No one-way approach to learning ir remote control frequencies

[selbstdual]

Thank you for your answer.

I'm not sure, from your post, what you are trying to accomplish.

I want to know:
a) the carrier frequency of the given remote control
b) which buttons result in which combinations of bursts

I want software in pbp to answer these questions.

Only thing offered is PORTA.5 which can be asked for its status to find out about a high or low level(light or dark).

If you need to know the carrier frequency of the IR you can record an image of it using a PC parallel port and then determine the carrier frequency from the recorded data.

For this issue I wrote this:

All approaches I have seen so far need extra circuitry and output the
data to the pc showing it perfectly. But these are one-way
circuitries. Having found out the frequences, they are useless.

You can also check the files at http://www.RemoteCentral.com for your specific remote or the hardware it was designed for.

It doesn't exist there.

Once you have the carrier frequency and the timings for the IR bursts, you can use HPWM to create the carrier, switching the pin from output to input to turn the bursts on or off.

It is about receiving, not sending.

There is a file there for a Scott DVD player. If they make other models there is still a good chance that they use the same carrier and codes.

Since you apparently want someone to hand it to you on a plate, try http://www.rentron.com/PicBasic/IR_Chips.htm

I still really do not understand exactly what you want to do but, from a quick look at some of your other posts, that seems to be an ongoing theme.

The Scott DVD Player uses the NEC IR protocol with a carrier of 38kHz. Scott's custom code is 8. The NEC protocol is one of the oldest (if not the oldest) IR protocol. It is widely used by many AV manufacturers and is easily understood. There's a datasheet for one of the early NEC encoder chips on my webpage at http://davehouston.net/Nec6121.pdf.

If you want to capture these codes with a PIC, the best way is to use an IR receiver module which receives the IR, removes the carrier, and outputs the data envelope. I suggest the Vishay TSOP1100 which works with 33-57kHz carriers. If you also want to capture the carrier frequency use a photodiode on another pin and, if your oscillator is at least 8MHz, use PBP's COUNT for 1mS during the initial IR burst which is usually 2.5mS or longer with almost all protocols. The initial burst is about 9mS with the NEC protocol.

As it happens, I've posted code to send/receive, encode/decode the NEC protocol as RF. The only difference for receiving is the polarity - the IR receiver is active low where an RF receiver is active high. For sending, modify my RF code with Bruce Reynold's IR code which I cited earlier. You can even leave it at 40kHz but you'll need to use the NEC timing in my code.

Apparently everything...right...DUDE?

Of course you do! As usual...

I don't think the plate is good enough. Hand delivered, built, tested, debugged, and put in a shiny gold enclosure...maybe...

I did not notice this sentence.

Interesting that no technical manual can be written for a good
understanding. Thank you anyway.

Let us see.

While this is written about how ProntoEdit displays IR codes, it gives a good explanation of both one Sony and the NEC protocols.
http://www.remotecentral.com/features/irdisp1.htm

This gives brief descriptions of 4 popular protocols. http://www.celadon.com/infrared_prot...ls_samples.pdf

This is probably the best one as it includes PIC (ASM) code. http://www.sbprojects.com/knowledge/ir/ir.htm

I don't understand you. Does your text support my question in a way ?

[Acetronics2]

Hi, Selbst

Could you confirm your very approximate English translation of " Ich wünche " or " Ich Möchte " is " I want " ...

... " I'd like " is much, much, much closer and could bring you back much,much,much useful answers ...


But ...may be I'm wrong ...

No. It is a notice to skimask.
