Re: Ability to drive multiple IR transmitters independantly from PC

Hi  Alexis

I think (IMHO) the cheapest way forward  would be to purchase a
USBUIRT

Then make your own Homebrew Transmitter  Zone Selector using say a pic
micro.. Or connect the USBUIRT output to something like this...

http://www.oceancontrols.com.au/controllers/serial_daq_k108.htm

The ir output of the USBUIRT connects to all relay commons ....To send
ir to a set zone firstly send a command to the serial device to turn
ON  1 output and then  send the ir signal via the USBUIRT then turn the
zone relay off .....??...Looks like you can connect multiples of this
serial device to a single serial port.....

Also with my FirM Kit if using only the Transmitter function no FirM
Receivers required.......but as i mentione a serial interface would be
required....

HTH
