Infrared not working on XDA2 for TV remote controller

I've installed TV remote controller 5.5 from www.pdawin.com but cannot get any of the built in settings ie. SONY TV to controll my equipment. I cannot get the XDA2 to respond to the softwares learn function either. Can anyone please help?
I had this exact same issue. I gave up after 20 minutes. If anyone has any tips on using as a remote, I would also be very interested to know.
well i cant say for xda2 but i had it running on xda1 and the Infrared transmitter is WEAK! the tv would only react if the xda1 were as close as 30cm from the reciever of the tv
so unless the Infrared t ransceiver is much more powerfull then the one in xda1 then even if you find a remote program it's next to useless with such a short range
unless you build something like this
http://www.pdawin.com/irtranceiver.html
I had TV remote working on my previous Dell Axim X5. The IR transmitter was weak too, think it had to be within a metre or so from memory.
I've tried the XDA2 only inches away from the IR sensor on the TV and it still doesn't work, either it is really low powered? or there is a fault somewhere?
This is probably a hardware limitation.
It's possible that the used infrared led's aren't emitting in the standard consumer electronics spectrum.
If this is the case, the XDA II can't be used for remote control applications, unless you replace the IR transmitter (which means opening the case and voiding warranty).
It wont work due to the fact that the Xda II does not have a consumer standard IrDA module on it. A severe limitation of the Xda II as well I feel. A bit of a step backward from the Xda I too.
Grrr. I didnt want it anyway.
its not a hardware problem.... its a software problem...

Yes, XDA2 can not be used for remote control applications!
I wonder why anybody would want to turn this beautiful cutting edge piece of technology into a remote control when a very comprehensive learning remote can be had for about £5.

I've often asked myself the same question I do see people with PDA's creating the odd havoc in TV shops n department stores switching the channels etc.
Really have not wanted to control my TV, aircon or anything else with my XDA II .

well i suppose many people say the same thing with a search replace of remote to phone when they see how much more we pay to get a pda and cellphone in one
Even fully compliant IrDA components are only rated for a transmit distance of 1 meter. Consumer remote controls are much brighter.
Yes and since the cheapest usable tv remote controller with a more powerfull beam can be bought for around 5 dollar... why didn´t they put these ir leds in the mda xda ii?? max difference 1 dollar in large quantities?
With all these remotes laying around on the table (about 8 of them) tv remote on the pocketpc would be very usefull. Learning mode, program what you need or get them from the database on internet. Also the possibility to program macro´s so you press one button to play and watch dvd and power on 5.1 surround system.....
How can the ir leds be tweaked?

the only useful app that ive ever found for any pda to control a pice of equpiment was one for a palm that i had,
the software was called mini-disk titler ,
you just filled in the track names on the screen then tapped on title. the pda then sent the sequence of button presses to title the disk in about 20 seconds , much quicker than faffing with all the menus on the player
ian
well the very brigth remote leds may not be able to transmit data as far as the ir in the xda
about extenders for the ir

Using PPC for wireless or wired mouse on laptop

Is there software out there that will let you use your ppc as a mouse on your laptop? If not would it be possible to do have such an app that could use the touch screen as a mouse? Or better yet, would it be possible to use the camera on the ppc as sort of a laser mouse? Also could it be used over bluetooth and or USB? Then set up parts of the screen as left and right click buttons with a scroll area.
Just a thought.
JD
not laser i think you mean optical mouse
problem is that optical mice have a dieode to give it
light so it can detect the movements
if you just put your phone on the back
all it will photo is darkness
yes, im current use Salling Clicker to control my PC via Wifi, it have some plugins to control WMP, BSPlayer, and the default system controls are mouse (touch the screen to move the cursor), shutdown, restart work great!
good luck
Sorry, yes it is optical. When I was thinking of this I flipped my mouse over and that darn light shot right in my eye. From that point on all I could think about was LASER's LOL. Going to give Salling Clicker a try, looks very promising although it would be cool to be able to use my phone as an OPTICAL mouse using the camera. And your right with the camera flat on a surface all you see is black, but with the flashlight on and the camera raised slightly off the serface you would be able to detect motion.
Still just thinking out loud.

