WinLIRC commands (use from a terminal to manually control & create file based 'm

October 17, 2010, 12:22:25 pm

I have added a section WinLIRC commands (use from a terminal to manually control & create file based 'macros'.) to the documentation page USB IR Toy: Configure WinLIRC at http://dangerousprototypes.com/docs/USB_IR_Toy:_Configure_WinLIRC

This describes the commands that can be used to control WinLIRC and enable manual control of IRToy, or simple macros.

Hopefully others can contribute to more commands. For example LIST returns the list of remote controls, but can you get the list of actions/buttons for each remote? The LIRC plugin in EvenGhost can do this!

Also if someone can tell me how to upload pictures, I can add some example screenshots to the page.

Looks nice, thank you. To add an image, put in an image link and then click on it. For example:

[[image:mypicture_001.png|250px]]

The 250px sizes it, but is optional.

try this version of winlirc (if the link works). I'll release this properly sometime in the future.

should solve all the transmit problems with eventghost etc. The original server code had a load of showstopper bugs

Edit:
Forgot to add you can just use SEND_ONCE now, there is no need for a password, but it'll still work if you set one. The default is for local host only connections, so security is not such an issue anymore.

I have now uploaded some screen shots to the page - thanks Ian for the tips.

Dukey - Thanks updating and fixing WinLIRC. I have waaaaay to many activities/projects underway, so I wait and will look at the changes when you release the next version, or test/beta version via sourceforge.
