PC IR Remote ControlKieren,

There is now a commercial version of this called the "Red Rat2" from the guy
who wrote those pages. I asked him a few months back about them and he said
that while it worked it was a little unreliable...

The web site, from memory, for the curious is

Okay, maybe someone can try THIS on for size.

Much of it is over my head but maybe someone in the list could make some
sense of it. There are three pages. Look at the last one
http://www.ee.washington.edu/eeca/circuits/PCIR/pcirsw.html
in particular.







PC IR Remote Control


This page gives some information on a PC based IR remote control system I've
developed for computer control of TV, video, satellite and hifi equipment
etc.
I have used an IBM compatible, so the software here is for such a machine,
however I guess that it is straightforward (perhaps easier) to implement
this on another type of machine.
Here are descriptions of:
Remote control IR signals.
The hardware.
The software.
I have used information from various sources, which are acknowledged here.
Some of them can give you quite a bit more info than I've got here. Any
comments or mistakes, please contact me at the address below.
ENJOY! However, please read my disclaimer! if you feel the need to.
