Now I made a USB based IR reciever for PC...
its How-to: USB remote control receiver - Hack a Day (How-to: USB remote control receiver - Hack a Day)
Look out!!!the circyuit is easy......though the hex file is named 18F2455.hex....indicates that the hex file is for 18F2455 though i burned ir directly to 2550.....it works...the computer detects it as a 'CDC emulation device which was a microchip's application note' it adds another COM port to the PC......
But the problem here WINLIRC can't detect the device and not even responding........any other software ie uICE, Girder isnt working either..........
I'm using TSOP1356 in place of TSOP1738............I think they both're same....they both pull the output to ground in presence of IR.............
So anybody??can anybody tell me the root of the problem>>>>
ohhhh!!i forget to tell they used two 0.1uF caps in parrael to the VUSB pin.........but i'm using a 0.47 uF...will it cause some problem??

but one thing....I noticed...may be other members too that a TSOP or any modulated IR sensor with detection frequency of 56KHz can detect IR signal of >38KHz>..............when I used the same TSOP1356 in other circuit with 38KHz IR remote ie my tv remote/Canon DV camera remote it just works good...
First it is a good idea to check the IR modules if they work by putting a LED on its output and see if it blinks with the remote shined in to it.
Then its also good to check if the PIC your using has identical property's of the I/O pin that the IR module is connected to. And also try to talk to your PIC trough a com port terminal and see if anything comes out
hi my circuit works im using a philips tv remote (rc5 i think)
is sending messages in virtual com okey
for use any remote control is needed to remove the manchester decoding
in the souce code maybe you can
yes!!!really i wanted to see the limitation that this thing doesn't work except RC5......if we substract the manchester decoding this should work with any IR remote................i gonna buy a philips rmote to see......good job norman
I have assembled a Universal remote tester adapting from PIC Basic projects in the project section
The designer suggests using TSOP1736, but i had used 1738 as I readily had it
It is working and showing all codes of RC5 of Philips, but the section RC6 is not showing when I test it with (Satellite Sky TV) remote. Ofcourse it works on RC6A code. It shows some codes and many repetitions as seen by RC6 program.
Should it mean that we definitely need TSOP1736 sensor?
If it's working on some, and not others, the cause isn't going to be the IR receiver, because it's obviously working - it's more likely a software problem.

Yes they are programmable
sony rca and others has a universal remote controls!
in the manual of your new remote has the codes for many tv vcr dvd etc
search a code for a philips tv (maybe do you need to try many codes)
an test in your circuit!!!!!
