USB Infrared Toy / getting started....
I'm just a simple vb.net programmer who was looking for a less expensive alternative to the expensive USB-IRT, or TIRA currently
on the market. In my mind I picture plugging the toy into a USB port on my computer, shooting beams from my remote control at it,
using my own program to store those codes in a database, and playing them back from the toy later from my PC to control various equipment.
I thought I had what I needed with the Toy, but now I am not so sure. Do I need additional equipment for the scenario I described? (I know the thing needs a case -- even that is more complicated than I ever imagined.)
Also, somehow I will have to integrate the code supplied into a vb.net class. Has anyone already done this?
I appreciate any feedback you guys can provide. Thanks in advance for your help.
