  2. A stand alone BLASTER?

    in Remote Controls

    Posted

    Obviously FLIRC makes it easy to be flexable with an IR remote control.  Its a great solution.

     

    But many computers also need an IR emitter (aka transmitter, aka BLASTER) to work at controlling cable boxes and other items on your computer and HDTV system.   

     

    What are the best suggestions for an IR blaster?

     

  3. Plasma HDTV and the FLIRC - any issues

    in Remote Controls

    Posted

    So if you do any work or reading about how PLASMA HDTV can interfear (mess up) infrared you might find out that something called FLOOD happens.  Basically the IR receiver is blinded by the light from your Plasma tv.   has their been any discussion about how to make sure that does not happen? 

     

     

    Via positioning, or via window tint maybe?

     

  4. [GUIDE] getting Flirc to work with OUYA

    in How To

    Posted

    http://blog.flirc.tv/one-more-thing-weve-got-an-xbmc-plugin/ has instructions on the location of the plugin for OUYA, which if you know XBMC you can load as a PLUGIN source, and then install. 

     

    The issue is that this assumes you are using the FLIRC factory firmware (not the BETA testing latest release firmware).  

     

    1)  XBMC has to have a plugin for OUYA to use the FLIRC (as above).  Only works with the factory FIRMWARE on the FLIRC so be careful about this.  Other firmware will disable the XBMC driver for OUYA and FLIRC. 

    2)  There are known issues with MCE remotes (which is what you will use to control FLIRC typically).  Read about the issues here, and consider them in your pursuit to get FLIRC working.  You might find it not fun to do.

     

     

    ************

     

    You will have issues.  Recommend to just root your OUYA and install the android keyboard drivers.  Then program the FLIRC to work with the remote controls cross mapped to the ANDROID keyboard. 

  5. RCA RCRP05BR remote - cheapest

    in Remote Controls

    Posted

    Just want to mention after some research am finding the RCRP05BR remote by RCA as the least expensive full function remote.  It is a learning remote and it can be used to with a cable to be programmed (forget those cables names, but they are a standard).

     

    Can be found at all Walmarts for $15 or if you order via Amazon less than $10.

     

    have not used it with my FLIRC but expect no issues.  Everything else is so much more expensive.
