Hi guys (and gals),

I apologize in advance if this post is inappropriate or anything, but I thought somebody might actually like this, and I though this was an excellent venue to spread the word.

I've been developing a suite of programs to use with the USB-UIRT device. Currently It's a suite of five applications, a manager to learn and manage codes, a remote control layout designer, a remote control GUI application to use those layouts, A socket server application which enables the GUI application to send IR codes via network and last but not least, an HTTP Server which turns any browser into a remote control. I'm actually using my iPod touch as a remote control right now, it's really nifty using the touch screen and all :)

Anyways, I've set up a dedicated website for this pet project of mine, you can read everything about it and get a free copy to try if you'd like. I'd also appreciate any feedback you might have.

The URL to the website is http://rc.hot.is/

Hope someone can make use of this :)

Hi,

Sorry for bringing such an old thread back from the dead :-)

Just wanted to let you guys know that I've posted a new version of the software which includes support for the Microsoft MCE IR-blaster. Hopefully that makes it possible for more people to use this software

Thought it would be OK to post a note of it here.

Looks great. One question, it looks like your interface is designed for a touchscreen/mouse input. Can it take IR as an input to fire off other IR signals? I'm looking for a solution to use a PC as a simple IR repeater IR in via MCE receiver (or serial IRmon) and IR out in another room to devieces via MCE IR blasters. If your software can't take IR but can take keystrokes as inputs I could use girder and your software to accomplish that I think.

nice software, thanks for the post.

I just download the software, but when I run the RemoteControl.exe, it pop a box saying "Could not start IR driver", then it crash after I click ok for that dialog.

I'm sure my MCE IR is working as I'm using it to control my vista media center. Could that be the software not working under vista?

If you're using Vista, have you tried forcing the software to run in compatibility mode to rule out possible problems? This sometimes helps.
