cmpxchg | wonder if there will ever be a new phone-platform that provides FM-radio and infrared, on a self-hosting linux system | 09:13 |
---|---|---|
sixwheeledbeast | IR transceiver on this keyboard plate would be nice, in fact if they just commited to getting as close to N900 features on the this keyboard I could see it being relatively popular option. | 09:18 |
cmpxchg | 'this keyboard' ? | 09:25 |
sixwheeledbeast | pinephone keyboard | 09:51 |
luke-jr | do people still use FM and IR? | 10:23 |
luke-jr | I mean, I never did even when I used N900 | 10:23 |
KotCzarny | fm is nice in a car when you dont have cable or bt | 10:28 |
KotCzarny | or to jam radio in public transport, hue hue | 10:28 |
luke-jr | lol | 10:30 |
luke-jr | IIRC I just used a casette-tape 3.5mm adapter to save battery | 10:31 |
KotCzarny | see the 'forgotten cable' part | 10:31 |
KotCzarny | unless you always carry one with you | 10:31 |
KotCzarny | :) | 10:32 |
luke-jr | I left/leave it in the vehicle | 10:37 |
cmpxchg | infrared is nice to control TV and lighting remotes | 13:21 |
cmpxchg | or to exchange businesscards with very specific other IR users | 13:21 |
cmpxchg | 'special IR hanshake' :) | 13:22 |
Maxdamantus | I have used IR occasionally to control a flatmate's TV which doesn't have a remote. | 13:23 |
Maxdamantus | and I think my own TV/monitor when I've realised my remote's batteries are flat (I only use the remote rarely since I normally use it as a computer monitor, but will sometimes switch to component to use it as a PS2 display) | 13:26 |
sixwheeledbeast | I use the IR and FM | 14:19 |
sixwheeledbeast | FM in friends cars to listen to music and IR for random TV's. Ever been into a TV showroom and switched all the TV's off... :whistle: | 14:20 |
sixwheeledbeast | In pierogi i have a macro for setting my tv to a mode too | 14:21 |
sunshavi | I have never used infrared. Could I open my garage door?. Is it python|C? | 17:22 |
sunshavi | I used infraded with Palm on the past. But It was an app. like a remote control (And You neeed to be very near to the tv, less than a meter) | 17:24 |
sicelo | n900 IR cannot exchange business cards since it's uni-directional | 17:26 |
bencoh | infrared on n900 can come in handy once in a while | 17:26 |
bencoh | (although I even forgot about it tbh) | 17:26 |
sicelo | i also have used it for some time are a remote :) | 17:27 |
bencoh | sunshavi: you can have a look at pierogi if you want an example | 17:27 |
bencoh | there is another popular application, but I forgot its name | 17:27 |
cmpxchg | sunshavi: infrared is typically a UART-like signal from a software point of view | 17:38 |
cmpxchg | there once was a IR mode of the wifi spec, but that has long been abandonned | 17:38 |
cmpxchg | RC-5 is used for remotes, and not really standard UART https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RC-5 | 17:40 |
sunshavi | bencoh: cmpxchg: thanks | 17:44 |
sunshavi | KotCzarny: pierogi could work with opiplus2e SBC? | 19:17 |
sunshavi | pierogi worked with my ISDTB deco. :) | 22:30 |
sixwheeledbeast | pierogi is coded more from the UX whereas LIRC types are more open to whatever you want | 22:57 |
sixwheeledbeast | If it's not in Pierogi you would have to see if the devs still about or add it yourself. | 22:57 |
sunshavi | swb: 4 opening my garage door? | 23:14 |
sunshavi | swb: or for talking to my SBC? or both | 23:18 |
sixwheeledbeast | generally about the apps and the protocols | 23:21 |
sunshavi | well my SBC has /dev/lirc0. so probably I could play a little bit with it | 23:25 |
sicelo | pierogi wasn't exactly using the LIRC backend/protocol | 23:39 |
sicelo | might be easier to adapt the other applications instead, i suppose. not saying pierogi won't work :) | 23:44 |
