Student Final Project Need help

[skimask]

Hi, guys
I am currently working on my final project, and I do need some help.
I am building a wireless video transmitter, in this project i also have to build an IR remote control extender. My video system is near to be done and my main problem is with the IR remote. I successfully transmit and receive my signal from the remote without the 40KHz but now I need some help in putting back that 40KHz to the signal at the ouput of my receiver.
I wanted to use the microcontroller in a way that whenever its senses a logic high, it will output a 40KHz signal.
I have no experience what so ever with micro controller, looking for some advise on where to start or even a new approach of doing it.
Thx

Key words here:
Student - Final Project - No experience what so ever
I assume you are in some sort of higher learning facility with plenty of instructors, other students and various other resources available to you.
And you can't think of a single way to generate, on command, a 40khz signal.
I can think of 4 off the top of my head...
How many years and how much $$$ have you wasted at this institution?

Hi Marco,

Although I too think a PIC would be an overkill to do the job, and a 555 works admirably, here's a link that does pretty much what you want.
