[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index] RE: Infrared Remote Control
Thanks Paul, Yes, you can assign an input to operate an output, I think it sticks 5v or<= BR> something on the output (or removes it)... I think I understand..... The output for say input one would "press" the source button on t= he URC....etc physically you (and my electronics is about as good as my ability to fly I would however need to find a cheap URC that cycles the source rather than= separate buttons. OR, and I can't remember if this is possible, assign 1 Any recommendations for a cheap URC that I could destroy.... :-) ?

Also, IIRC th= e output operation is pretty highly configurable in terms of the duration, th= e delay etc... Taking this a step further, it should therefore be possible to graft a VIOM= directly onto a piece of kit, so the the VIOM outputs operate certain functions directly... - you could try to graft it directly onto the source = components, or perhaps it would be less risky to graft it onto a cheap URC = so that the VIOM "presses" the buttons on the remote to operate t= he kit... Just my initial thoughts....
