Will this IRDA reciever work with girder...

Would I be able to use a normal Universal remote with this IRDA reciever to control applications on my PC via Girder?

No. IRDA and infrared remotes operate on different frequencies.

1- IrDA and consumer remote don't use the same frequency
2- IrDA and girder don't go well together

you better build your own IR receiver.

give a look at this guide

and more precisely the section about building the receiver

hope that helps.

IRAssistant supports IRda recievers. I am using it with a Jeteye reciever and a General Instrument universal remote. It's fussy to get working, but not impossible. Plus my reciever was only 9 bucks CAD.