Please use the Wiki. PPCTablet is what you're looking for - see http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=FullTextSearch&s=ppctablet

Not yet - albeit, for the Smartphone platform, there are some attempts to implement this (see http://wiki.xda-developers.com/inde...e news: new betas of SmartToolkit and IM+ etc ). It certainly will be MUCH worse (if it will be implemented at all) than the hardware accelerometer-based solutions (see for example Nokia N95), though.
the PPC wifi or bluetooth mouse would be cool! on the wizard the flash diode could supply the light to the camera. I've wanted this ever since I tried PPCtablet.
I can already use my Wizard as a webcam using coolcam. To be able to use it as a mouse would really rock. the ultimate laptop accessory!

Use Screen as Monitor for PC?

Guys can you use the screen of the nexus for the pc as an external monitor, Not any VNC, splahtop or anything like that I mean natively as an LCD monitor, can you like hot wire the panel to a dvi or hdmi port?
Simple answer: no. Android devices are not made to act as slaves, only masters. What I mean is that you cannot directly connect things to them and use their hardware to extend another device.
For example, you can stream audio via Bluetooth from an Android device to a computer's speakers, but you cannot stream audio from a computer to an Android device's speakers. You can output video from an Android via mini-HDMI to an external source, but you cannot input video from an external source to Android and capture it. You have to use 3rd party software to get around these limitations, such as using Splashtop like you mentioned.
Andy the Android likes to host parties, not be the guests at them.
With the kernel source available, and some "heavy" hacking, you might be able to do something.
Also depending on how the screen is attached to the motherboard, you may be able to directly solder it to a traditional connection like DVI or something.
But there doesn't seem to be an "easy" way to do so sadly :/
I think Removing the panel from the board and attaching it to a little board that converts the signal into dvi and also powers the panel would be possible

I need a way to remote control video recording

Any ideas? I need to be able to start and stop video recording on my lg v20. I am getting soft quality video from the front facing camera so i need to use the primary camera.
I have a hdmi lcd panel and slimport to hdmi on the way but now i wont be able to see and use the phones touch panel any longer.
So i need a way to start and stop video recording.
Ideally be able to switch between wide and narrow sensors as well but lacking that is ok.
I found a bt remote on amazon with dedicated photo and video buttons but it does not work. Only for photos not video.
Suggestions?
Teamviewer or something similar? Wireless mouse?
Screen sharing would be perfect but 3rd party software Solutions are horrible with way too much lag to be useful I already tried wireless mouse doesn't work because there's no way to see the screen to know what I'm clicking on unless... The wireless mouse cursor shows up in the HDMI screen then that might work a little cumbersome but it might work can I plug a USB C Hub and still use the slimport HDMI out? Although I could use a Bluetooth mouse... I will have to try that

Using Windows 10 with Waveshare 5" 7" HDMI screens? Found

Hi,
I build portable hand held Windows 10 computers using stick PCs, a Kangaroo Plus mini PC and attaching them to 5" and 7" HDMI screens. A hand held device being one that can be held in one hand and mouse movement and text input via an on screen keyboard can be entered with the other.
I overlay a resistive touch panel and use USB controllers PenMount PM6300A-8 Controller board or Micro Chip AR1100 boards in digitizer mode. In digitizer these will fill the following touch controls:
1 Touch = equivalent to Left Mouse Click
2 Long Press = equivalent to Right Mouse Button Click
3 When the windows screen is rotated landscape to portrait and vice versa touch activity remains under the stylus and moves as expected.
4 Stylus press and hold for dragging windows and icons around the screen is available.
5 The equivalent to Right Mouse Button Click SHOULD NOT be activated while dragging.
The HDMI screens I use are from Ebay or AliExpress and marketed towards Raspberry PI consumers. They come with a touch panel built on and a touch controller built in.
If it is a capacitive touch panel then I definitely remove it and replace it with a third party resistive touch panel and use an external USB controller. Capacitive finger touch is not fit for the purpose of activating the small menu buttons in desktop software such desk top publishing and graphics manipulation. A resistive touch stylus point control is needed.
I have not been able to get 5" or 7" HDMI screens with a built on resistive touch panels and built in touch controllers to use all the touch controls listed above, that is with the Windows 10 OS. This is annoying because that would enable building a slim compact hand held portable device. Currently the external USB controller boards add depth and bulk. The PenMount board being the worst where it's JST connectors add 10mm to the home build devices height. The Micro Chip AR1100 board is less bulky but a built in controller would still make the screen slimmer and neater.
There are a number of vendors on Ebay and other web sites marketing 5" or 7" HDMI screens with a built on resistive touch panels. Their sales are mainly focused to the Raspberry PI so I assume touch can be configured and work satisfactory with Raspberry PI Linux Operating Systems. The promotional support for working as a monitor for Windows 10 is something like "supports Windows 10/8.1/8/7, single touch, and driver free" The Windows plug and play driver that loads in doesn't always seem to work for me and when it does it doesn't fill the five touch functions above I require.
Help!
Waveshare seem to market a range of 5" and 7" HDMI screens. Some readers may have bought these and have them working with the Raspberry PI and other Linux OS devices. They could have not had reason to try and test touch functions fully with Windows 10. If there are readers who have bought Waveshare HDMI screens with built in resistive touch controllers and could plug them into a Windows 10 computer as single monitor, or as a second primary monitor to test touch I would be grateful. I need to know if the all the five functions above will work with any of them.
Thanks in advance albertstc01

