    JD,

    The BS2 is not fast enough to capture an IR code that is unknown. And it is also not fast enough to transmit the signal without a little help.

    You can use it to read a remote code if you understand the remotes protocol(s).

    Read the following published by Parallax. IR Remote for the BOE-BOT:

    http://www.parallax.com/Portals/0/Downloads/docs/prod/sic/WebIR-%20v1.1.pdf

    You may also want to check out customer application IR remote repeater:

    http://www.parallax.com/Resources/CustomerApplications/HomeApplications/IRRepeater/tabid/321/Default.aspx

    I understand the link to the code is not working. I will post the improved code here when I find it.

    I have used this IR modulator with great success. A 555 timer as a modulator·will not be stable enough to work as well as the original remote.

    I have a host of IR protocol links available. When I find them I will post.

    JD -

    If what you're seeking to do is have an infrared repeater, to extend the range of an I/R remote, I'm told that Radio Shack has them at a very reasonable price, and they apparently work quite well.

    Regards,

    Im making a tv remote code...

    The "real" TV-B-Gone®, by Mitch Altman, is an "open" project and all the source code is available here:

    http://www.tvbgone.com/cfe_mfaire.php

    Just scroll down to the section entitled: Project: Make your own open source TV-B-Gone

    If you want to something like this using a Parallax device, you might want to have a look here.
