Hi guys,
I've got Dharma set up and running nicely...
I primarily use the official Android App to control it from my mobile - but obviously that isnt much good for m GF when I (and my phone) arent at home!
Whilst looking for my soldering iron in the attic last night, I came across a serial iR receiver I bought some time ago for remote controlling my PC via assigning macro's / codes to key presses in some app (gIRDer if memory serves).
Can I do simmilar with XBMC - connect the serial iR, dig out some old remote, then use Girder etc to control XBMC?
Are there codes etc already made for Girder (or what ever iR apps best at the moment)?
BTW - I might see if I can find one of my old Xbox 1 remotes, like the way it matches the App!
Also, any chance an Xbox2 controller is iR - will this connect via iR?
Thanks,
