In Reply to: using laptop as remote control posted by Ed on January 6, 2002 at 20:19:27:
http://www.chambord-tech.com/faqs1.htm states the following:"In most cases, this will not be possible. First, IrDA is configured to send data from the PC to another PC or a printer, for example. It is not configured (from a software or hardware perspective) to send the multiple types of consumer infrared codes in use today. Second, IrDA code transmission takes place using infrared diodes operating at a peak wavelength of 880 nm, while consumer electronic gear operates at a peak wavelength of 940 nm. If the IrDA interface could be driven in support of a consumer electronic code, the product being controlled does have some response at 880 nm. However, the reduced signal strength at 880 nm would lead to a very short effective range. For more information, click over to the IrDA's website. http://www.irda.org "
They have a product which allows control of up to nine entertainment devices in your home - such as your TV, VCR, satellite (or cable) and amplifier via your PC/laptop. see http://www.chambord-tech.com/product2.htm
These two sites may be of some help:
http://www.veg.nildram.co.uk/remote.htmhttp://www.irda.org/use/pubs/Sigmatel_ir.pdf (a IR port that will allow to send IR codes for TVs etc)
I hope this is helpful.
All I ask is for a chance to prove that money can't make me happy.
