Help: ESP32-Audio-Kit A1s LED and IR receiver

[holefrog]

Hi,
I have an ESP32-Audio-Kit A1s with firmware version I2S-4MFlash-1607, running in Squeezelite-ESP32 mode.
I want to add a LED and an IR receiver to it, but I have no idea which pins I should use.

You can use any available IO.
For example: If you are not using the SPI port you have a P2 connector that you can use. (GPIO5/18/19/23)
Personally, for the IR receiver, I use GPIO0 in common with BOOT mode. (It is present on connector P3)
Note that on your card you can use one of the two configurable LEDs on the card (GPIO19/22 on P2)
You must then adapt your NVS configuration file (See Readme)

Thank so much.

Your config and mine almost has no common code, except the power button. I will upload mine when I have it tested.

I have three more problems/questions:

1. I have one Play/Pause button, so I have to use another button (Mode) as 'Play,' and the Play/Pause button as 'Pause.'

2. I cannot find which key is for 'previous' or 'next' in 'Slim_Devices_Remote.ir'. I tried 'previous' and 'next,' as well as 'arrow_left' and 'arrow_right,' but none of them work.

3. The number buttons do not work; for example, pressing 1 does not play the number 1 song.

1 - There is no other solution (at least I think)

2 and 3 - You must have more than one song loaded in your playlist

PS: Thanks for sharing in the remote control post but can you rename your file to "china_remote.ir" because "Slim_Devices_remote.ir" is already used for another existing command.

For 2/3. Which key should I use, arrow_left or previous?
I am playing a album, and it contains songs. But one of the key works.

And for "Slim_Devices_remote.ir", How do I specify which command set LMS uses? I couldn't find the option, I can only replace 'Slim_Devices_remote.ir'.

[Renber78]

The commands are "fwd" and "rew" to change songs
The remote control is selectable in: player option / advanced option / remote control

Now the previous/next key works. Thanks.
As for "player option / advanced option / remote control", I know the reason now. I have not installed the plugin at that time, so, there is not "remote control" available.
