help ! USB IR receiver/transmitter

[Wally]

Is there a simple code for reading and transmitting infa red for the
tv, vcr, dvd etc.

I have a client who has limited/no use of her hands. I've purchased a
tira-2 infa red receiver/transmitter so she could control her tv,
vcr,dvd via the computer using dragon speak. the program they
suggested to use was Girder.. But this is a very complicated program
for her to use.

All I need is a simple little program that with record a infa red
singal and then plays it back when I click on the proper command
button.

Can somebody help?

Is there a program already available?

or a simple vb code that will do this?

Command buttonone records the IR from the old remote via the tira-2
box (usb).
and Command button two plays it back via the tira-1 box.

I know it's porblay not as simple as I make it out to be, but this
girder program seems to be made to control the whole house. it's
overkill for just a simple turn it on turn it off need.

Thanks for your help

You picked the wrong hardware.

USB-UIRT has a developer's SDK if you want to write your own application. It
is also supported by numerous software applications. Most are getting as
complicated as Girder but you might look at V-REMOTE which is voice control
software for it that was due for release a month or so ago.

If you expect to do this for others in the future, another more costly but
more versatile approach is the General Caché GC-100 which has a TCP/IP
interface. It's fairly easy to work with and you can readily translate
Pronto CCF codes for use with it.

You might also look here for other approaches.

Wally,

Did you look at the Tira-2 SDK on the HomeElectronics web site? You can
download it from:

http://www.home-electro.com/download...win_latest.zip

It has a sample VB program that seems to do exactly what you want.

Regards,
Eric
