Dear Sirs: I'm interested in developing a type of Remote Control for my PC. I expect that when LV gets the signals it procceds acordingly to the user selection.
Let's say that I have a generic remote control (numeric keypad and volumen buttons) and that I have an USB infrared-port attached to my pc. I have found several VIs on the palette, which I understand are suitable for communications but not for this case. I have checked a post on NI Forum: http://exchange.ni.com/servlet/ProcessRequest?RHIVEID=101&RPAGEID=135&HOID=506500000008000000A1740000&UCATEGORY_0=_49_%24_6_&UCATEGORY_S=0&USEARCHCONTEXT_QUESTION_0=HOWTO%3A+Infra+red+remote+control&USEARCHCONTEXT_QUESTION_S=0 which explains the differences between standard IR communication and this kind of applications. But, I guess it shouldn't be a big problem, I have seen developments on some Scientific Calculators (i.e. from HP) which learn from a remote control on their Ir port, and later the calculator can be used to control the appliances. I guess that the issue here is to read the signals of every button to "teach" my VI what to expect to read later. Where can I find some info about this kind of application? I will appreciate any kind of help on this matter. Thank in advance Best regards, Mauricio
