Can Excel be designed to operate as a TV remote control ?
Is it possible (easy) to develop macros that operate TV & DVD units remotely.
ie. can I use my PC as an IR remote control via. Excel. If so how or is it too hard and other software is available .... it is for PDA's. Does PDA software work on PC's also ? |

Possibly difficult via Excel, but I'd think of hooking a LED onto the serial port. This can be configured fot quite high baud rates. Put tv remote baud rate code into Google, a lot there on RC projects, including PDA's. I mentioned the serial port because within reason the seral port can drive LED's, and there are LED based serial port data indicators, plus there are many utilities that can access the serial port. |
