Hi I built this circuit not long ago and was able to use WinLIRC and another program I know it definately works.

What I am trying to do now is to make my own program that reads in the commands from the remote into my program and then depending on what the command is I get it execute a program with the shell command. I know DCD is not used to read in data but can it be used?

And if so any sample code or ideas would be very useful!

Thanks in advance
