Step by step guide for using IR remote with moOde

[charlesky]

This guide still works just fine for MoOde 8.1 (and has the benefit of being exhaustively thorough and including every step in detail) with one proviso:

The entry for /boot/config.txt needs to be changed to:

Code:

dtoverlay=gpio-ir,gpio_pin=4

Change the number (4 in this case) to the GPIO number of the pin you are using for your sensor.
The dtparam line isn't needed.
