Serial IR transmitter

[stefan]

Nope, I gave up and bought an usb-uirt =) Worked right away. That said, I never did try my blaster under linux, so it might well have been something wrong with it altogether. Or something I did wrong...

I have a pretty basic serial port IR blaster that I was using under Linux (with mythv and LIRC) for a long time, but have since moved into the Windows world. I've tried WinLIRC for it, and it sometimes works.. sometimes doesn't. Is there any other software that would work for this device?

I had a similar device running for some time under Girder.
The older versions are available for free (3.2.9, IIRC), you'll need the IGOR-Plugin as well.

so long,

iwan.

I'll try posting in their forums, that's a good idea.. thanks.

I used it successfully using winlirc with my serial port IR TX with my PVR250. When I got the PVR150 with integrated IR TX I had no requirement to continue using the serial port TX.
