Girder comes standard with the plugin to be able to receive and send from the USB-UIRT infrared unit. This enables Girder to control any Infrared device, and also be able to receive any infrared signal and trigger a girder action. The USB-UIRT is simple to setup and use. The following steps help you test your USB-UIRT inside Girder.
