1. Capture the IR code in IRIO mode. This gives an 8bit/byte bitmap of the signal.

Yep, thats what I'm doing, although each key press has some values which are different. This is not when I keep the button pressed in but rather press the button, wait a few seconds and press the button again. But the difference could be due to the 10Khz not being quick enough.

2. Put the transmitting IR Toy in 8bit IRIO mode. This is important because the default is 7bits of data per byte, this might be a problem area.

Ahh, yes, that makes sense. I'll try it.

It is possible the 10kHz sampling rate is too slow for RC5, you can increase it to some extent.

Can u give me more information of how I would this please.

Also, the first batch of IR Toys has backwards LED, that would certainly limit your range.

I saw the post so I fixed this before I even plugged it in

Good luck with your app, I hope some of this is helpful. Give me a shout if you need more info or a repair for your IR Toy LED. Let us know when you finish the app and I'll post it up on the blog.

Thanks, I'll let u know as soon as I have something more userfriendly

USB Infrared Toy / Quick Question about Raw IO mode

April 12, 2010, 06:07:57 pm

In the manual of how the IR toy works you have the picture which shows the two IR toys running and then sending data from the one to the other. You state that you only send the pink text, but judging on the screenshot, the pink text comprises of only bytes here and there. How did u determine which to send ?

I'm putting a little app together (IR Studio) with various functions for my own use. I could capture a mute from a rc6 remote but when I transmit it, it only works sometimes, I'm guessing that I don't understand something and I think it has something to do with my question (above). Another reason that I thought of was that 10 Khz was maybe too slow ?
