Don't you wish that you had a programmers manual.. 
Now you are getting me interested in what's coming out of the IR remote control..
Kinda wonder how long those IR bursts are.?. |
A programmers manual would have been great but much less fun!
Remote control data frames aren't too long if I remember correctly. One of my first ever hacks when I was in my mid teens was an Amstrad remote control that operated a stereo (the stereo had been smashed up). It used an 8048 processor to process the commands and operate the setreo - channel change etc. I hacked the code and programmed my own 8748 device to use as a remote control to operate relays to change the channels on my TV (it was the old push button type that you had to physically change channels on).. oh the memories come flooding back.
As stated in the post you directed me to earlier, the problem is there is no feedback to the remote so you don't know what the external unit is doing.
