Infrared serial link




















The transmitter drive uses a clever method to modulate and invert the serial output from the USART transmitter. I improved Remin's protocol by setting up the link software so that timing constraints on the IR receiver AGC were guaranteed to be met. Packet Format and error codes A packet consists of : A start character, which defaults to ' ', but can be changed with a define directive.

No other character in the packet is allowed to match the start character. A one character checksum, which is calculated as the bitwise XOR of all the characters in the packet payload. The checksum is actually transmitted as two 4-bit values in the low 4 bits, ORed with 0x10 to form two 7-bit characters. This seemingly roundabout encoding was necessary to avoid burst length problems. A checksum mismatch will result in error code 4.

No other character in the packet is allowed to match the end character. The receiving functions do not block, but just grab what is asynchronously built in the receive buffer. An inconplete or missing packet at the time the receive function is called will result in error code 1. A buffer overrun will result in error code 2. Loopback and point-to-point code is given on the page above. Similar Projects. Project Owner Contributor Joy danjovic.

This project took longer than it should have and I have ended up with a far smaller source code than my initial attempts! This turned out to be too accurate! You don't need accuracy in this project - IR codes are designed not to need accurate measurement and if you attempt it slight variations in the edge positions or measuring accuracy cause the output numbers to change. Since the decoder software in the PC relies on a repeatable data stream with slight variation this method does not work.

IR signals are designed so that you can sample them but this requires that you know the code sequence or encoding e. RC5 in advance so that you can time from the start sequence to the exact middle of a bit position.

Since this project allows you to use any remote control unit, the encoding sequence can not be known in advance, so the the solution is to sample the remote control sequence at a high frequency. The problem is that if you start decoding from the first rising edge then errors accumulate due to slight variations in the remote control output or the sampling edge occurs at the same time as an input transition causing a random data stream output which can not reliably be decoded by the PC software.

The solution is to sample the input data starting from each rising and falling edge where a bit measurement period counter period counter is reset.

At each sample point here it is about 50us the period counter is incremented. This gives a number that represents the period of each high or low part of the signal. The 50us sample period is about ten times the expected signal period IR codes generally use us minimum period so this gives a good period measurement.

Note that the period counter is 8 bits long so that for long input sequences high or low the counter wraps around - this does not matter since the period counter will always produce the same value for the same input sequence and this is what the PC decoder software is looking for. At every signal transition the period counter value is sent to the RS interface so the value represents the number of 50us periods in the previous frame.

The value sent is a raw binary number and you can not view it on a terminal such as Tera Term as you won't get a readable value. To stop the sequence from generating RS data forever the counter value is monitored until it goes above If at the same time the value of the input is zero then output stops and control is returned to waiting for the next interrupt i. Note: The internal USART takes about 30us to set up and it then goes off and transmits the byte by itself which at baud takes about us so there is plenty of time before the next transmission us IR code period.

You could use a lower baud rate e. I have tested the infrared receiver and PC Remote Control with the following remotes:. These all worked fine - some you have to press the button twice as the code alternated for the same key.

It expect it to work with just about any remote control as these represent a wide range of differing encoding schemes. This is why you have to define the manufacturer of the appliance to use this library.

Also, note that the Sony command needs to be sent three times using a for loop. Every protocol will have its own intricacies. A good reference for un-official commands to common IR protocols can be found on San Bergmans' website:. There are a few common protocols the IR Arduino library supports.
