Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

HI,

I have a cheap Hd Monitor with a Infrared Remote which will not encoded by the intern
Mmbasic picomite protocoll (sony). I got Pulses from the IR Receiver so i guess the frequenz is ok. if i remember right somebody has postet some code  for a problem like what. the search function will not help me so i ask here .

In case it helps, some search sites are better at finding things and allow such as
site:... search words

The ... can be a URL usually.

I have no idea what Sony protocol you are refering to, but the PicoMite user manual says that there are 2 IR protocols supported:
- NEC
- SONY
When your protocolis different from these two (i.e Philips RC6 or so) then you need to analyze the protocol so we have somthing to work with. Without more detail it is hard to suggest a solution. Most IR RC systems work around PPM (pulse position modulation) where a carrier burst is send, and there is a variable time in between bursts. This time determines if it si a "1" bit or "0" bit that is send.
So accurately measuring the "period" of such demodulated signal will give you infomration about the ones and zeros.
MMBasic (on picomite) is fast enough to keep pace with the bitstream. Measuring could be done using PIO, or the PULSIN command.

It can only *send* SONY protocol though.

The frequency might be correct (commonly around 38kHz) so the receiver chip is seeing it and flashing the LED connected to it's data pin, but that doesn't mean that the protocol is the same.

IR is tricky. You need to capture the signals from the transmitter and then find a way to copy them if you want to transmit them from something else. A good place to start is with a 38kHz IR receiver and a digital oscilloscope. Get something to display while the transmit button is held down then set the trigger and do a 1-shot display. You have one pulse train on the screen to figure out. :)  Some logic analyzers can do this very well too. It's always difficult with an unknown protocol as you can't trust any of the published codes.

Peter's CSub LOG can capture the data. Alternatively the ADC function can do it.
At 378MHz a short For - Next loop can capture data with 20uS pulses.

Hi Phil,

Does the LOG csub still work? I remebers disco4now had to recompile it for 50703B13, since the header file changed. Would be nice to have this functionality. But I expect 50703 (1 year ago) might be too old to run.

What would even be nicer, if Peter adapted the PULSIN to accept an array for results in stead of a value. Then yo would not need the CSUB at all.

The old version no, but Peter updated it after the change of compiler version.
TassyJim has a similar thing called Fetch, I think.

This is something I put together for Grogster to read pager codes.
It uses a PWM signal as a high definition timer on a micromite.
you save all the time intervals to an array and then analyze them later.
It might help but the pico has a lot more in it's arsenal.

 ' exp64 decoder
 DIM INTEGER tick, tock, period, pulsetime = 50, synctime = pulsetime * 10

 DIM pulsecount
 DIM firstRun, syncs
 DIM validAlarms$(20)
 CONST ticker = 49 ' connect PWM output (pin 48) to here
 CONST rxPin = 46  ' pin that the receiver output connects to
 validAlarms$(1) = "011101010001110000000010"

Then maybe you need to send pulses with the NEC IR protocol

You may find the solution in this post  (NECSend command) !

Hi vollhout, i need to analyze the remote protocol first so i can’t provide much infos.
With Sony protocol i mean the MMBasic provided ir protocol. Thx

If you haven't got a dedicated logic analyser then use Volhout's excellent PIO based logic analyser for the PicoMiteVGA
