Thread: Combined remote / Qwerty keyboard Girder code.

I see he still has over 100 of these available:

he lists 2. one for 7.99 and one for 9.99.
the latter comes with an ir receiver.

hello all,

I've been tryin to get my receiver working with no success.

I followed the instructions posted in this group, and i still had 1 wire left, a red wire, I tried it anyway and nothing.

so were the cable splits to join the powersupply, i split it, and all the wires snapped off

and now I have more colours! .

anyway, could someone psooibly do me a massive favour...
tell me what colour wires, relate to what pin number from the on digital IR receiver.

In my receiver:
I have 7 Pins.

1 brown
2 red Think this is Positive Volts
3 blue
4 green Think this is Negative Volts
5 yellow
6 pink
7 white

So if somebody can do a continuity test, between the Serial Port plug, and the Receiver that would be gr8.

Or if someone can tell me how I can work it out for my self (user "snmnetwork" managed it) I would be ever so greatful.

many thanks

yeahhh I diddit!!!
and it works without power adaptor!

if you cut off the power adaptor conenctor, the wiring is as follows:

Colour Pin number
browny pink.............2
yellow.............3
white.............5
blue.............7
dark brown.............8
orange.............not connected
red.............not connected
green.............not connected

* isolate un connected wires.

The above wiring works **without** the 12v power adaptor, I've modified 2 units both work without.

however, should your receiver need power, the red is +12v and green is -12v.

hope this infomation is of some use to people.

What version of Girder is required? I have 3.2 and the GML file does not work properly, was it created on a later version?

So is it worth picking one of these up? With the tweaks, do they work well?

Nobody? (Waah!! Waaaahhh!!!)

I finally got to test out my remote, but ran into some problems after getting all the way to Girder. I used the wiring diagram to put a female plug on the end using the pdf file created by Nemisis. I tested the remote and port out, and got good results. I didn't have to power it up either. In serial watcher, it shows a different code for each button while I have the button down, but has a different value when I let it go.

But when I go to girder, and try to set an event, it says every button is the same value. I have played with the serial port settings in Girder, and also changed the code on the remote, but the results have been the same. Is there any specific setting for the remote, like the specific code for the remote, or in the settings part of girder for the serial plugin.
Thanks for the help, I want this thing to work.

Another thing, using one of the codes, I believe 200, all the buttons on the remote, including the keyboard and the top buttons worked with the single serial port except for the volume and channel controls.

has anyone got theirs to work using a serial>usb adapter?

thanks.
