Hi eveyone,
I want to build an IR receiver/tranmitter to UART to work with a particular device. I also want it to work with a PIC16f887 because I have one of these already and have some experience working with this pic. The problem is I dont know where to start at all I have no experience with IR, and the device uses its own encoding scheme which I dont think fits the info I have found on the internet for IR devices (I could be wrong of course).
I have found the following about the device and the software it uses:
The UART settings I know should be:
The baud rate is 9600 baud, 8 bit, no parity, one stopbit, no hardware handshake, no software handshake. DTR must be set high which the software sets.
The IR is 56KHz CW or ASK(Amplitude Shifted Keying)
Transmitting the characters 0-9, A-F and '<''>' only.
Any help on where to start on this woul be greatly appreciated
Thanks
