Post by thread:decoding ir remote

Michael, thanks for pointing this out. I've been looking for something like this. It turns out I had the app note on my hard drive... I'd like to do something similar with a PIC16C73 and a serial interface to a PC and/or an LCD display. I've heard of PC-based solutions yet I can't find them in magazines like Circuit Cellar Ink and Electronics Now. I know I've seen related articles before. In my case, I want to use an RCA DSS IR/UHF remote with a PIC for home-control as well as it's original functions. I also want to add a display to indicate which mode the remote is in. The RCA receiver (DRD505) supports RCA's home-control products but apparently not standard X-10 RS232 systems. It appears the remote uses both 40Khz and 58Khz carriers depending on the function. I would really like to get data on the remote instead of trying to decode it... I have the following info on the remote: RCA DSS RF-Universal remote FCC ID: G95REM001 TOCOM 15147970 Board Assy: 1509389J The controller chip has the following markings: 15144-430 TCE 1997 ST 4P9NA9714 Korea If anyone has any info on the remote or the chip I'd appreciate it.

Eric, thanks! Since RCA is `in bed' with Thomson now, this makes sense... - Tom At 07:54 PM 12/3/97 -0000, you wrote: {Quote hidden}>Tom Handley <.....thandleyKILLspam@spam@TELEPORT.COM> wrote: > >> The controller chip has the following markings: >> >> 15144-430 >> TCE 1997 >> ST 4P9NA9714 >> Korea > >It's an SGS-Thomson ST4 microcontroller.
