PC remote control

Step 7 Overview

In this design hardware is very simple and cheap. I choose Girder becouse it is multilanguage program and it has free versions. It has a lot of hardware plugins too.
For better explanation how to use it read user manual. All remotes controllers works fine with this chip and program.
Just spend 20 minutes and you will have ultimate pc control.
It will cos 10$ - 20$ to you when analogs in stores cost 10 times more.
Have a good and happy New Year!
p.s. My kitty rocks!

hi, awesome ible... tried this and Girder (4.0.5.2) works fine with the Igor pluggin, but when i use my remote and try to map the keys to the event..it just cannot diffrentiate between the keys...since the remote is detected i dont think that the hardware is wrong, i guess its something to do with setting in the software..please help !!!!. ... i tried it with diffrerent remotes and i face the same problem...

[varun.coolmax]

FYI....whenever i press any button on the remote it detects it as FFFF event...and hence it recognizes all the keys as same...please help....thanks

[Danthaman]

sounds like one of your components is wrong or connected wrong and is providing too high a voltage t the serial port (It could also be serial port config problems)

hmmm i just went to the site i mentioned below...and at the end it just gave the solution i was looking for (it was a one liner hidden somewhere in the text)..... anyways i was using IGOR plguin version 4.0.5 hence there was a bit of a change in the schematic... i.e we just have to Join pin 1 to pin 3 of RS232 anyways now i am good ...... working my computer from the far reaches of my room....Life is beautiful !!!!

Truly awesome project. Do I need the igorplugxp if i am running winxp? If so i cannot find a good file, every one i download will not extract, i have downloaded the other igorplugins fine. Thanks for any help

[manikandan]

also the igor(1.1.2.0) plugin (1.1.2.0) does not works with tje latest version of girder(girder 5 beta).If i add the igor.dll to the plugin folder of girder the program hangs and closes after a few second.how to fix this problem

[manikandan]

i made this circuit , it works fine but some times its not working i figured out the ir code i receveive is not reliable ie the girder is generating different codes for the same key i press on my remote..i also tried with differnt remote.note i used tsop1358 since i couldn't get tsop1738 in my place(INDIA)

[Zujus]

hi good work i want to control 10 tv's with my pc and want to control with my own software so please guide me for that n tell how i can implement code in my software

[Zujus]

I think that would be hard. You need to send and receive signals. SO maybe just buy IR device for PC and try something. :) In software i can't help very much. sry.

[akashigh]

thank you for your reply have a nice time :)
