IR Remote Control Hack for WiiM Mini

[Ralph_Cramden]

A hack to connect a cheap IR remote control to your WiiM Mini via a Raspberry Pi Pico W. Pause/Play, Next/Prev, and direct select item 1-9 in Queue. I use fixed volume, so didn’t implement volume control, but should be straightforward to add.

Farting around with a small display for the Pico remote. Readable, but using MicroPython, not enough RAM to fill the entire 240x320 display. 2” Waveshare is about the same size as the RME’s display.
