Hi Rob,

> A couple of days ago, I also looked at the www.autom8it.com site and
the

cool.
Just a small addendum....My name is Dan, Dante came form Dan T(oma), my
full
name...:-))
Dante is just... an alias..

You do not need to follow the links to build the hardware.. just take a
look
at the online help :
http://www.autom8it.com/dante/irman/irremote.htm#Hardware
of the IRM application... you will find there all you need to do to
build
the simplest IRM interface possible...:-)

Yes... this is RIGHT! Just wait a couple of days more and the new
version
will be posted on the site, with full FirM/AutoM8it support. If you want
to
test it before, send me a mail and I will send you the last
prerelease...:-)

I want to take this opportunity to ask you all something... If you have
Infrared receivers from commercially available PC remotes please send me
a
mail.... I want to make my application work with every possible
hardware
serial/parallel interface. Just started with a IR Mouse remote, very
popular
on eBay. Many thanks to Glenn for his help.

Cheers,

Dan
