1 | opie-remote | ||
2 | |||
3 | Opie-remote is a remote control emulator for the Compaq iPaq and the Sharp | ||
4 | Zaurus. It requires lirc (http://www.lirc.org) to run. There are lirc ipkgs | ||
5 | for the iPaq in the Handhelds.org feed. You must first install the | ||
6 | lirc-modules-[kernel version] ipkg, and then the lirc ipkg with the | ||
7 | -force-depends option. The Zaurus is supported, but requires you to compile | ||
8 | from lirc's CVS. Zaurus support should be in lirc 0.6.6 and up. Check the learn | ||
9 | tab in opie-remote for more detailed configuration and usage instructions. | ||
10 | |||
11 | I will talk to the Open Zaurus people about providing an lirc ipkg for the | ||
12 | Zaurus, but i cant make one, as i dont have a Zaurus, and cannot test it. | ||
13 | |||
14 | todo: | ||
15 | add a frontend for irrecord (to make it a true learning remote) | ||
16 | make the UI completely user configurable (button layout, position, etc) | ||
17 | ButtonDialog needs to support default remote and button settings, so what the | ||
18 | button is already set to shows up. | ||
19 | fix any bugs | ||
