Packard Bell Remote

[Younes]

I want to know if anyone has used Grider successfully with PB remotes.

I have noticed that Girder supports more remotes that those that are listed on the features page. I would suggest you try some of the listed plugins with varying parameters and it might just work!

If so let me know so i can put that up.

Kind regards,
Ron

Finally I managed to use Girder with PB remote, I used WinLirc combined with Grider WinLirc plugin. Now I'm exploring it's features:)

BTW I couldn't connect to the specific url you mentioned Ronb

Hmm yes it seems as if that link died, strange it worked a few hours ago.

Oh well you got it to work that is the important part!

If anyone got the Packard Bell remote to work can you save your settings and send them to me??? I am completely confused as to how to get it to work...

Hi all,
this is my first post here so i would like to thank the Author & the plugins creators for this great program...

I first D/L Girder 5 days ago so I'm still a newbee regardin Girder but i can share my experience with the Packard Bell Fast Media Remote:

1. D/L Girder & extract to your desired location
2. D/L Igor SFH56-device v0.99 (latest as of today), unzip to PluginsHardware
3. Close & ReOpen Girder, goto File-> Settings-> Hardware PlugIns, now check the Igor plugin checkbox & press the Settings button on the left. now you need 2 things:
First, select Com Port (Com1, Com2...)
Second, Change "Input Signal" to "DCD"
4. Good Luck...

I hope it help all of those new PB FastMedia users floating around here :smile:
Cheers

It is also a good idea to reduce the priority level of the plugin (settings of Igor's plugin -> advanced) to 6. Windows XP will crash after a while if it is set at 7. May or may not affect other versions of Windows.