Notes:
My experience with Windows 10 resistive touch so far might be of interest.
PenMount and Micro Chip AR1100 boards can be configured as HID mouse or digitizer mode. If configured for digitizer mode when booting with Windows 10 the control panel 'Tablet PC Settings' with 'Pen And Touch' are available. It is the same for Windows 10 Settings. If the choice for HID mouse mode is used the tablet setting won't be installed or be available in Windows 10.
Of the two control boards my preference is for PenMount as its supporting software for Windows 10 will configure the touch controller for calibration. The AR1100 firmware utility does not work with Windows 10. The screen needs to be transfered temporally to a Windows 7 computer. The AR1100 utility does present itself in Windows 10 and show configuration tables but when entries are made, example for digitizer mode, and set, from then on the utility reports no EPROM found. It can be reset in Windows 7.
Adafruit sell a 5" 'backpacker' HDMI screen with built in resistive AR1100 FPC touch controller. Out of the box this screen's touch controller worked as a HID mouse but there was no long press function for equivalent right mouse click. I tried using AR1100 utility software with Windows 10 to change it to digitizer mode. As above after the first attempt the utility software always reported no EPROM found. I wrecked it by opening it up and damaging some circuitry. This was before I knew that it couldn't be configured with Windows 10 therefor I have not tried using the AR1100 firmware utility on the backpacker screen with Windows 7. If anybody has had hands on experience of doing this I would be interested in their comments.
I am not recommending anyone who uses a 'backpacker' screens on a Raspberry PI to use a Windows 7 PC to configure the controller to digitizer mode. I'm not sure of all the consequences. What works with an external USB AR1100 board controller might might not be recovered in Windows 7 the same way for a built in FPC AR1100 controller. Adafruit instructions are for using the Windows utility to calibrate and set up resistive touch for being transfered to the Raspberry PI and they promote the Mouse HID mode. They show no help or instructions for using digitizer mode for Windows Devices.
The 5" HDMI screen and resistive touch panel I had working got smashed. Finding a suitable external replacement resistive touch panel is easy. As indicated above finding a 5" HDMI screen on its own is hard to find. It is easy to find an small HDMI screens with touch panels already attached. These can be replaced by a third party touch panel and be operated by an external USB controller. It is also cheaper. I purchased 5" HDMI from AliExpress described as "GeeekPi 5 inch 800*480 LCD HDMI Touch Screen". As it had a resistive touch panel and controller built in I tried that first. Out of the box it booted up up into mouse HID mode ( 'Tablet PC Settings' with 'Pen And Touch' were not available in the control panel. ) The mouse touch cursor aligns and stays under the stylus point. A long press activates the equivalent to Right Mouse Button Click. But! When the screen is rotated out of landscape 0° mode all touch alignment is lost. Without the option to use portrait mode using Windows Desk top software becomes more or less impractical on small screens. If anyone has an idea how touch can be tweaked to stay aligned when the screen is rotated I would like to here of it?
To make resistive touch practical with Windows 10 panning needs to be turned off via the registry. Panning can be stopped by a registry tweak
"HKEY_CURRENT_USER,Software\Microsoft\Wisp\Touch
\PanningDisabled=1"
