Please log in for more thread options expand some current products functionality. Specificialy i am interested in expanding the use of Global Cache (www.globalcache.com). What i am looking for is a device or piece of software that takes an infrared signal and outputs a serial code via a com port, the reason being is we have software that will not include serial codes for certain devices but has infrared progamability. So i could get the programe to send an infrared signal to the device and the device have a serial command it would then send to the device mimicing serial control. I know 2 way communication would be harder but serial control is all i am trying to achieve for now via infrared. Can anyone suggest anything?

Please log in for more thread options I'm not sure I understand what you want but most IR to serial devices will not have an output that matches the serial protocol of your (unspecified) device. Most output either a non-specific (but unique) code (e.g. IRMan) or output CCF codes. It sounds like you need a custom IR-serial translator. Take a look at Celadon - they do this type of thing. http://www.celadon.com/index.html http://davehouston.net http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/roZetta/ roZetta-subscribe@yahoogroups.com | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Following are links to a few IR to RS232 devices I found so far. Drivers are provided but you'll still need to do some coding since most are intended for specific purposes such as file transfer. http://www.cooldrives.com/irconcabrsir.html http://www.8bit-micro.com/trs-80-irda.htm http://www.expansys.com/p.aspx?i=106297 http://www.industrologic.com/ir2desc.htm http://www.media.mit.edu/resenv/pushpin/ir-to-rs232.html http://www.armory.com/~spcecdt/remote/ http://www.mobileplanet.com/p.aspx?i=106297 Enjoy. -- Regards, Robert L Bass =============================>

Which uses Sony SIRC 40khz IR codes. Are you using Sony devices and remotes? | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
