[dopey]

Have been searching for ages with no joy, does anyone know of any software that can use my laptops IR receiver and display the results as an oscilloscope.

Many thanks in advance,

Dopey I am totally with you!!

I have been looking for a way to interface my laptop's IR reciever. HOWEVER there is a catch. Newer models do not allow you to do that, these IR are also known as CIR! or Consumer Infrared. Used mainly for Micro$hit OEM products like Medea Center and stuff. Basically it will be illegal for you to use for anything else.

But the older models might have a way to interface. Please remember if you ask a question dont be lazy, give me each and evrything about your laptop,

what does the IRr look like?
Is there a remote?
Which company/model laptop?
What OS?
What did you find online till now???

EVERYTHING!! If this comes through it will be an awesome project. I tried to reverse engineer the IR port but found just 2 files related to it. Ill post them later since they are on my laptop.
