I'm creating this sticky post as a starting point for people looking for info on the CaptureIR program that you may see referenced in other posts.

To use this program you need to first assemble the IR capture device.

The spec for the device is here:

Finally, as it's a Java program, if you haven't already installed the Java RTE (Run Time Environment) on your PC, you will need to do so. (Note: if you've ever used RM, you already have Java on your PC).

You can download Java (at least 1.4.2) from here:
