excellent for me to use in school when I want to show a video using the Pi. You can use the XBMC app on your smartphone, provided your media centre and smartphone are networked.īut, if you don’t have your media centre or phone on a suitable network, or you don’t want to use your smartphone, FLIRC enables you to use any infra-red household remote to control your media centre. ![]() I use a flirc case on a rpi 4 build and it works perfectly, about 20 C cooler than the bare board.

Navigation was flawless.įirst time I did the setup, I was concerned because I’d forgotten to plug in a wifi dongle to the Pi. I used it with OpenELEC on my HD TV/monitor (not the little one in the photo) to watch Big Buck Bunny – I always use that as a test because it’s about the only free full HD movie around. With no idea of how fast your internet connection normally is, not much to say about that. Do that for each of the buttons you want to be able to program, and you’re done. In the Q&A section of that page, ModMyPi state it's not compatible with the Raspberry Pi 3 B+. ModMyPi is selling a Pi 3 case listed as 'supporting the Raspberry Pi B+/2/3'.
