How do I get one IR signal from a camcorder remote (the "take photo" button) and reproduce the same signal via a Palm IIIxe?
I have NS Basic 4.1, but may upgrade to 4.4 while waiting for a response here.
Is it possible to capture and store the signal that the camcorder remote sends to the camcoder to tell it to take a picture? I would then like to take this stored signal and send it out from the Palm pilot every 5 seconds for time-lapse photography.
ANY help is greatly appreciated. Programming the palm is fairly new to me, so I will definitely not be insulted with details. I have created an app that controls the movement of a mini-sumo robot with an attached serial cable, but that is all output. I don't have a clue as to how to "capture" the signal sent from another remote into the palm.
Thanks,
Emory

bluelizard,
It doesn't matter if the timer can be as low as 5 seconds. OmniRemote has an SDK that they are making available which will allow me to use their IR send command within my application!!! (Dang, I just remembered that I still haven't figured out if I can call their functions from within NS Basic.)
Anyway, you pointed me in the right direction and have kept me from re-inventing the wheel.
Thanks!

I'm not opposed to buying a solution since I need it in about two weeks and have limited personal time (see profile) in which to learn something new. However, it is unclear whether a timer of 5 seconds is possible.
