Could you guys help me locate that one thread that told you how to make a remote to control programs through your serial port ,but get this the one that uses IR. Thanks , or if you could just make a quick one for me that would be great.
Hope this is what you meant, anyways it's a stating point. BTW you can get complete IR receiver modules out of a old dead VCR or similar device that was caontrolled by remote. This is the one part that some people were having a bit of trouble buying. http://forums.bit-tech.net/showpost.php?p=749551&postcount=13
Well I got it wired up, but now the program (the third on down on the page) doesnt detect eny of my remotes.
Are you still having problems foxx? I'll keep an eye on this thread, anything you need, just post here and I'll try to help you.
Ya I am, I know I wired it correct. And I tried it with a whole different recever but it still wont do enything in the program. I even tried two different remotes. I think it is because I am clicking the wrong thing. in the prgeam it askes what device, anir multymedia magic ati remote wonder audigydrive creative live!drive ir flyvideo 3000 generic dcd line device generic serial ir reciever hauppauge wintv irman keyboard lirc based device logitech oem (ast,nec,ibm) magic tview (cph051 cph061) micromedia remote packerd bel fast media pinnacle pctv realmagic hollywood+ redlink 105 tv silitech sm-1000 soundblaster audgy 2 soundblaster extigy tv capture board uir urcr 1.2 winfast tv2000 xp deluxe winlirc so which one of those, and my reciever is 56 htz so would it work with a normal remote. And my other reciever I tried is a tsop 1556 is that ok or is it a different frequesncy also, or do I have to get a whole new one all thogether that is made for 36htz(what I heard is a normal remote).
Oh come on I'm not a comlete freaking retard. Ok I have gathered a little more info, I have tried it with a pull up resister a pull down resister and no resister so I got to this in order for the program to detect it neads at least a -3/3 volt difference so I got out the trusty multymeter and when it is not connected to the serial port it does this fine(with and without the resister) but when I attach it to the serial port the single is like reduced, the number on my multymeter doesnt move as much, infact it only moves barely eny. So whats up, I tried to see if pin one is sending out eny voltage of its own but its very minute so my reciever should still work. Well I guess they are right the more you spend the better the product so im going to make the more advanced one with transisters and such.
