Need help building a simple IR learning remote with a PIC

[dhouston]

dhouston's sample code appears to be for an oscillator. How would I reduce this down to the Hz needed for my carrier? Is this program specific to the PIC12F683, or can I use it on a 12F629, 12F675 or 16F88 (chips I have available now)? Would this PIC just be used to generate the carrier, or could it also generate the complete IR stream including carrier & data pulses?

It can generate everything you need, turning the carrier on and off as my demo code does within the loop. It requires a PIC that has hardware PWM. I think the 16F88 is the only one in your inventory with that capability. Get some sleep. This is too simple a project to lose sleep over.

Now I don't want to get involved in this thread... but I thought a 'Learning Remote' (see title of thread) is one where you point an existing Remote to your Learning Remote, it captures the Data Stream, and assigns it to one of your available Buttons. The Learning Remote doesn't need to know if it's a Sony, JVC or a Zenith, all it needs to do is faithfully capture the incomming data and replicate it on demand. If you go and pre-program your Data into your PIC at burn time, it's then not a 'Learning Remote' is it?

Good point. I guess I didnt read the original post well enough!!
