PWM on a PIC

[AtomSoft]

Its for my surround sound not a TV... And The Command is 0x00 for the 1 button and the device code which i assume to be the address is 0x0D

Presumably this is a Sony SIRC's remote?, as you say the numeric button codes are one less than their labelled value.

I've not seen a device ID of 0x0D, it wasn't amongst the remotes I tested, but is perfectly possible.

maybe its my code tho .. you are right i think.. I have to work from 8am to 1 pm today thats like only 5 hours so its time to leave now. Ill try a tv code soon then when i get hom but i need to buy a universal (cheap like $3.99 in the 99Cent stores in NY lol. maybe $5 but heh its cheap and worth the cause Thanks so far for the help everyone!

This is my remote....

So how is the code standing as is? Do you think with the correct code it would possibly work?

EDIT: Ok i gota goto work now see you all later and thanks again!!!

I have a remote for a Sony HiFi which sends device 13 (0x0d) when Tuner is selected. It also sends 18 for Amp and 17 for CD. The cursor keys always send 18 no matter what device is selected.

Have you tried my Swordfish code (scroll down a bit) to read your remote?

The output from the LA verifies that the code is good.

The Sony info Bill linked to has the address of surround as 12 decimal. Give that a try...

If not do as Mike suggested and listen to the current remote to see what it is sending. But I have not seen any bad info on the sony remotes.

Ok this is getting me mad this is my code:

}

To be sure what type of LED should i use..im trying :
https://www.radioshack.com/product/...origkw=infrared&kw=infrared&parentPage=search

Im connecting the Long lead to RB3 and the short to GND. Is this correct?

 

[Pommie]

The space is always 0.6mS so you should be sending a 2.4mS on pulse followed by a 0.6mS off pulse as the start bit and then, a one bit is 1.2mS on + 0.6mS off, a zero is 0.6 on + 0.6 off. Your timing seems to be double this. EDIT, just realised your delays are in clock cycles so ignore this.

Here is a good page explaining it.

Is it also your intention to send device code 1 and command 36?

Mike.

 

[AtomSoft]

actually no the device is 1 but the command is more like 18

MyL0();
MyL1();
MyL0();
MyL0();
MyL1();
MyL0();
MyL0();

is actual i tried it in reverse to see lol

 

[AtomSoft]

Here is a closer look at my signal does it look ok? like does it look normal?

**broken link removed**

**broken link removed**

 

[Pommie]

Yes, that looks like a start bit followed by 010.

Mike.

 

[AtomSoft]

There is more of course but i just tried to zoom in to show you ... So if thats ok and im using the 2 diode method from

https://www.sbprojects.com/knowledge/ir/ir.htm

**broken link removed**

But its still a no go...

Do you have a video camera? Most of them see IR and will let you see it too. Might be handy.

 

[Pommie]

What value have you got for the emitter resistor. It should be about 14Ω for an LED current of 50mA or 35Ω for 20mA.

You will get better results with a lower duty cycle and higher current.

Mike.

 

[blueroomelectronics]

Never thought about that, how much lower?

 

[Pommie]

It depends on the peak current of the diode. If the peak is 4 times the average then 25% would be a good place to start.

Mike.

Just two add my 2cents, you don't need a video camera, you can use any digital camera in preview mode, even your cellphone!

I think they all have a preview mode to see on the lcd what the CCD is looking at, that will see the IR without a video camera or taking a picture

Im using a end delay of 10,000 cycles which is 50 ms... 45ms is recommended in between sends so i added 5 for cleanliness.

I used the cam to see if LED is on and it looks solid..like its doesnt blink but i assume thats because its so fast. Its shows like a slight dim and back on

It should blink, VERY clearly - if it's not then you're not modulating it properly (or at all).
