I-O Data IR Remote - GV-RCKit 2

Long time ago I though I could use to remote control my PC (a recurring issue with me, I should go to a shrink). Since I was not (even worse than now) good at reading Japanese, I bought that remote not noticing that it was only if you had some stupid software installed. .. which I don't have of course.
Why not download and install? So much unfun, and even though I searched I couldn't download it (comes bundled with some TV card if I remember).

So doing some cleanup in my closet I found it, plugged it, searched a little on the net and found here and there sufficient info to access it via C# (my dear and beloved tool).

The product page at I-O data .

Basic info

• Plugged in USB 1, seen as a HID
• HID info
  • Vendor : 04bb

Access HID with C#

Big thanks to Jan Axelson who made his library and tools : http://www.lvr.com/hidpage.htm

Decoding the messages

A nice japanese guy made most of the job here (doable with a little time and tracing the HID messages) : http://d.hatena.ne.jp/sei01/20090324
