ir.binGO

ir.binGO is a tool to manage infrared devices in the bytewerk hackerspace using the terminal. It gives you the possibility to define shortcuts to make music louder/quieter or to turn on and off the boxes using just a keystroke. It is written in Go. Obviously.

Quickstart

Manual

Usage of ir.binGO:
  -c string
        The command you want to execute. See a list of commands in the config file
  -config string
    Provide the config file to read from. Defaults to /etc/ir.bingo/config.toml (default "/etc/ir.bingo/config.toml")
  -d string
    The device you want to send your commands to. Defaults to the amplifier (default "amplifier")
  -delay int
    The delay in milliseconds to wait between multiple commands (default 200)
  -i    Interactive mode: Use a shell to interact with the receiver
  -p string
        The preset you want to execute. See a list of presets in the config file

Installation

1. Either download a pre-built copy of ir.binGO, or follow the build instructions below.
2. [Optional] Copy the binary to a location that is in your PATH variable so you can issue commands without the need to provide the exact location each time
3. Download the out-of-the-box configuration (which should be working in the bytewerk), create the /etc/ir.bingo directory and copy the configuration to /etc/ir.bingo/config.toml (or just create an own one)
4. [Optional] Create own presets and/or commands in the config file. It should be pretty self-explainatory.

Build

Set up a Go environment and make sure your GOPATH is set correctly. Then execute the following commands:

go get github.com/BurntSushi/toml
go get github.com/Bytewerk/ir.binGO
go build -o $GOPATH/bin/ir.binGO github.com/Bytewerk/ir.binGO
