Universal IR capturer

Started by Steen Larsen September 20, 2006
Hi,



I have tried to make a universal IR capture for a Freescale MC9S12NE64.

My gold is that the output from the controller is compatible with the 
Philips Pronto format ( http://home.tiscali.nl/m.majoor/prontoirformats.pdf)



The program I been writing is working fine on the remote controls I have on 
hand.



However, the problem is that when I finally think that I have made it 
universal, I find a new remote control that does things a different way.



So now I am looking for some information on how to make I universal one for 
all.



Any ideas?



Regards



Steen

Well, is it at all possible to do a universal remote? how r u going to take care of the device id which is unique for each remote within the same code? I am not aware of the pronto format, u have specified above, can u just elaborate a little. And, can u also specify whats ur requirement? I mean, do u wanna write a driver supporting every protocols? I wrote a driver which could support RC5, RC6, RMAP, NEC if the carrier frequency fell in the supporting range of the decoder in the box and if the device ID's matched. Sudip
