<br></blockquote></div><br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><p style="margin-bottom:0in">About a year ago I was faced with a
conundrum of IR control for multiple AV boxes that used the same IR
code set, or had a overlap of one or two particular codes. To
accomplish this I needed a IR transmitting devise that supported 5
separate IR transmitters, at a minimum. Upon finding commercial multi
IR transmitter solutions are prohibitively expensive, at well over
$100. The hunt was on to make my own, somehow.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0in"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0in">Then I found my solution. A few pages
describing how to use LIRC on a RaspberryPi and also a page on a
multi transmitter GPIO LIRC driver.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0in"><br>

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">Wile not exactly a solution that you
looking for. A Raspberry Pi and $30-$40 more in parts and you can
make your own standalone multi IR transmitter LIRC server. And have
fun making it as well. I made LIRC sever with eight transmitters.
Overkill as I only really needed five but its good to have room for
expansion. It works Very well.</p>

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">If you are handy with a soldering iron
and so inclined to go the route I did. Here are the pages that helped
me make my own.</p>
