RE: TI-H: Infrared control
If you need help tinkering with the code and testing, I would be willing to
help. I have piles of remotes and some universal ones that can do lots of
different outputs. I would be willing help, but I will admit that I am no
expert. I wonder what the range is of the port on the HPC? I am also not
sure that a normal TV remote is able to communicate correctly with the IRdA
port on the HPC, but I bet that Grant knows :) . This is one of the things
that makes me wish I had a palm pilot, however I hate graffiti so I guess I
will have to live.
