Help I feel stupid and frustrated...ANYONE??

[Ron]

I think 3.0.23 accidentally shipped without the ast driver. Try Girder 3.0.24.

[Ron]

action tab,.. in the settings window :grin:

[Ron]

Feel free to tell the world :smile: Hearing what is done with girder is always fun.

[Ron]

:grin: Yeah have a little patience with my helpfile. It's not the best but there is a lot of good getting started information in there.

(except that I don't get a settings option within File/settings/hardware plugins)

restart program- boots in to the task bar fine, but I push all the buttons and no joy-- can anyone help??

ahha It's OK I was being stupid, wrong com port... wierd

So I can use it as a mouse now any tips on how to get the other funtions to work?

[Dreamshadow]

Yeah- thats OK I already downloaded the AST driver and installed it- I am now getting to grips with it- Hello everyone I'm a newbie please cut the proverbial slack :wink:

OK now In help I'm being told to click the actions tab... um which tab! I only seem to have like keyboard, commands, OS etc??!?

[Dreamshadow]

AAAhhh thanks :smile: if you're interested- I am embarking on an IR remote control project, wanna hear about it?

[Dreamshadow]

Ok I'm basically redesigning the handset of this remote to coincide with the reciever.

I am replacing the mouse pad with an analogue, and replacing all the buttons with a digital joystick.

I will try to integrate a cycle button(through a PIC micro processor) to provide new IR commands to the dig. joystick (I don't know how yet though!) with an LCD screen (16x2) so each time the cycle button is pressed the new commands show on the screen, corresponding to the button press!

OK! now I'm in the help trying to sussout how to configure commands and stuff-- and it says:
"· Select the ‘Start’ (first) command and set the command option to execute, and browse to the winamp filename. (press apply afterwards!)"

Thats great--but how do you set the command option to execute!

am I going about the help file in the wrong order? should I just follow it chronologically to get results, or am I being a doofus?

[Dreamshadow]

AAhh option-- like command tab style D'OH :roll: sorry I'm figuring it out- I'll stop asking stoopid questions now

Absolutedly dude- you wrote the whole thing eh? nice one!
