PF Remote Posted February 15 (edited) Hey guys, some time ago, I have coded an app for controlling Lego PF using the IR diode of your Android phone. It didn't really work well, but since this time I have learned a lot about programming and made a new app for you. It is a BETA version, but I hope that there will be no issues with it. Before installing this app please google whether your phone has an IR blaster, this app won't work on devices without an IR blaster (physically not possible). The channelswitch is not working right now, but I will add this feature soon. I would be happy about some feedback from you! APK: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1R9LNj8mhx34Bkn0A7t8wN3RFn3g6LDQC/view?usp=sharing (do not wonder this app doesn't have an icon yet! When you have an idea for it, let me know!)

AussieBrett Posted February 15 Will have a poke round later, IR blaster and Brickcontroller2 is pretty much why I picked up a used Galaxy S6. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2GodBDGlory Posted February 16 Interesting initiative! This could be a good alternative for those who are too cheap to buy normal PF remotes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PF Remote Posted February 16 @2GodBDGlory Yes, I think that too, the range isn't that bad too, about 5-6 meters. @AussieBrett I would be happy about your tests;) I will make a video on the app soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ros Posted March 5 @PF Remote Will you re-upload the APK? The current link has expired. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PF Remote Posted March 5 @Ros Yes, I have updated it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ros Posted March 5 Unfortunately I'm unable to install it on my Xiaomi Mi A2 with Android 10. AFAIK it has IR blaster. I allowed to install apps from other sources. Are there any other requirements? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AussieBrett Posted March 14 (edited) I'm getting "package appears to be corrupt". Galaxy S6, Android 7.0 Edited March 14 by AussieBrett Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PF Remote Posted April 6 (edited) I have updated the link to the APK (here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1R9LNj8mhx34Bkn0A7t8wN3RFn3g6LDQC/view?usp=sharing), now the app should be instlling fine. I am working on Powered Up and Control+ support (you can see it inside the app, but it has no function at the moment) @Ros The app should be installing now on your phone.
