Hi

I've got a Microsoft Wireless receiver that's intended to be used with Xbox 360 controllers. Do you know of any software I can use to instead use a Harmony 300 remote with the receiver?

Cheers

    I could be wrong on this... but I'm pretty sure that your the Harmony remote uses IR and Xbox 360 controllers use a wifi like signal. These two things are completely incompatible. One is radio waves the other is light waves.

    The Microsoft Wireless 360 Receiver uses a proprietary 2.4ghz wireless protocol, the Logitech Harmony 300 is Infrared... two totally different things.

    Software would not allow them to talk, and a hardware mod to accomplish this would not be feasible.

    Too Bad...

    This sounds like a job for 6 months of work with an Arduino board!
