- Universal Remote controller
- for any *fast* Amiga
- (e.g. 3000, 2500, etc.)
- By
- Jamie Mueller
-
- If you have build the circuitry up properly, the program UniversalRemote
- should allow you to record and play back Infa-Red remote control signals to
- let you control VCR's, TV's, Stereo's, etc.
-
- Please Note: These programs A) will only work on Amiga's fast enough to
- digitize the remote being used (my Amiga 500 is useless with this), and B)
- the files created will only work on the machine that digitized them, or an
- *EXACT* duplicate machine (e.g. files should be interchangeable between two
- 25MHz 3000's with the same CPU settings--a timing thing).
-
- The program universalremote will let you create/record/playback/save the
- codes for remote controls. Use this one to build your 'library' of
- controls.
-
- The program urrexx is an AREXX interface to the control. Running urrexx
- once 'installs' it, running urrexx a second time 'uninstalls' it. To access
- urrexx in AREXX use 'address UR.REXX' and the two commands: load & play.
- Give load a file name (such as 'load JVC_VCR' etc.), and give play the
- name of the function to send to the VCR/TV/etc. (such as 'play power').
- Case is not important with urrexx, but remember to name the functions
- uniquely with universalremote. You can test urrexx by putting it all in
- one line:
-
- 2> rx 'address ur.rexx load vcr' and
- 2> rx 'address ur.rexx play power' etc.

- If you have any questions I can be reached on GEnie as J.L.MUELLER.
