Description:

Transmits a Sony (SIRC 12-bit ) Infrared command via a specified IRLED (byte 4) i.e. it sends a single shot 'blib' to the specified IRLED (once only). Otherwise similar to command 020 and 023

Any combination of device code+ button code can be transmitted. This is used for transmitting IR signals or message to other robots for gaming or swarm control or to other IR devices that can interpret Sony the 12bit SIRC standard IR messages, such as some cameras, televisions, etc.

Technical Features

The IRCF360 transmits 12-bit infrared package. Sony also have a 15-bit version. See "Principle of IR remote control" for more details

Example Code:

For PICAXE

The PICAXE 18X does not have a 'time-out' function, so it will 'hang' if the timing of the serial communication is not correct. With the new X2 parts these have a time-out routine so the command can be retransmitted.

IRPD:

SEROUT b.2,T9600_8, (22,25,26,0) ' Send button code 22 and device code 25, once only

SERIN 2,T9600_8, button_code, device_code

RETURN

For Basic Stamp

SEROUT 2, 84, [22,4,1,0]

SERIN 2, 84, TIMEOUT, [N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW]
