[edit] IRman RC5 decoder mode
The IR Toy default mode is a simple IRman compatible USB remote control decoder. Command your PC from a remote control with lirc/WinLIRC, Event Ghost, PC Remote Control, Girder, etc. The LED will blink very briefly each time it decodes an IR signal.
[edit] SUMP logic analyzer mode
The IR Toy captures and displays remote control waveforms with the SUMP open source logic analyzer client. Sampling is triggered by a change on the IR receiver, it won't start capturing until it gets a valid IR source. The logic analyzer mode currently operates at 10kHz with a fixed 1024 sample buffer.
[edit] Infrared sampling mode
Infrared sampling mode times the duration of infrared pulses and sends the measurements to the computer. It's currently receive-only, but we'll add a compatible transmit feature in a future update.
[edit] Raw infrared transmit/receive (IRIO) mode
Infrared sampling mode (above) lets us do more with less, so IRIO mode has been abandoned in favor of IR sampling mode. It is still in the firmware and works, but it will not be enhanced in the future.
IRIO is a raw infrared input/output mode, it sends and receives raw IR waveforms. This mode can clone remote controls, and playback the signals to operate devices from a computer.
