Infra red interface

Hi All,



I am in the process of waiting for a Philips Pronto 980 to arrive and
whilst
I am waiting I was looking around the find a suitable Infra Red to xAP
interface.



I see the Red Rat but the price is too high once I add shipping.



I have thought about doing a simple Infra Red to USB interface as I only
need one way so that I can trigger Homeseer. I think the Pronto can output
RC5 code which makes decoding a snip on the AVR as there is loads of
samples
around to do this.



Has anyone done a project like this before?



Dave...
