SUMO-BOT IR remote protocol

gmg

I'm looking to repurpose a couple of IR remote controllers from an old SUMO-BOT kit and an even older build-you-own TAB robot kit. I vaguely remember some STAMP basic code that came with one of these kits to interpret IR commands, but can't find it now.

On the scope, the IR commands start with a 9msec AGC pulse similar to JVC protocol, but then follows with close to 30 data bits. Does anyone have information on this protocol or, better yet, STAMP Basic code that I can port to PICBASIC?

Thanks.

There used to be a tab robot kit group on Yahoo and a www.tabrobotkit.com site, but I can't find 'em now... recession victims?

There's this TAB book that comes with a CD that has the programs. Amazon has a review.

Did you look at the downloads available for the SumoBot? The code your looking for is in the SumoBot book Chapter 4: Infrared Object Detection. I may be able to help with a more specific question.

Thanks. I switched to the more conventional SONY SIRC protocol and a universal remote.
