Version 1.132

[jitterjames]

Now with a new feature called "Maps" which is introduced in the following video:

I have also updated the GgCal plugin (google calendar) with the ability to automatically trigger events for your calendar events.  A video or other explanation will follow.

note: I recently discovered a new bug in the VC.triggerEvent action.  The payloads are not being attached properly and the event will fire with NO payloads.

Sorry about that, if anyone is pulling their hair out over that one!

I will include a fix in the next release.

Hey man,

Just watching your Maps video. Looks awesome!  I was wondering if there was a way I could send the IR code via my Microsoft transceiver?

I am doing at the moment but I'm using Eventghost and I'd rather use Vox so I can take full advantage of the latest functions.

Hi. I feel like I've read this before, so sorry if I did not answer you the first time.

I don't know of any way to do this directly from VC.  I have played around a bit with a plugin for usbuirt, but for the Microsoft transceiver, you'll still need EventGhost, or a command line utility if such a thing exists.

That said, you could probably handle all the codes using VC and send them all to a single "dumb" macro in EventGhost using a payload.

Thanks mate, when this holiday is over I might look into doing that.  I shall give you a shout if I attempt it and inevitably need your help.

Hey James where can i get the plugin you mentioned above? I would love to tinker around with vox sending my ir commands without the need of eventghost.

[jitterjames]

It is really just a work in progress.  I will have to take a look at it when I get home in a couple of days, and see if it is useable enough to warrant sending it to you.  If there is a demand, I will try to work on it a bit in the next month or two.

Here is the usb uirt plugin.

Info about the USB-UIRT: http://usbuirt.com/

It is still very rough, but in my tests, it basically works as it should.  I will probably add the ability to map received IR codes to friendlier event strings.

There is no learning function (yet?) so you'll need to already have the pronto codes, either from using eventGhost to learn them, or by downloading them from somewhere.

If you have a list of codes in a spreadsheet (two columns) you can use the new maps feature of VC to store and access your pronto blasting codes in a friendly way:

extract the attached to your plugins folder.

Nice work James! This might be a very nice tool indeed. From your point of view how does this comapre to lets say an iTach unit?

I have not come across these units before so no idea on how they would function compared to my iTach

Might be worth while for me to keep an eye open on ebay or something

Good stuff.  I'm going to look into utilizing this Google Maps functionality, very cool James

PS: Maps is great!

[jitterjames]

Lol

Google maps?

[Kalle]

maybe the coordinates?
