Infrared for consumer electronics

For an (incomplete) list of supported IR devices, please have a look at the hardware compatibility list here.

Range

Since the receivers of IR commands are varying very much, it is hard to define a universal range for the FLipMouse. Currently, this page contains some test values to give a coarse overview of the possible ranges.

Range extension

If you can't improve the range to the wanted distance by changing the FLipMouse' direction, it is possible to move the IR LED outside the case, to decrease the distance to the devices. To do this, unsolder the infrared LED (LED5) and extend the leads with any wire. If you use a flat-cable (like old floppy/IDE cables), it is possible to route the wire nearby the USB connector outside. Following pictures show you how to manage that.

Macros

Macros allow running a so-called command macro which consists of several individual actions. Thus, a desired sequence of actions can be performed which consists for example of a number of mouse moves, mouse clicks, text inputs or key presses. This action is powerful but also a bit more complicated because the individual actions must be specified in form of so-called AT- commands which are separated by semicolons.

Usage

For example: to move the mouse cursor 100 steps to the left and 20 steps up you would use the following macro text:

AT MX 100; AT MY -20
