Usage with Girger
To use the USB-UIRT with Girder go throught the following steps, if anything
is unclear please do read the Girder manual.
Receiving IR events
- Install the drivers
- Plug the USB-UIRT into the computer
- Enable the USB-UIRT plugin in Girder
Your USB-UIRT should be receiving IR Signals. Point a remote at the USB-UIRT and see
if the Girder activity light (lower left hand corner) flashes yellow.
Note: To assign an event to an action the easiest is to simply drag an
event from the log window to the action you intend to trigger with that
action.
Sending IR signals
To send out an IR signal we'll need to take several steps.
- Create or Open a GML (make sure you have a GML open and a folder created.).
- In the action list on the left handside find USB-UIRT and drag the "USB-UIRT action"
to the newly created folder/group.
- In the dialog that comes up hit 'Learn IR code'.
- Now press the button on the remote while holding it close to the front of the USB-UIRT.
- The newly learned code should appear in the action dialog.
- Hit F5 to test it!
Passthrough functionality for NetRemote
You can also configure Girder to use the USB-UIRT as the IR passthrough device. This means that when you hit a
button inside NetRemote this event travels over the Wireless or Wired network into Girder and Girder passes the
IR code onto the USB-UIRT which turns it into IR and can then control a TV or other IR controlled device.
