Interesting. This is not the "MyBlaster", which did not require LIRC and
could be driven by a perl script directly. The MyBlaster had the
"smarts" in it, so it actually generated the IR codes and timing and had
a pretty good list of them internally. It could also learn in case you
needed to control something it didn't know about out of the box.
But this looks like a good solution to needing multiple emitters, not
having a serial port, and the price seems reasonable.
Thanks for the pointer.
