Yeah I was thinking that the next one I build, when the need arises, would be a microcontroller-based solution using the ATtiny or something similar since it has a hardware IR modulator in it, and power it off a spare USB port. Then you could just load everything onto the uc and forego lirc altogether. Serial ports are getting harder to find. -- Bob Copeland %% www.bobcopeland.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
