Hi, I am John in Arizona and I have been struggling for two days to get IRIN or INFRAIN to work on an 08M2. I have tried all the code examples I can find and none seem to work. I did a ham radio project a couple of years back, using the same IR remote that I am using now....it worked great back then. After trying all the IRIN code examples I have found, I am thinking it may be the remote that is the problem. It is an RCA Systemlink 4 remote, sold as a universal remote and is designed to support 100s of different TVs and audio systems. When I got it, it was programmed to use with a Sony TV and it worked well with the 08M2. I have read multiple reports here about the necessity for the remote to be SIRC compatible. I can see the IR decoder outputting a sequence of pulses to the 08M2, but the 08M2 seems to totally ignore them. My question, is if the remote is not outputting SIRC signals, would the 08M2 attempt to decode them and just output "garbage" characters with the sertxd command or would the 08M2 totally ignore the IR sensor and output nothing with the sertxd command? At this point I am not sure if I need to be looking at the 08M2 and the program, or trying to get the remote back to outputting SIRC commands. I don't have a Sony TV to use to get it set up as a Sony remote, and I am not aware of a way to do it without an SIRC compatible TV. Any help would be appreciated.....Thanks, John
