Hello everyone,

I wanted to get an idea out there.

None of my electronics work with QtIrecco.
I know the IR port of the n900 doesn't support input, but the n900 has two cameras. These cameras can easily pick up IR.

How difficult would it be to read a remote's IR signal using a camera built in the n900 and perhaps making a config file for QtIrreco?

I would envision that there would be crosshairs overlaid on the camera's view and that it would read the brightness from that point so that you could center the remote on that point. A threshold algorithm could be used to convert the brightness into a digital signal. It may work better in dark places, but it would be super useful to me.

I do not have the ability to code the above, but was hoping that someone else might be able to do it.
