[Question] - Infrared customizing..

[sunny747]

HI,

i'm using usb infrared....i've noticed IR hangs while attempting to send file if the other device is not in range....but after a minute or so, it becomes active again.............if the other device is not in range, it shows error message but takes long time to show.........

So i was wondering if there is way to minimize the time of the error msg which means it will show the msg quicker......i'm coding a small software where i don't want my user to sit long if somehow they do mistake in sending the file......or if it is possible to force IR not to hang doesn't matter the file has been sent or not.....IR hangs, my whole software hangs.....

any idea?

thanks in advance...

i; line of sight

ii; reflective

iii; spreading signal

the first one is common in tv remotes

so u better check it which one is urs and switching to the 3rd one might b a gd idea 4 u to avoid the problm u r havng

P.S.just an amateur suggestion buddy, listen to all and do the best.

It depends where the timeout/retry logic is located. Most likely somewhere in the driver.

Figure out where the timeout/retry values are found in the driver, then edit it to reduce the timeout/retries.

Do you know much at all about drivers, coding, and how the infrared hardware works?

If not it will be much too difficult for you to do this.
