universal remote control through computers
Hello Mate,
I am doing my final year project, in which i need to construct a Universal Remote Control fro TV.
The controller will be controlled by the computer. The computer will send the appropriate signal through Serial / Parallel port to the IR transmitter device and the IR of the transmitter will send the signal to the TV.
I want to know how can i construct such device. I guess it should be very simple, like one IR diode, some resistor and the wire to connect to the PC port. But i need some advice on it....
My main question is how can i send such signals?...how to start the coding? Can i simply write a C++ program that activates the serial port and send the signals? or is there any simpler way?
Can any one guide me in correct direction?
Thanx in Adv.....
