UIRT + Girder ( was RE: I need some Help..)

["Ian Lowe" <ian@xxxxxxx>]

Resolved, and finally doing the business..

Problems were a mix of dry joints (a flux bubble) and not quite
understanding the requirements for a 3-Wire Serial interface..  (for
reference, you need to "loop" pins 1-4 and 7-8 in a D9 plug at
the computer
end)

Fixed these guys, tested for a reliable Power Supply, and "pow"
it worked.

Now, this is a very neat toy.

It can learn the code from any IR remote (not IRDA) and play it back on
request.

as an example, I have a test command which will switch on my TV, switch to
AV-2, Switch on my AV Amp, Switch to the AV-Switch input, Select the Sky
Digibox on the AV Switch, then Send "4-5-4" to the Sky Box.

in other words, Kerrang TV from power off in one command.

This can be triggered by another IR event, or by a windows system event,
etc
etc..

I am now looking to build a Source Switch Webpage, on my IIS server which
will allow me to switch channels etc from anywhere in the house..

Thanks Quentin for starting me off on this track!

Ian.

Did I hear my name ;-) ?

What I suggest you try out first is a little program called serialwatcher
(see http://www.pcremotecontrol.com/info.html
all the way down the bottom)
This will just listen on the serial port and output any data it gets. This
enables you to see if the receiver is working and rule that out of the
equation.
