What is SimpleRemote? |
|
SimpleRemote is a combination of a circuit and
software, used to emulate IR remote controls by a PC. The difference between
SimpleRemote and other PC-IR remote control
projects is the simplicity of its circuit.
Other PC-IR projects use a relatively-complex circuit, and simple software
to control it.
SimpleRemote uses a more
complex software, and an ultra-simple circuit.
That's why the SimpleRemote circuit is
so simple to build.

What can I do with SimpleRemote? |
|
Because it enables you to emulate IR remote controls, you can use it to:
- Control your stereo/TV/VCR/any other device as if it were a universal
remote.
- Control IR-devices (VCR, DVD...) with home-automation scripts (e.g.,
dim lights + play DVD)
- Title your MDs automatically
- Have your PVR software change channels on your cable/satellite box
- Many other possiblities...
SimpleRemote hardware circuit currnetly exists
only for serial (RS-232) communications port.
API is available in C/C++ (Windows/Linux), as a DLL (Windows), as
VB module (Windows), and as a Java package
(Windows/Linux).

Where do I begin? |
|
- If you want to build the circuit, go to the
Hardware page.
- To download software for SimpleRemote,
go to the IR Projects page.
- If you already built the SimpleRemote
hardware and downloaded the software, and you need remote codes for your
remote control, go to Remotes page.
- To program IR applications using the
SimpleRemote toolkit, go to the
SDK page.
- Read the discussions and post your questions and comments at the
Forums.
