IR Remote OBEX

NWCCTV

Does anyone know of a good IR Remote OBEX that works something like the Stamp version? Also, do I set up the IR receiver in the same fashion on the Prop BOE as a Stamp BOE?

This probably isn't the same as the Stamp version, but does work very well. It's the one by Tom Doyle. Works well for Sony/compatible remotes.

NW I use a modified version of Tom Doyles program that runs continueosly in a seperate cog. It decodes Sony tv remote codes.

Thanks. That is what I needed. Is there a schematic somewhere that I can follow? I do not want to have to take Ken up on his Lifetime Warranty for the Prop BOE!!!!!

Just hook the output of Parallax's IR receiver to a Propeller I/O pin.

NW here is an example of how to use the program I posted, this will show the button your pressing on the remote on the serial terminal. 255 if no button is pressed.

CON                                  
                                     
  _CLKMODE = XTAL1 + PLL16X          
  _XINFREQ = 5_000_000               
  IRPIN = 0  'output of ir receiver  
                                     
Obj                                  
  pst : "parallax serial terminal"   
   ir : "irtest"                     
                                     
Var                                  
  long ircode                        
                                     
Pub main                             
  pst.start(115200)                  
  ir.start(IRPIN, @ircode)           
                                     
  repeat                             
    pst.char(1)                      
    pst.dec(ircode)

I use TSOP4838 with all my products. They will run at between 2.7v and 5v, so they are very safe for your PropBOE.

ratronic and OBC, Thanks very much. This should get me going.

Here's one more version of it. I needed to run it without launching another cog. (I'm out)
