Craig Gardner shows you how to build an infrared remote decoder - control your robot with a TV remote!

Adding a form of remote control to your robot can be fun but radio can sometimes be over kill. Infrared such as used for your TV, VCR and other equipment is a simple way to add control to a proje

Unfortunately the code is likely older, and there is a chance it might be outdated. You may need to debug line by line and/or try out sections.

Cbenson Thanks very much for reply.

I have downloaded me basicpic pro with code studio
And when I am compiling irreceiver.bad file it is giving

illegal opcode (intrsc_osc)
Please help me out once more

Thanks & Regards

which compiler used to compile obove code

hi guys.Can anyone guide me to decode infrared signal of tv remote using microcontroller 89c51?I want program for it.
thanks plz rply.

Unfortunately the post is quite old and we now suggest RB-Cri-19

Hi sir I have design the decoder circuit but it is giving same o/p every time during pressing of diffrent keys

Thanks pls reply

PNA4612 is not available in Pakistan. can some one tell me any alternative for this available in Pakistan.

Hi all,

does anybody knows how to get ir signals through com port and display them as wave shape like some analyzer. Thanks.

Good IR Decoder. We have designed in CCS to control dental XRAY machine.

We have cloned several proprietary remotes in the past also.

For Edencircle: Yes, you can filter the signals you wish to emit. Its Simple.

What I’m trying to do is very similar to ismail. I want a circuit that will take all ir signals and emit them exactly as output. Just like what some commerical IR repeater does. But I need to one thing extra. When the few specifc incoming IR signals, actually they are several IR signals from my Panasonic TV remote control, I want my IR repeater just ignore them and not emit them.

So I need an IR decoder to detect those signal from Panasonic but I’m wondering if I can clone all other IR signals using the same circuit.

Please kindly advise.

Hi Admin, I am trying to clone a remote control, is there an IR receiver/decoder platform available at all?

Functionality,adecoder performs areverse function of an encoder.Why is this not practically possible?And is it possible to convert an encoder into adecoder?

17

Because it decodes the IR light pattern from a remote control into a binary string that you can use in your code.

18

why is it called decoder?

i am asking if i can use Atmel’s products instead of pic in this circuit such as ATMega16,32

Kok,

GP0.0 is the output from the PIC chip. You hook that pin to your microcontroller to read the output of the IR detector.
