What IR transmitter/ receiver should i buy

[NightSpeed]

Hello I currently live in the US and was wanting to control my Projector with vox. One small problem I dont have the remote for the projector or know what would even work as far as a transmitter. I know some people on the form have been looking at the beam that a community member has been making but unfortunately i am a very impatient soul. I have NO budget I currently work at Walgreen for $9.00 an hour so as you could imagine my budget can not exceed $70 including shipping.

P.S i know my grammar is left to be desired.

Welcome to the forums NightSpeed

you could try an HP Remote Receiver (Requires Eventghost) with an extended IR emitter if you can run them in/on the wall and ceiling(link in my signature),

or something like this http://voxcommando.com/forum/index.php?topic=2090.msg18119#msg18119

If you don't have the original remote that could be much more than just a small problem.

If you know the make and model then it might be possible to find the codes online. Otherwise you are probably out of luck.

Also we don't even know if your projector uses IR or RF which makes it hard to know what devices you can use to control it.

Thank you for the welcome I do appreciate it!!

My projector is a gateway model 210

I know for a fact that this dino is not zwave compatible so I assume that makes things more interesting.

also if i was to get the Hp receiver does it include the ir emitter?

Some do, but the emitter cable would need to run from your pc to your projector, so if it's more then 1.5ft to 3ft away you will either need to buy one that is long enough or if you are capable you could make your own

A UsbUIRT is also in your budget and I think is a better product.

But if you don't have the original remote then it doesn't really matter. First you need to find codes for your device since you cannot learn from a remote that you do not have and your projector is an old brand that is not listed on any code sites that I can find.

It might be possible to learn codes from a Harmony remote because they have codes for just about every device out there.

I will take a look at my harmony later

Yes, the gateway 210 codes are available
