Research direction
This issue proposes adding an infrared LED to the SPIRIT smartphone for use as a remote control. No technical details are provided. To begin, investigate existing smartphone IR LED implementations, consider component selection (e.g., IR LED, transistor, resistor), and assess integration with the Raspberry Pi CM 5 GPIO and enclosure. Review the repository's hardware documentation and schematics if available. Engage with maintainers to clarify feasibility and design constraints.
