IR input

Oct 27, 2005 5 Replies

I have an IR remote control. This I got when I bought (PixelView) TV Tuner card sometime back. Now I want to use it as a input device. How can I use it? Any idea will be highly appreciable.



Please note that I dont have the sensor (for PC) that came with the package. Now, What are the options for me, to have input into the PC?



Thanks and Regards,

I think that your best option would be to get a sensor. There are plenty of schematics and free code at this address

What type of sensor should I buy from market, any specification etc.? Which type of interface and connector type it has for connection to the system? Are these generic sensors?

Thanks,

Just wanted to add to Noels post - I've been using the Infrared remot solutions modules, and they are really neat. Can be recommended.

I'm glad you like them. (I'm IRSI's external electronics and firmware designer for many of their products (include the receiver modules)) :)
