Remote Control receiver - input source switching

[dhouston]

It would help if you tell us the brand/model of the amp & remote. Knowing the IR protocol will simplify what you want to do. You also need to know the IR carrier frequency although this isn't critical if it's in the range of the TSOP1100 IR receiver module (33-56kHz IIRC).

Hi,

Dave is absolutely right; the job to decode the signal is so much easier if you can 'see' the signal.

One way to do this (again, learnt from Dave, thanks) just connect an IR receiver module to a sound card line-in, and capture the signal from your remote using an sound editor such as Goldwave; this would let you stretch the original raw burst on the screen enough to show the individual pulses.

Alternately, look at Dante's Infrax at http://www.geocities.com/tdanro/

This gem not only shows the signal in a picture-perfect rendition, it also identifies the protocol and gives a lot of other information which would make it very easy to use in your PBP program.

Doesn't your amp have video inputs? I saw the specs and it has 3 composite and 3 S-Video on the back and 1 Composite on the front. So?

I just finish my. using part of this proyect.

h t t p : //www.web-ee.com/Schematics/VSwitch/vswitch.htm

the only part i change was the software, i use some ir RC5 library from this book Experimenting with the PicBasic Pro compiler.
