Help with girder and serial IR reciever

SuperFastCVT · 07-21-2005, 04:35 PM

OK, so i made my own serial IR reciever device:
Picture1
Picture2
Picture3
Picture4

And it is functioning for the most part. My computer recognizes the raw codes and i am able to program the functions of different buttons into girder.

My problem is that when I press the button to tell it to do something, my computer auto shutsdown or i get a windows error message saying girder has to close.

For example, i program a button to go "up", then i go into IE or itunes and press the button, and i see the window go up like its supposed to. However right after that i will either get a windows error message saying girder has to close, or sometimes it just shuts down.

im runnning version 3.2 with Igor's plugin.

Thanks,
Evan

Does it shut down when you press the button w/o girder running?
I've messed up a serial port circuit before which caused my computer to shut down, but it was instant - no software problems appeared. So I would *guess* that the command you're using in Girder is causing problems. Try changing the command to something simple, or not binding it to anything at all.

Oh - that a hella-big circuit board, dude! I wired up almost an identical thing (same parts) in a 9-pin d-sub.
