:( I received my Uirt 2B 3 days ago, but having problem getting it to work.

Ever since I connected Uirt to the WOL pins, it will turn on by itself every time I shutdown window. I could only shutdown by pressing the power button on my PC. What is happening?

I really have no idea whether my Uirt is working. No matter how I tried to learn IR from my remote, there is virtually no response. This is how I did it: From girder, I add a command; highlight it and choose "plugins"; highlight "Uirt driver"; Choose "setting"; Choose "modify pic pot pin", and set GPIO to "port b2", "pulse" radio button, "pause girder until action/transmission is finished" radio button. Follow by "pic config" and program slot 1. When I try to learn, there is no response on the progress status bar no matter how I press my remote. Have I done correctly or my receiver had fried?

I don't know how to use the test program. But I noticed that when I set the COM port to 2 under girder, girder will load with no error message. However the test program will indicate at bottom, "unble to open port". The message disappear will I set it to COM1 instead of COM2 in Girder. What's is wrong here?

Plse help by pointing me to the right direction. Thanks in anticipation.

:D

After many tries, my Uirt2B is able to learn IR code. The problem earlier on was due to poor contact between the stereo jack and the Uirt2B.

My next steps are: to program Uirt to send IR signal via the emitter and
to turn on the computer using my remote control.
