IR Blaster

IR Blaster runs an IP to IR hardware emulator on Android devices that have a built in IR Blaster. There are 2 reasons you may want to use IR Blaster. 1 - Your remote control app does not have the ability to control your built in IR blaster 2 - You want to control 1 device's built in IR blaster from a 2nd device Example usage scenario with 1 device: - Your favorite remote control app has the ability to control an iTach but can't control your built in IR Blaster - Install IR Blaster on your device - Start IR Blaster, create an iTach IR emulator and start the emulator - In your remote app, configure a new iTach device at ip address 127.0.0.1 (the loopback to self ip address) - Your remote app can now control your internal IR Blaster Example usage scenario with 2 devices: - Install this app on a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 device - Start IR Blaster, add an iTach IR emulator and start the emulator - Note the ip address and port the emulator is listening on. The ip address and port are separated by a colon. - From a 2nd device, install any app capable of controlling an iTach IR device (mbhRemote for example) - Configure the 2nd device to communicate with the ip address the 1st device is listening on - The 2nd device can now control the IR Blaster on the 1st device When using the iTach IR emulator, configure your remote app to send commands to channel 3.
