Hi!
I just wanted to know if the infrared board can decode or store the outgoing signal from a e.x TV remote control and after if I can use that signal to resend it back to the TV but not via the remote control but through the infrared board and the TV will respond?(can I manipulate a TV via the infrared board?)
Also I was wondering about the ECIO, can only be powered from the USB socket or they have another socket for plugging in a jack from a power supply unit?
Thank you in advance.
Regards.

You have the option of powering the ECIO from the USB port or from an external 5V power supply.
You can use the IrDA E-Block for this, but it is not really recommended (you will basically have to wire the Ir sensor directly to the processor, negating the 2 IrDA protocol chips on the board itself). There is a good article in the "article" section of the forum that shows some appropriate hardware for this.
