Opie-Remote Usage Instructions

Introduction

Opie-Remote allows you to learn the signals from infra-red remotes (for your TV, VCR, DVD player, etc.) and then set up a multi-function remote to control many different devices at once from your handheld.

Each button on a Remote Layout (as seen on the main Remote tab) can be mapped to any button in a real remote. This way you can have, for example, a VCR remote layout, in which all the play, pause, etc. buttons are mapped to the buttons on your VCR's remote. However, most VCRs don't have volume controls, so the volume buttons can be mapped to the volume buttons on your TV.

Requirements

Opie-Remote requires LIRC, a handheld with supported infra-red hardware, and an appropriate LIRC driver. Your distribution should hopefully have ensured that LIRC and an appropriate driver have been installed along with this program.

Note that currently Opie-Remote has only been tested on an iPAQ h3800 series handheld.

Setup

First, you will need to record the signals from a real remote into Opie-Remote. Go to the Learn tab, tap Add and follow the instructions.

Secondly you need to create a remote layout. Go to the Config tab, and enter a name for your remote layout in the pulldown menu, then tap New. Then, press each button that you want to map, and a dialog should appear. Select the remote and button that you want to use, and tap OK. Once you are done, go to the Remote tab, and select the new remote from the dropdown menu.
