infrared help

[griffin]

hi i am really new to programming and could use some help for a project i am working on.

i need to know how to make a barebones infrared transmitter/reciever with a couple of pic 16f690's i have laying around. for infrared parts i have a Infrared transistor and an IR LED. i do not know anything about AND or NAND gates the other posts talk about.

i reallise this may be a tall order but any help would be appreciated

Welcome to the Forum.
Here is a link to explain Gates :http://www.kpsec.freeuk.com/gates.htm
AND Bruce has a nice website and it features much about infared:http://www.rentron.com/remote.htm

barebones infrared transmitter/reciever

How barebones do you mean. Just an ON/OFF detector to start with? Or are you wanting to transmit data?

[griffin]

transmitting data is a must for my project, the reciever needs to be able to control about 8 outputs based on what signal it gets from the transmitter

Then the site Joe pointed you to is the place to go,
this page is where I would start
