Setting up the infrared

Use irrecord to create a lirc Config file. You need an ir receiver for that. sudo irrecord -d /dev/lirc0 and copy the generated file in /etc/lirc/lircd.conf.d/your-remotes-name.lircd.conf

remove devinput mv /etc/lirc/lircd.conf.d/devinput.lircd.conf /etc/lirc/lircd.conf.d/devinput.lircd.conf.dist

Add following lines to /etc/modules

lirc_dev
lirc_rpi gpio_out_pin=22
