Where/how are you running this code?

I would expect the EventGhost plugin to work, but if it is not working, I recommend you talk to whoever created the plugin, or to the community over at the irtoy forum.

That would be the first step.  Using EventGhost has its advantages.  I still use it with my setup to receive IR with my usbuirt.

at python plugin > test button

i'm trying to make a class for py script, but still learning

I would start with the Dangerous Prototypes forum, not the Eventghost forum.

I see quite a few more recent threads there that discuss using the 2 different Eventghost plugins that supposedly work with your device.

http://dangerousprototypes.com/forum/search.php?keywords=eventghost&terms=all&author=&sc=1&sf=all&sr=posts&sk=t&sd=d&st=0&ch=300&t=0&submit=Search

i do like if that was so simple as this

import serial
import irtoy

with serial.Serial('COM12') as serialDevice:

    # create a new instance of the IrToy class
    toy = irtoy.IrToy(serialDevice)

    # receive an IR signal from the IR Toy, stored in a list.
    # Note: this call will block (hang) until an IR code has been received.
    irCode = toy.receive()

    # transmit the recorded signal back to the IR Toy
    toy.transmit(irCode)

but the "with" show some errors

so i do this

serialDevice = serial.Serial('COM12')

and im figuring out how to get the value when it reads

in EG the plugin only show the send command, the script need some modifications but that will take me a while, and it's not warranty i can do it work, this is some kind of frustation

If you feel that your programming knowledge is basic, the simplest solution will definitely be to find a way to get your device to work with Eventghost.

VoxCommando and Eventghost work very well together.

Have you tried posing your problem with the Eventghost plugin on the Dangerous Prototypes forum? I am seeing good support there.

Since we do not have the hardware, it's almost impossible for us to give useful advice. But once you get it working with Eventghost, if you need help adding VC to the equation, we'd be happy to help.

i will try, but has no new post about it since 2010

Thanks Kalle and jitterjames  for your reply

as jitterjames say it can out a raw code, also i like irtoy coz is open source and not a closed development, i know USB-UIRT as support but......

about use EG, i like keep it simple, i like very much VC but i want to control external devices making it simple as i can, ive read about the python posibility but i don't know how to do it, can't be simple with some include and functions

i'm getting errors with this https://code.google.com/p/dangerous-prototypes-open-hardware/downloads/detail?name=USBIRToy.EventGhostPlugin.08.03.zip&can=2&q=

unable to open com port
access denied

and a serie of errors on __init__.py

programming is just my hobbie i only know basic and some php  

p.s. also trying this one https://github.com/crleblanc/PyIrToy/blob/master/irtoy.py
