I need to inject some IR codes into my AV equipment. The commands need to be initiated by a HAI OmniPro II. There are plenty of simple serial->IR adapters out there, but they seem to have 2 failings for my application:
1. They require software running on a PC (there's no PC in the wiring closet where this needs to live)
2. They can't learn existing codes
I think there should be some kind of microcontroller with learning ability so I can program into it the 10 or so codes I need. I then send a simple 'send code#3' type command on HAI serial and it outputs the IR stuff for that. I've googled quite a bit and not found anything.
I'm open building something myself using Arduino as a last resort. Any ideas?
