Really Simple PIC Based IR (InfraRed) Controller - Electronic Circuits Projects Diagrams Free

Hi Guys,

I have a helmet cam and a SanDisk V-Mate video recorder and I want to make a small circuit to start and stop recording with the push of a button...

I intend to fix an LDR right in front of the record LED and connect that to a basic circuit that lights an LED on the button so i know when its recording...

To start with I have:

I have a Pickit2 and a Low Pin Count Demo Board, I haven't done much with PIC's and what i did do was in C, from what I've read the timing has to be very accurate in order for it to work, does this mean i have to write it in assembly?

Basically on press 1 I want it to send the standby command wait for 2 secs then send the record command, the next time its pressed i want it to send the stop command wait 2 secs then send the standby command... how easy does this sound and what extra stuff do i need?

Thanks!

D.

It is not essential to write the code in assembly you can write efficiant code in C as well.
