I'm using IR clickers used in schools to collect students feedback. (picture attached)
You plug in the receiver in a USB port and every student gets a clicker. Each clicker has a number and buttons A trough H. They click to answer questions or to play games.
Note that the clickers send a single string per click (8 characters long), so its not a continuous feed.
Using the clickers, I write nothing to the receiver. Just open the com port its on and read the stings coming from the clickers.
I've developed games that utilize those clickers using Adobe Director and Flash.
Now that I'm moving to Unity, I'd like to be able to read from com ports to open up new possibilities.
Let me know what you need.
Thanks again for your prompt response
