Wireless Remote using WM phone?

I am trying to build a wireless remote for the Xsi running on a Windows Mobile phone using the IR port. Does any one know where I can find the IR commands for the Xsi or any other Canon camera. I would love to build this program and could probably get it up and running rather quickly.

Nothing?

There are a few remote control apps for the pocket pc such as Vito remote. And I think most of them allow you to use custom remote files and save custom commands. The problem is the majority of the pocket PCs only include the IR for data which is fairly short range. In contrast the IR in remotes (consumer ir?) are much stronger and have a better range.

So if anything, you can try some of those apps first.

I think visual basic is supposed to be fairly easy for the pocket pc so if you wanted to build it from scratch its probably not that hard. I am not 100% but I do know one solution used to be send the IR signal through the headphone jack, so if you could get a IR dump to audio, then play the audio back through an IR led you may be able to do it that way as well.

This is usually when someone points out the fact that IR remotes are fairly cheap ~$6 but you might have bigger plans... IR signal to trigger camera, IR burst to trigger flash with ETTL data, based on events and time. Lots of possibilities and a pocket pc has a better display than an arduino. Google has plenty of data http://www.doc-diy.net/photo/rc-1_hacked/index.php

Don't think there is a premade one but I would look into finding some software that can record IR signal and record what you need from a real remote. Then just resend those with your app.

* off topic but back in the day when pdas sent everything IR I remember trying to send all types of ir codes to a pda and I killed the receiving pda. To this day I have no idea what signal killed the device so don't go sending tons of random codes.
