Dual Serial Input for Infrared control?

[Rod Speed]

I just don't understand why they can't simply carry on a technical
discussion without vomiting a continuous stream of filth.

We know why clones like you are so
obsessed about what you claim is 'filth'.

Seems such a simple matter to just present the
evidence and let the world court of USENET decide.

usenet aint anything like a court, fuckwit.

Honestly, that wasn't the intent.

Absolutely agreed. I have now killfiled clockmeister and note Anthony your
kind modification of his completely unnecessary fword. IMO this newsgroup is
ruined by people who, otherwise no doubt (and indeed sometimes obviously)
knowledgable, cannot express themselves without f*ing away. This ng is read
by children who should not exposed all the time to it, and by others who
would like to keep to the subject...

Pathetic, really.

You've got silly hangups about perfectly good anglo saxon words ?

YOUR problem.

So stupid that it hasnt even noticed that they use it more than most.

who should not exposed all the time to it,

You get no say what so ever on that or anything else at all, ever.

and by others who would like to keep to the subject...

Can't even manage a viable sentence.

Hardly obsessed,

Corse you are, you're the one mindlessly rabbiting on about it.

but it does say allot about your intelligence
and your ability to express yourself.

Usual utterly mindless line you clowns always trot out.

I can't help wondering that with more than 400,000
words in the English language, why you try to
describe everything using less than fifty.

Lying now, as you clowns always do when you
get called on your pathetic excuse for bullshit.

My cats make themselves better understood than you.

Any 2 year old has a better line in insults than that pathetic effort.

Get one to help you before posting again, if someone
is actually stupid enough to let you anywhere near one.

To get back to the point, this is exactly the kind of thing
that I'm talking about. You make a blanket statement
claiming to know something, but you don't bother to
back it up with anything resembling evidence.

Lying, again. I rubbed your nose in the FACT that some
of those IR remotes have a PIC in them and use the normal
RX and TX lines, you pathetic excuse for a bullshit artist.

OTOH, if bullying and pejorative statements were
the way to make a case, you'd be the man.

Corse you never ever do anything like that yourself, eh liar ?

We are all still waiting

Lying, as always. How many of you are there between those ears, liar ?

I usually don't criticize other peoples tinkerings,
but I'll make an exception in this case.

What a fucking wanker.

To put it bluntly, you did your PIC project all wrong.

We'll see...

Because you chose to communicate serially to the PC
(using TXD); you either severely limited the number of
remote control transmitters that your circuit would work with,

Thanks for that completely superfluous proof that you have
never ever had a fucking clue about anything at all, ever.

or you greatly complicated the software in the PIC.

How odd that its remarkably simple. You cant actually manage
something as basic as that ? YOUR problem, fuckwit child.

The massive advantage of doing that stuff in the PIC
is that the timing isnt critical in the PC, fuckwit child.

RECS 80, RC5 and some other odd-balls out there aren't even remotely
similar to each other, not to mention how some manufacturers take what
little bit of "standards" that do exist and then mangle them up just because.

Still completely trivial to handle if you do actually have a clue.

This is why LIRC and most likely all other remote-control
IR interfaces that connect to a PC use simple hardware

Guess which pathetic little pig ignorant clown has just get egg all
over it pathetic little face very spectacularly indeed, all over again ?

(like the schematic I provided) and complex software on
the PC. The reasoning is simple, it's allot easier to field
upgrade PC software than to re-flash a PIC.

No need to reflash the PIC if the protocol over the RX
and TX lines is designed properly in the first place, child.

The PIC looks after the timing and the protocol just communicates
the timing detail thats seen on the IR signal and all the PC software
needs to do is to use that timing info thats in the serial stream, child.

See....not a curse word in the lot

You're actually stupid enough to care about norty words ? YOUR problem.

but I bet your smokin' right about now.

Get which pathetic little pig ignorant prat has just
get egg all over its pathetic little face, yet again ?

Anthony, you're so right. All this person can do is f* or press his
predefined short-cut key that says '***wrong -- as always...' or somesuch.
You're putting him in his place technically. But I protest: couldn't you
have edited his post when replying (as I have) so that you didn't quote and
thus perpetuate his filth? I've killfiled him just to remove this rubbish,
and to see it secondhand is a shame. By the way, the killfiling was
reluctant, because I thought he actually had technical sense to talk; your
debunking here has made me think twice about that too! I never could fathom
why someone with knowledge would find recourse to foul language so
apparently necessary; now I know I was wrong about the knowledge.

Only in your pathetic little drug crazed pig ignorant fantasyland.

He's so hyped up that he can't even manage that.

Fat lot of good that will do you, fuckwit.

You could always do the decent thing and top yourself or sumfin.

Not a shred of evidence that you are actually capable of thought.

ROTFLMAO! Have you heard children talking these days? It's old
fogies like *me*, not *them*, who feel uncomfortable when "f words"
etc. are bandied around in conversation. I suspect you must fall into
my category.

and by others who would like to keep to the subject...

Yeah. That does seem reasonable enough -- if somewhat optimistic in
the modern version of USENET. It's amazing to think that as little as
15 years ago we were all happy to broadcast our snail mail addresses,
and even phone numbers, in our dot sigs. Now it's only Rod and a few
others who even game enough to use their real names.

Cheers, Phred.

Hi all

Thought i should supply a bit more info, sorry for the silence, been
working steady the last week or so.

The infrared sensor I use is one of the Packard Bell Fast media Remotes,
not sure what's inside them. I don't know much (stuff all really) about
electronics, so a lot of the comments here went over my head.

The software for the remote is called Dosgir, this is just a little TSR
program that converts the signals into keystrokes, any remote can be
trained to input commands. My mp3 software is called mpxplay, a
brilliant little dos mp3 player that is controlled by keyboard, mouse or
joystick. so the remotes work well for song change, pause, volume etc.

because dosgir is configured to watch just one serial port I can't just
add another port, so thats the reason for 2 sensors on one port.

The computer is located in the shed under a window and I just want
control from just outside that window near the pool, but using the
remote thru the window is out, as the are blacked out for the home
theatre setup in the shed. so I don't need to run a cable very far.

If it's not possible to double them up, i'm thinking of just setting up
a button on the remote to run a small batch file to unload dosgir and
then reload it using a different port, this should work ok just not as
pretty as having 2 sensors working at once.

one other thing I was thinking of was a splitter box with switch to
select a different sensor while both are on the same port, anybody see
any problems with that ? would a simple switch do the job if it has
enough poles for the sensor, or would I need a proper switch box?
I've got a old parallel one laying around somewhere, so i might see if i
can hunt up a serial one. not sure if this will upset the software, but
I can try just by pulling the sensor plug out and plugging it back in to
see what happens anyway.

cheers
