With everything shut down and off, I have no idea how the FLIRC knows what to do.There is a wide variety of cases and enclosures available for the Raspberry Pi 3, it been out for a while now so quite a few companies have put there design departments to work coming up with cases that both look great and can be used in a wide range of applications. Maybe you’re all about the style and look, perhaps your running processor intense software and need a little cooling with your case or you could just be looking for a case to protect your Pi, no matter what you needs I am confident that one of these cases will do the job perfectly. What better place to start than with the Pi case created by the Raspberry Pi Foundation itself, this case provides protection from dust and minor spills that may damage the device. As you would expect from the officially licensed product it’s a perfect fit for the Raspberry Pi 3 Model B.

The case arrives partially assembled but it needs to be disassembled to install the motherboard.
There are no instructions provided, but with only five pieces assembly is pretty intuitive. The motherboard will only fit in the bottom one way and the top has tabs that hold it in place when snapped together. One of the side panels fits snugly over the power, HDMI and audio ports, the other side panel is solid but can be removed to gain access to the GPIO pins. This case has been designed with HAT’s in mind and the top cover is easily removed for access to the motherboard and the camera/display ports. Access to the SD card is also good allowing you to easily insert and remove the non-spring loaded slot. This case has the added advantage of providing openings that allow visibility of the power and activity LED’s. This case also comes in a Red/White colour variant and delivers a simple and functional enclosure for your Pi. This is good quality case for the price that has been well designed with functionality in mind, the cutaway for the GPIO pins makes all the difference if you are making external connections to your Pi, it makes those all important pins easily accessible.

Other similar cases tend to have a slot rather than a full opening meaning that they are more suitable for the installation of a ribbon cable. This large opening means that you are able to remove any jumper cables by the plug rather than being forced to pull on the wires. Idealy this process should be as simple as turning to Google and looking up something like “ keymap” or “ keyboard shortcuts”.With this case all of the USB, LAN, HDMI ports etc. To that end, the first step in getting Flirc up and running is to determine what keyboard commands do what actions on your media center.

Determining Your KeymapĪlthough the Flirc configuration software does thoughtfully include button keymaps for Kodi/XBMC, Boxee, Windows Media Center, Amazon Fire TV, and even mapping for standard keyboard media keys (and we appreciate that thoughtfulness) it’s good to know how to look up and study a keymap without the assistance of the software so that you can effectively map anything to the Flirc (and not just the pre-mapped entries they provide). Let’s look at how to figure out what your device’s keymap is and then how to use Flirc to link the existing keymap with your remote. In order to configure Flirc properly you’ll need three things: the Flirc dongle/software, the remote you want to use with your media center, and a list of the keyboard inputs and shortcuts the media center software in question uses.

You see there is a fundamental problem when it comes to linking your typical universal or TV remote to a media center system like a Raspberry Pi running Kodi/XBMC, an Amazon Fire TV, a computer running Plex or Windows Media Center, or the like: these devices are either optimized for their own special remote (such as the bluetooth remote that comes with the Amazon Fire TV) or they are optimized for keymaps that map onto a keyboard (like Kodi/XBMC and Windows Media Center). The Flirc unit is far more clever than a simple storage unit though and works as an absolutely ingenious solution to the problem of linking IR-based remotes to media center software. At first glance it would be remarkably easy to confuse the Flirc unit with an actual thumb drive as the clear case, visible circuit board, and the IR receiver points (that look much like LED indicator lights) all strongly echo the design of thumb drive storage. Flirc ($20) is a tiny USB dongle about half the size of a traditional thumb drive.
