jazzyj Posted February 2, 2021 Report Share Posted February 2, 2021 Hi All, I just took delivery of my Flirc and after going through the set up, pointed my remote to it (https://www.amazon.es/gp/product/B00PPRROWK/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) and nothing is happening. maybe a little niaive of me, but i decided to buy the Flirc it was on the basis that all remotes work (maybe I overlooked if there was any part paying attention to the frequencies). since I have learnt that the Flirc operates near 38ghz and the remote I have is 2.4ghz. I can send it back, just need to know if there is anything i am doing wrong... thanks in advance Jay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathan Posted February 2, 2021 Report Share Posted February 2, 2021 Hi, it sounds like you are, indeed, using the wrong kind of remote. Flirc works on IR or infrared light. It sounds like you are trying to use a remote that uses RF or radio frequencies. That RF requirement is the reason your remote came with a little USB dongle, so that it could interact with devices. If you have a TV remote or other remote handy, you could try using it with that to see if it works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
