I've got a Dell Axim X5 I'd like to get it setup as a Pronto-like remote. From what I've read that should be possible.

I know I need an IR Amplifier (the IR power on mine is very limited), but what IR Amplifier to buy and what's the best software... I've read all kinds of comments on different software but without any clear conclusions. Any links to good resources would be appreciated as well. I just need some info to get me started,Thanks!

Above offers both software and an IR Extender which they claim to work with the Axim X5.

I recommend WinCESoft's RemoteControl II



This supports also the Ultramote- and the Laser CF- IR- extender cards for the Dell X5.

With NoviiRemote Deluxe the IR range of your handheld would be 10-25 feet. But since you want a Pronto-like setup ... What for ???

I am using the following:
Dell Axim x5
PPC 2002
PDAWin 5.5
Ultramote extender
Pronto edit

Works very well, lots of good CCF's on this site. Modify these using Pronto edit and the Axim is transformed to a fully featured Color remote.

You need the extender to incease the range past 4 feet.

This Axim/PDAWin/ultramote combination works with the Axim X5 but will not on my Loox or Hp PDA's.

PS- Don't buy the Ultramote software - it is next to useless, buy the extender only.

Can an existing Pronto TS1000 CCF work with PDAWin, or will it need to be modified somewhat?
