I'd like to get some opinions / advice on IR solutions. Here's the scenario:
New to PC Infared solutions. Need some sort of IR blaster controllable by Girder or similar app. Want to control external components (DirecTV, DVD, etc). Don't need multi-zone.
I've looked at the RedRat2, UIRT2, Slink-e, and Ocelot. The RedRat2 looks like what I need, but I couldn't find any info on "current" Girder support. The UIRT2 looks good, but I'm not sure about the work involved. Do the assembled units come completely assembled. I keed reading about soldering emitters and receivers and have no experience with this. Price is an issue with the Slink-e. If I could possibly find a used one, that may be the best solution.
Well, thanks for letting me ramble. Any thoughts, ideas, opinions are welcome.
Thanks,
Paul
