Using the Basic Stamp for a learnig IR Remote
Archiver
Posts: 46,084
Has anyone ever tried to use the Basic Stamp for a learning remote.
I have an application that would use the learning remote function to
capture all the codes off a IR remote. Then use these stored codes
to control a device. I would use the serial functions of the stamp
and write some code to enable me to send ASCII commands from my pc to
the stamp and then have the stamp send out the proper IR signals to
my remote device.
Any Ideas
Thanks

I recorded IR message codes using some Sony IR remotes, but I had to
do it with hardware. I captured bursts of data in a FIFO and then
read them with a PC. The Stamp I am using (BS2e) is not up to the
task. Each Sony code has 13 pulses (2.4ms,1.2ms or 0.6ms) with 0.6ms
gaps between. The BS2e cannot keep up because of its 400us
instruction processing time.
The faster Stamps may be capable but my experience is limited to the
BS2e. Also, there are other IR code formats in use by other
manufacturers. The specs are out there on the web.

serial data for a stamp. Perhaps this could be adapted to your
purpose. 4517 is another, similar device.
