Add IR remote control capabilities to your next project!!

Add IR remote control capabilities to your next project, easily, cheaply and effortless...
The code is somewhat crude, but it works flawlessly to me!

What do you need:
PIC12F675 (Or you can easily adapt the code to another one)
Photo IC Infrared 38KHz (you can use one from an old TV or VCR)
A cheap remote control compatible with Sony TV
That's it! :D

I found this keychains for less than $2:

You can implement this code in two different ways, as a standalone project or to pass IR commands to another PIC in your main project (See the comments in the code)

Ok, enough talk, here is the code, the schematic is straightforward and it's included in the code:

Enjoy!

Hi Ivan, Once again, thank you for your code example. Its great to see your clear example code and useful projects. I've published your code example in the code examples section.

Great job ! Thank You !
With Philips RC5 code it's some example ?

Fratello, I have no experience with RC5 since It's more easy for me to get cheap and small SIRC compatible controls (like the ones in the picture), but the good news is that "Master" Bruce has a neat example for the Philips RC5 protocol here: http://www.picbasic.co.uk/forum/arch...php/t-308.html

Regards!
