WIRE YOUR PUSHBUTTON

Rasberry Pi B+/2/3 GPIO NumbersLight up the pushbutton

Using our illuminated metal pushbutton, you will have to wire the + pin to a Raspberry GPIO (eg. GPIO 14 (pin 8)) and the - pin to a GND Raspberry pin. You need to configure the pin to be "up". We will provide script soon.

Wire the the normally open (NO) feature of the pushbutton

If using long pushbutton wire the NO and C pins. For our short pushbutton, wire the 2 other pins. Wire (NO) and (C) pins to a free GPIO  and to a GND pin. We recommend GPIO3 if you are not using an i2c DAC.

Note from the Hifiberry team: HifiBerry boards use GPIO3 so "while it won’t harm the board, it might have an impact on the function of the board. I would strongly recommend to use another GPIO for this. Otherwise the HiFiBerry board might stop working."

INSTALL THE ADDON

You need to install Rpi.GPIO library first for this to work. See "HOW TO CONFIGURE OPENELEC by Arnaud P" to know how to proceed.

Install nuxii-button addon

cd /storage/downloads

Download our script on Sourceforge :

wget https://sourceforge.net/projects/script-xbmc-nuxii-button/files/script.xbmc.nuxii.button.zip/download -O script.xbmc.nuxii.button.zip

From the Kodi Menu :

System > Settings > Add-ons > Install from zip file > Home folder > downloads > script.xbmc.nuxii.button.zip

You can configure the GPIO you use, the refresh rate and what happens when you push a button.

System > Settings > Add-ons > Services > NuXii Button Controller > Configure

Available actions:

• Mute()

• Reboot()

• Shutdown()

• ActivateScreensaver()

• UpdateLibrary(video)

• PlayerControl(Play)

• RefreshRSS()

• default: Shutdown()

Sources files are located at: /storage/.kodi/addons/script.xbmc.nuxii.button/

Warning: If you change a setting or if you need to modify the addon, you should reboot first and after you change

ACTIVATE YOUR INFRARED RECEIVER

Activate Device Tree Overlay

Edit config.txt via SSH

mount -o remount,rw /flash

nano /flash/config.txt

Add the following to config.txt

dtoverlay=lirc-rpi,gpio_in_pin=17,gpio_out_pin=7

then ctrl+x to save.

mount -o remount,ro /flash

reboot

If you have a Nuxii Remote control:

nano /storage/.config/lircd.conf

copy this code

ACTIVATE THE LEDS

You need to install Rpi.GPIO library for this to work. See "HOW TO CONFIGURE OPENELEC by Arnaud P" to know how to proceed.

Install nuxii-led addon

cd /storage/downloads

Download our script on Sourceforge :

wget https://sourceforge.net/projects/script-xbmc-nuxii-led/files/script.xbmc.nuxii.led.zip/download -O script-xbmc-nuxii-led.zip

From the Kodi Menu :

System > Settings > Add-ons > Install from zip file > Home folder > downloads > script.xbmc.nuxii.led.zip

You can configure the GPIO you use and the condition where they light up.

README_Power_ON_OFF README_Lirc

1. Add RPi.GPIO tools

From the Kodi Menu:

System > Settings > Add-ons > Install from Repo > OpenELEC Add-ons (Official) > Add on Repo > OpenELEC Add-ons (Unofficial)

Then go to:

OpenELEC Add-ons (Unofficial) > RPi.GPIO > Install

Reboot

2. Power Button

Power button pinout : Pin5(GPIO3) & Pin6 (GND)

3. Create script

mkdir /storage/scripts

nano /storage/scripts/shutdown.py

Then add:

#!/usr/bin/python
import sys
sys.path.append('/storage/.kodi/addons/python.RPi.GPIO/lib') 
import RPi.GPIO as GPIO 
import time 
import subprocess 
time.sleep(15) 
# we will use the pin numbering to match # the pins on the Pi, instead of the 
# GPIO pin outs (makes it easier to keep track of things) 
GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BOARD) 
# use the same pin that is used for 
# the reset button (one button to rule them all!) 
GPIO.setup(5, GPIO.IN, pull_up_down = GPIO.PUD_UP) 
oldButtonState1 = True
while True: 
#grab the current button state 
buttonState1 = GPIO.input(5) 
# check to see if button has been pushed 
if buttonState1 != oldButtonState1 and buttonState1 == False:
 subprocess.call("shutdown -h now", shell=True, stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.PIPE)
 oldButtonState1 = buttonState1
 time.sleep(.5)

nano /storage/.config/autostart.sh

add:

 python /storage/scripts/shutdown.py &

Reboot system then check if working

OPENELEC DEFAULT SETTINGS

disable:

 HDMI CEC => System => System => Input Devices => Peripherals (Unable HDMI CEC)

Reboot

1. Make SD card writable:

mount -o remount,rw /flash


2. Edit Config file:

nano /flash/config.txt

Add followings (Lirc Support):

dtoverlay=lirc-rpi,gpio_in_pin=17

reboot

3. Test lirc

dmesg | grep 'lirc'

[    3.667447] lirc_dev: IR Remote Control driver registered, major 248 [    3.681240] lirc_rpi: module is from the staging directory, the quality is unknown, you have been warned.

[    4.528984] lirc_rpi: module is from the staging direcmount -o remount,rw /flashtory, the quality is unknown, you have been warned.

[    4.576199] lirc_rpi: driver registered!

[    5.448860] input: lircd as /devices/virtual/input/input0

4. Test remote control

mode2 -d /dev/lirc0

Then check answer by pushing button

5. Start Lirc properly @ startup

echo "killall lircd; /usr/sbin/lircd --driver=default --device=/dev/lirc0 --uinput --output=/var/run/lirc/lircd --pidfile=/var/run/lirc/lircd-lirc0.pid /storage/.config/lircd.conf" >> /storage/.config/autostart.sh

6. Record IR CODES

killall lircd irrecord -d /dev/lirc0 /storage/.config/lircd.conf

KEY_BACK

KEY_HOME

KEY_UP

KEY_DOWN

KEY_LEFT

KEY_RIGHT

KEY_SELECT

KEY_STOP
