USB-UIRT, WinXP and WinLIRC
Posted: Sun Nov 26, 2006 11:55 am
Hi,
I'd like to use USB-UIRT to interface my hifi remote to my pc just for simple tasks like playing and skipping music tracks. I'd also like to do it as cheap as possible. I bought a USB-IrDA adaptor but the manufacturer don't make a driver that allows you to see the data as a com port so I can't interface it to something like WinLIRC although the hardware spec. should support a tv remote. Does anyone know a way of making this work without device specific support from something like Girder?
Anyway, I'd like to use USB-UIRT with WinLIRC or something similar (free), is this possible? Does the USB-UIRT driver let you see the incoming data on a com port?
thanks very much
