IR-remote

[ProZsolt]

I make a similar project, but my version may play music from my NAS.
I want to use an IR-remote to change music, incrise volume, turn to next song, etc. I find this project LIRC, but its IR recriever need a dedicated Serial port.
So the questation is can somebody help me to install a second serial port, or have another idea to use a remote?

I already have my WL-520 using the remote control. But the problem is that I used a remote control from a broken Chinese DVD and this remote control does not use the traditional Philips RC5 protocol, it uses a protocol called RECS80 which also belong to Philips but is not very common.
If you are interested I can send you a copy of the routine of the remote control.

I used a PIC18F4550, the program was compiled on MikroC and I am putting some extra features, but I am still working on.
I have no time yet to develop the PCB but soon I plan to post pictures of the complete radio here in the forum.

You could add a 2nd serial port by using a USB-hub and USB-serial adapter.
