Raspberry Pi IR Receiver Software

I am trying to use the Raspberry Pi to take a picture with the camera when the button on the IR blaster is pressed and I don't want to use the media center software. How to program the IR part?

LIRC

Linux Infrared Remote Control is an open source project that you can use to configure and read various IR commands from just about any remote control you have. Project website: http://www.lirc.org

You can use cheap IR Recievers available for under $ 2. Like this one: http://www.adafruit.com/products/157
There is a guide at http://www.weedpi.com/how-to/add-ir-support-to-your-raspberry-pi/


, which is very simple and easy to use, and guides you through setup LIRC

, recording input from any remote control and assigning a command to run (for example raspistill -o cam.jpg

, for example), when it LIRC daemon

sees, reads this command from the sensor.
There are many other passes online, although not all of them specifically refer to the Raspbery Pi. Once you get past this first one, you can create more complex configurations.
