This IR library is so handy, I’ve created a control system using the IR Library on a Mega, utilising the Mega's serial outputs to control serial devices (My Marantz Receiver and Atlona HDMI Switcher) and the IR libarary to control the IR devices (Sony TV, Samsung Bluray player) I have 8 individual IR outputs (one PWM pin connected to the + side of all of the LED's via a resistor and a digital pin with a diode on the negative side for each LED, thus allowing a single LED is to be activated. I have written a conversion program on the mega to accept the Global Cache’ sendir command and have added sendrs (for serial 0,1,2,3) and sendrl (to drive relays) a typical ir command looks like :
sendir,1:1,1,40000,1,1,96,23,48,23,24,23,48,23,24,23,48,23,24,23,24,23,48,23,24,23,24,23,24,23,24,800
Check out the Global Cache’ website for the breakdown of this protocol.
Commands are sent over the Mega’s Ethernet port via Demo Pad software from my iPhone.
