i know about cm19a firecracker,there are many problems with that
on the robot project it lot more ,one it is AI DESIGN using lispworks
we are using USB-UIRT MODULE to send and receive IR codes
robot project is LEAF
http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/leaf_an_AI_robot/there is so many things it does,from turning off and on x10,tv,stereo,recognizing voices and faces to tell jokes and access to the internet news or weather,all by voice
also with USB-UIRT module i control my stereo and tv ,by IR repeater system
i found 16 unit codes,and looking for all 16 house codes
there is another idea buts its slow, ahcmd.exe command,since the robot has WIFI and whats called robochat to talk to other LEAF robots or computers
inventer of BVC does talk about using USB-UIRT and i seen his website before
saw your youtube,looks good ,kinda very close to mine,except for voice command,
i do have very large home theater system,so far using sony rm3000 remote is where i got 16 unit codes and others,since my robot has its own voice control ,BVC WONT WORK FOR IT,but BVC CAN WORK FOR MY HOME DESIGN MAYBE
..... my robot is a voice controled design
There are many ways to remove a feline's fur covering. I use BVC (Bill's Voice Commander) for control of X10 items. For a robot you could just send RF (using BVC) via a CM19A (it's USB powered). Of course BVC also can send IR (which is always handy).
But if your determined to send IR to the IR543 you can get the X10 IR codes off most good quality Home Theater Remote (listed under lighting control).
I've done a few things with X10, BVC, and even a robot. Check out my YouTube Channel.
