Ir Reciever Dll

[ConsultingJoe]

Hi, I just got this IgorPlug-USB(AVR) in the mail today but i dont know exactly how to use it. it came with this dll that is supposed to have functions for it.

Is there a way to find what functions are availible in this???

It didn't have a list of API calls for it?

how did you search it though Edited May 1, 2006 by zerocool60544

I did that too, but doesn't help with parameter calls lol.

Yeah I know, he needs the API really

thanks guys, I dono what to do I just got this. It says that it works with a program called girder

here is the site

Let me know what you think

any ideas about dllcalls. I really dont understand how to use it

No need to post anymore, you need to do 1 of 4 things.

1. If this was a .dll sent to you from the manufactuer, then look through their support information to see if they have the "API" calls to the functions.

2. If they have a website look to see if you can find the "API" calls to the functions.

3. Google to see if you can find the "API" calls to the functions.

4. Contact the developer to see if they will get the "API" calls to the functions.

Get the trend here? Without "API" calls, is kind of like pissing into the wind.

found this on web... so far...

#define IgorUSBDLL "IgorUSB.dll";

//return values from IgorUSBDLL functions:

#define NO_ERROR 0;

#define DEVICE_NOT_PRESENT 1;

#define NO_DATA_AVAILABLE 2;

#define INVALID_BAUDRATE 3;

#define OVERRUN_ERROR 4;

int __stdcall DoGetInfraCode(uchar * TimeCodeDiagram, int DummyInt, int * DiagramLength);

int __stdcall DoSetDataPortDirection(uchar DirectionByte);

int __stdcall DoGetDataPortDirection(uchar * DataDirectionByte);

int __stdcall DoSetOutDataPort(uchar DataOutByte);

int __stdcall DoGetOutDataPort(uchar * DataOutByte);

int __stdcall DoGetInDataPort(uchar * DataInByte);

int __stdcall DoEEPROMRead(uchar Address, uchar * DataInByte);

int __stdcall DoEEPROMWrite(uchar Address, uchar DataOutByte);

int __stdcall DoRS232Send(uchar DataOutByte);

int __stdcall DoRS232Read(uchar * DataInByte);

int __stdcall DoSetRS232Baud(int BaudRate);

int __stdcall DoGetRS232Baud(int * BaudRate);

cool, that looks like a start, thanks. Can you translate that??? Edited May 1, 2006 by zerocool60544

Haha, I never ran across that before, thanks for the link Smoke.

I tried this:

Sleep(1000)
$result = DllCall("IgorUSB.dll", "str", "DoGetInfraCode", "TimeCodeDiagram", 0, "DiagramLength", 0 )
ConsoleWrite( $result )

it just keeps returning 0

any other ideas, I read that topic but I still dont completely understand how to just write a dllcall

dll calls return arrays...

So $result[0] is probably what your after.... and your call looks incorrect (I provided a link earlier to look at). (hope the dll is in the script directory)

$result = DllCall("IgorUSB.dll", "str", "DoGetInfraCode", 'str', $TimeCodeDiagram, 'int', $DummyInt, 'int', $DiagramLength)
MsgBox(64, 'Info:', @error & @CR & $result[0])

I don't know what uchar would be, so I substituted 'str', but I would look and try all if this doesn't work. Also, I can't imagine that the parameters should be left with the paramater names, they are probably meant to be filled with something. I don't know what the values are of the variables I made... what have you found out yourself? Edited May 2, 2006 by SmOke_N

Function Def:

int __stdcall DoGetInfraCode(uchar * TimeCodeDiagram, int DummyInt, int * DiagramLength);

Resulting AutoIt DllCall:

$TimeCodeDiagram = "<value for TimecodeDiagram>"
$DiagramLength = DLLSTRUCTCREATE("int")
DllStructSetData ( $DiagramLength, 1, <put your value for diagramlength here> )
$DummyInt = <value for dummyint>
$result = DllCall("IgorUSB.dll", "int", "DoGetInfraCode", "str", $TimeCodeDiagram, "int", $DummyInt ,"int_ptr", DllStructGetPtr ($DiagramLength, 1) )
ConsoleWrite( $result )

Maybe try that?

Thanks a lot guys. I will try that. I finaly got the girder program to work with my USB IR. I made some WMP macros for it, heres a screen shot. I really would rather make my own script to handle this tho because I want to add it to my robot.

I tried that, and there is no return value at all?

[SmOke_N]

Again, I know that was a simple mistake on nwfu's part... the return value is an array.

Edit:

If the function call fails then @error is set to 1. Otherwise an array is returned that contains the function return value and a copy of all the parameters (including parameters that the function may have modified).

$return[0] = function return value

$return[1] = param1

$return[2] = param2

...

$return[n] = paramn

OMG, I just forgot that, I added: ConsoleWrite( $result[1] )

And it switches on/off (H/L) and then I sent a code with a remote and got the codes. THANKS SOOO MUCH!!!

Now...

there are 4 var from the array

with no command

I get

10

10

0

10

and when theres a ir code I get

100

0

(those squares, (@CRLF)) =>could this be a handle var???

Is this device an IR transmitter as well?

Learning remote anyone?

You could have custom layouts like the Philips Pronto...
