Trying to catch IR pulses swordfish basic

Pic basic pro has pulsin command that can count pulses. Like from remote controllers. Atom did some code for the sony remote He used delays to time how fast it checked for change in state.

So I tried this code i made and it look like it is catching the code. I just wanted some thoughts about it. Thanks
Code:

End
It will run on the junebug it blinks led1 and 6 as output.

The code catches the pulses but it outputting it slower then it is reading lol. Or it's just catching the start pulse and that it. Back to the drawing board.
 
Hi Bert,

I wrote this module last year. It does pretty much the same as yours except it has a function to receive a pulse.
Code:

Hi Mike
Here what I catching. I think i need some error checking Like your code Mike. Thanks for the post. I don't no if I'm getting better at this or not But I think I am lol. I'm printing your code out so i can get a good look at> Here what i get with the logic tool.**broken link removed**

All three of them are from the sony remote but the timing is off so the only thing it's for sure catching is the start pulse and some of the 1's and 0's after but my code has no error checking. I just was trying to catch pulses. If you click the run on the logic tool and press the remote at the right time it catches the button code. But that's hard to do.

It's absolutely dead easy to do - set the logic tool to the correct timebase and sync (negative going), and simply press the Sony button, it captures the entire waveform perfectly.
 
you are setting it up wrong then i have captured from my remote no issue... you have to setup your receiver output pin to CH3.

Once you do set it to capture on LOW and press RUN and then you should be able to press the button at anytime you want and capture it like this:

ir-png.30318


EDIT: remember the low pulses are the data...

Lol I'm not reading from the IR module I'm reading what the pic catches and would be saving I'm just resending what it catches And I just use the sony remote to have a signal to catch. Maybe you can see if I draw you a pic.
This is what you get from the IR module
**broken link removed**
I no how that works
What I posted Is what the pic catches Like I said I was not checking for errors If I press run and the remote key at the right time it catches it right If not it errors and just get's the start LOL

Look one more time I Have it right I posted it over I put it on the wrong port the first time lol
lol backwards maybe?
if it was backward I wouldn't have got any output lol
 
Last edited:
im looking at it now and it still seems backwards lol

The Infrared on schematic is RA0
The Logic is RB0 on schematic.

Dim IrIn As PORTB.0
Dim led As PORTA.0
 
Whats that going to do just send it back out LOL.
Atom I post it right. But any way I'm not just reading from the logic tool. I don't want to just send it back out I want to catch it so i can save it. I just sent what the pic is receiving out portA.0 to see if it matches. It's not going to do me any good to just send it back out a pin and not save it. Can't save it if you don't catch it LOL. Mike showed me what I was missing I had no error checking in my code The code works. And so dos my setup. It just don't get all bits if it errors I fixed that.
