Hi All,
Don't know if anyone will be interested in this, but it may be of use
to
someone.
Having got the ntl box under the control of the ha pc and installing a
mouseremote to allow control of it from anywhere in the house (thanks
to
everyone who gave advice), I moved on to the next project of trying to
get
the ha pc capable of controlling all of the IR devices in the house.
The obvious choice was to cable up ir emitters all over the house, but
i'm
too lazy for that ;-)
I had some bits left over (namely the original mouseremote 'remote' and
a
powermid receiver).
It ocurred to me that if I could get the ha pc to operate the remote, I
could just setup a few powermid receivers around the house to relay the
ir
commands.
Breaking open the remote revealed a small pcb daughter board containing
the
rf transmitter just begging to be removed. After a bit of soldering to a
9
pin plug (2 connections tx, gnd) and a bit of freeware software
(winsamp)
the ha pc can now send ir as rf directly to powermids :-)
It should also be able to send X10 commands directly to TM13U's etc as
well,
not sure if that's any use though.
Now I just need to build a small ir receiver to let me sample all of
the
remotes (winsamp happened to have a predefined sample which matched my
video)..
Regards
Tony T
