Taximania, I'm a techie myself, so please keep us updated....
I can now confirm it is possible to send IR information from a PPC that is read by a PIC micro. PPC TX -> PIC RX. It uses the 3rd party circuit, (easy to build), I posted earlier. :sign0060:
What the PIC does with the info read is entirely dependant on the code in the PIC, not the PPC. :sign0087:
So now you can re-program a Pic's behaviour in-situe as long as your Pic's code does the error checking etc.

I'm still working on PIC TX -> PPC RX, I'm sure I'll get there soon.
