Thread: Combined remote / Qwerty keyboard Girder code.

CC- you might want to try using some of the premade map found in this thread. Let us know how it goes.

hey guys,

i installed the remote on my new setup and used a serial>usb converter.

when i press a button on the QWERTY, girder is blinking telling me that i'm pressing a button but nothing happens.

i'm using 3.29 and the univ serial driver, keyboard, and keyboard ex driver.

has anyone else had this problem and what did you do to fix it?

thanks,
john

edit: nm i got it working.. i was using the wrong univ serial driver.

HELLO
I HAVE the DIGITAL ON and I WANT TO PUT I CODE to HIM FOR MY TV SONY, ON and SELECT BY 4 SECONDS, small change and KEY IN 907, BUT DOES NOT WORK WHAT I AM MAKING BAD?
THANKS

well i had 1 of the ondigital remotes that i kept in my loft when they became "offdigital"
i brought myself a female to female extension cable and wired the pins up on the original cable as per the pdf from this thread i ignored the 6th wire and powered it up and when i went to the see what was happening at the comport thru "terminal v1.9b" i could see different codes for every keyboard button allthough they didnt match all of the ones in the file i assumed this was because i had not set the remote to the right setting but at least i was getting something thru!!

okay i thought lets see what happens when i go into girder .
this is where the problem lies as i just cant seem to see anything atall in girder in version 3.xx or 4.xx

can anybody give me advice i am not exactly dumb but i fear i have been on this occasion.

what settings do i need in girder and which version is the best to use for this.

i have not one clue which plugin to use all i know is that my serial port is set up correctly and i have 2 files that are both from this forum the jared file and the public file should these load the plugins automatically please help me as i am starting to pull my hair out with this now!!!!

Try the Generic Serial Plugin on girders page

thanks for that i can now get girder to see the codes that are being transmitted they show up on the bottom but there is a starnge thing they all seem to have an extra bit on the end? (co826)

i am sure that after a bit of playing around i will cure this but this is probably me being extremely dumb...

when i have girder fully recognising what i am sending to it how then do i get it so that it shows up on my pc as a keyboard?

i apologise if this is really stupid but i guessthat means i probably am!!!

but i do drive a volvo

Does anyone know where I can buy Girder 3 or get a code rather than buy Girder 4 as it seems far more complex to use than 3 and far slower.

Any advice would be very welcome.

Thanks.

Luke

ok i have got girder to recognise every code as it should be according to the gdl file from nemesis .
i then used the keyboard settings and managed to get it so my keyboard button presses were ignored but now i how do i get it so that my remote will work as a keyboard i tried to set up events , run in foreground etc but it just is not doing anythiing .
i have searched around the forums (here and promixis) but cant get the info i need and amd kind of struggling does anybody have any info on how they got the thing to work?
i am using centrefuse as my front end and really like it too but not having a keyboard is beginning to annoy me

I'm looking for "Generic serial based IR Receiver" plugin for Girder. I've looked everywhere on google and all the dl links refer to Girders site which they don't have it posted anymore. Thanks...
