![]() ![]() The better part of a decade ago, I successfully experimented sending IR signals with the eHome dongle using HIP software and tools from a site in Australia.Ĭan't remember the details, but it was pretty straight forward to output IR commands to the dongle, so, I wonder if this software might be able to access the ir transmitter in the Gen2 Flirc. I know the Flirc was designed to be seen as a keyboard for the Operating System.įwiw, the microsoft USB eHome IR dongle (for the windows MCE Media Center Edition) has the ability to transmit IR commands from windows. These raw inputs can than be used to trigger events. What I rather want to is to have all infrared events from the Flirc, displayed as raw input in EventGhost. Let's say I use 41 buttons (bottom part not included), than this makes it effective 164 IR codes and thus 164 keyboard presses/combinations which I cannot use anymore by myself, because they are attached to EventGhost to process a task. However my rm-f04 (shown above) remote control offers the whole set of buttons, times 4 (due to the contextual mode 'PVR / TV / DVD / AUDIO' buttons on top which enables the remote control to operate other devices). At the moment I have used keys like 'Alt + Ctrl + 1', 'Alt + Ctrl + F5', 'Alt + Ctrl + PageUp' and a whole lot more. I rather not want to sacrifice keyboard buttons / combinations. There is a lot to do with this, but I'll be moving on for the time being for a few other promised That does the trick!ĭo you know if there is already a EventGhost plugin for Flirc? I want to know if it's viable to develop a plugin for EventGhost, so I don't have to work with keyboard presses. The IR LED is only like 2mm big. I'm exploring other options but it'll mean a new hardware update/sku. The transmitter in flirc is not the greatest, you'll need line of sight, and it's limited to about 6-8 feet. ![]() It parses the comma delimited list, puts it into a buffer, and calls the api, which can be seen in the SDK here: Īn example of the using the commandline: My commandline utility has been updated to send a command with the output directly from the GUI. The api looks like: flirc_transmit_raw(uint16_t *buf, uint16_t len) Basically with my latest version of software/firmware/device, you can capture the raw signal from a remote, a comma delimited list of edges. The SDK is also published here: I'm missing a windows library, I'll be adding that in the next couple of days. This is a flirc gen2 feature, the feature is done, and I'm doing some final testing on the firmware. ![]()
