xxxin Posted January 20, 2007 Author Share Posted January 20, 2007 The source code is in the download section, not in the CVS yet.

bloodmyst Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 Could we have a binary release? It's difficult for me to download the SDK and everything right now, but I'd really like to test this out!

xxxin Posted January 21, 2007 Author Share Posted January 21, 2007 Maybe... But I need to review the license of the SDKs and tools I use. I don't want to upload any binaries which have copyright issues...

xxxin Posted January 21, 2007 Author Share Posted January 21, 2007 I have uploaded the binary to http://sourceforge.net/projects/winmacirdriver. If it works, enjoy... If it doesn't work, please email to me. I collected 3 kinds of IR code in the current release, maybe the IR code of your remote control is not among them...

lotech Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 It does manage to setup a IR driver although I can't seem to get the app to do anything or allow the buttons on my remote to seem to do anything. Good job so far - only one more driver -performance counters and the need to kickstart Bluetooth with hid2hci and all the drivers are done (MBPro CDuo 17")!

xxxin Posted January 22, 2007 Author Share Posted January 22, 2007 Maybe your remote control uses another set of IR code... I'll write a IR code dump tool this week. If you know some C++ programming knowledge, you can even dump it yourself by compiling and debugging the MacIR.exe.

vfx Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 (edited) When click on MACIR.exe, i got message saying it is not a valid win32 application. I tried to manually install the driver, it doesn't work. I got MacBook with core duo 2ghz with Win XP. Thanks for your hard work.

DWDH Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 (edited) I downloaded the IR file and tried to download it, did not work...any suggestions? Anyone working on a real bluetooth option?

xxxin Posted January 25, 2007 Author Share Posted January 25, 2007 I downloaded the IR file and tried to download it, did not work...any suggestions? Anyone working on a real bluetooth option? Is it a Mac Mini or other type? What I have is a Mac Mini, the driver works for me. I also collect some other types of IR code. But I think there are still other types of remote controls this driver doesn't cover. I'll write a IR code dump tool this weekend to help you diagnose the problem... Thanks for your feedback!

Beechus Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 It does not work for me. I have a 20¨ iMac Core Duo. Running Windows Vista 32-bit. The image above shows the installed IR device running on Port 2 Hub 3 (Port_#0002.Hub_#0003)- however, on my iMac the not working human interface device is on Port 2 Hub 4 (Port_#0002.Hub_#0004) When i attempt to install the driver i get: ¨The folder you specified doesn't contain a compatible software driver for your device. If the folder contains a drive, make sure it is deisgned to work with Windows for 32-bit systems¨ Running MacIR.exe does nothing. Hope my feedback is helpful! I lookforward to a fix - I'll post results from my MacBook Pro 15¨ tomorrow when i'm at work Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/39172-i-write-a-vista-driver-for-intel-mac-ir-device/#findComment-285019 Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxxin Posted January 26, 2007 Author Share Posted January 26, 2007 Could you check the hardware ID of the device you tried to install the Mac IR driver on, in the Vista device manager? It is "USB\VID_05AC&PID_8240&REV_0110" for my Mac Mini. If it's another value for your Mac, you might try to update MacIR.inf file and then give another try. It does not work for me.

vfx Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 XP is not a supported platform yet. Please try it under Vista. Can you write quick port to XP? or Does it require a lot of codes change?

xxxin Posted January 26, 2007 Author Share Posted January 26, 2007 Not sure. This is the first time I write a driver. XP does support user mode driver framework. It might be easy to port the driver to XP. But I don't want to install XP again on my Mac Mini since Vista is so lovely... Can you write quick port to XP? or Does it require a lot of codes change?

Beechus Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 the device id is 109 not 110 for my laptop. just change it in the inf file I will upload a working iMac 20¨code when i get home Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/39172-i-write-a-vista-driver-for-intel-mac-ir-device/#findComment-285387 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beechus Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 (edited) I have the driver installed. I ran the IR app, however nothing happens. How can i test that this driver works? Another note, i am using the apple remote Edited January 26, 2007 by Beechus Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/39172-i-write-a-vista-driver-for-intel-mac-ir-device/#findComment-285388 Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxxin Posted January 26, 2007 Author Share Posted January 26, 2007 I just made a 1.0.0.3 release. Please try that release. Currently if you want to know whether the driver is working, you should install Visual Studio 2005 and attach MacIR.exe to the debugger. You might see the IR code in the output window of the debugger when you press the buttons in the remote control.
