Thread: Combined remote / Qwerty keyboard Girder code.

The serial port most likely is the source of power. I believe one pin (can't remember which) is always pulled high to 12V. Of course there is a ground, so you've got yourself a power supply (a low power one though).

What setting did you change?

What was the problem?

I have mine running, but haven't really tested it.

Its nice to see the remote has been usefull Nemisis...

Has anyone successfully gotten this remote working with Media Engine v2.1? I'm wondering if I'm going to have to run Girder along with Media Engine to get past some of the goofiness of the remote itself.

Thanks,

Eeeeck - Its that old Scooby and the team should investigate....

I got my On Digital remote/keboard/mouse working thanks to this thread and google. Thanks for the useful info and the .GML file. Although its the same remote, my serial interface wires were a little different. Not 5 but six wires, and connected to the 9-pin Serial Adapter in a different order than the .pdf file in this thread. (lots of trial and error)
The IR receiver also requires external power. (Thanks to this thtread I did'nt waste time messing with an unpowered receiver..lol)
It took me a week to get it right. Messing with both the Remote and Girder off and on for about a hour or three each day snd searching for info. I also learned how to build my own IR receiver messing with "Google" so much.
The only thing left for me to do is splice the IR receiver ps wire where the barrel plug for the ps connects to, and hopefully get the opus or the cars battery to power the IR receiver. I know I'll want some help with that soon, so I don't blow up anything.

I highly recomend this gadget! It's a keyboard/mouse/remote all in one and in a small size. It's very accurate and fast. It keeps up with my input with no problem. It writes the data as fast as I can type it. The mouse works well too!! The range is also superior.
I originally found out about this keboard/mouse here:

A helpfull app to check your serial/com ports connection. This was a key part helping me getting the receiver to work. It detects com port activity. With this you can manually open and close com ports thats not in use and watch port activity!
