Did you try a normal USB ir receiver? That's what I used to use before I got my Android media box with BT remote. Worked very well across a few different versions of Kodi / OpenElec / Ubuntu etc. on my Pi over the years.

Also, didn't know Robotics were selling Radaxa products. Thanks for that.
Wonder if they'll bring in these:

That's a good idea, I don't have one but I don't think it would be expensive and would be easy to try.
New Raspberry Pi Pico with WIFI just dropped today, if anyone's interested.
(Edit: Article says they have a pipeline for "10's of millions of units", so at least there should be good availability, if you need a non-ESP based wifi microcontroller for something - well, it's cheaper too I think).

ICASA, freaking ICASA will make it a long delay.
Adafruit and the gang with their own custom Wifi boards at their inflated prices will not be too happy.
Not much we can do about ICASA but Pishop already have "naked" boards listed, so no worries on that score.

Whats it like ? Any chance my daughter could play some simple games like Roblox or Minecraft ?
There are plenty posts everywhere that explain how to install games on the RPi, but I don't. On Youtube look for leepspvideo as his channel explains everything about the Raspberry Pi, including games.

I think the low RAM is going to be an issue. Also serving DNS requests for multiple clients over wifi is going to be slow.
Rather get a rpi3 or 4

No it's a microcontroller; like an Arduino.
Can give it to me if you're not gonna use it

I'm already running it on an old Odroid and Orange PI. Was just curious.
I already promised it to someone else. SorryCan give it to me if you're not gonna use it
That's actually a good idea. I also have spare buttons. Different brand tho. Could automate lights or something.

I might be wrong but I think the code hopping is proprietary so I don't think you would get a generic receiver, but these are not that expensive as far as I remember.

Easily, I have one of those on my gate and it has a relay with NO and NC terminals.

No Idea, I think the normal one like the one I have only has one but perhaps Centurion have other options. Give them a ring or pop them an email, they are very helpful.

Don't know what OS you want to run, but if you install a lite Linux, you can use Tlauncher for Minecraft and Grapejuice for Roblox.
