"bitbanging" IR remotes

[Bloody-orc]

How could i "bitbang" remote control data? i would like to connect a remote to picaxe using ELRIM sensor but i have no sharp remotes. i know that i cant use serin to do the job, can I?

Also do universal remotes qualify as sharp remotes? can i use infrain when using universal remote?

Not sure what an ELRIM sensor is, but according to ...

http://www.xs4all.nl/~sbp/knowledge/ir/sharp.htm

The Sharp IR is modulated at 38kHz, which is compatible with the standard PICAXE IR sensor, TOPS18, so your sensor should be able to receive Sony IR as well.

Hi Bloody-orc,
Do you want to send Data with the IR
or just turn something on / off etc,,?

 

[Bloody-orc]

ELRIM is this TSOP something type IR reciever at 38 modulation. and i want to control my picaxe with a remote control (like i want it to pull a pin high with one remote button and another on different button etc.)

I'm confused - So why do you need a Sharp remote control ? Or is that a typo for Sony ?

INFRAIN reads Sony codes. Most universal controls should generate Sony IR.

 

[Bloody-orc]

sorry i remembered wrong. i ment yes sony. so universal remotes can be red with infrain, yes?

A BIG YES! This IR data whole field is now almost a doodle as the 08M has virtually redefined simple IR sending and receiving. It's ability to handle the 128 extended SONY IR codes (INFRAIN2) put it ahead of even the 18X.

Read the manual .pdf P.31-36

If you want to try this also, it's a slightly
unusual way to do it but has some merritt.

Don't get paranoid B-Orc. They're not talking about you - something unsavoury happened earlier... whilst you were doing your homework.
