I’m not getting anything from INFRAIN2 when using my Hitachi remote handset. ‘Scope says there is a good clean code-signal on the pin (14M Physical Pin4). I know the RX module and my TX handset both work. Hitachi is prolly using an unsupported protocol. I have tried the routines published on Hippy’s site (thanks Hippy). No luck though.
I tried a Sony remote and managed to get some limited success. Out of over 40 buttons on the handset, INFAIN2 will only recognise 4, ‘TV on/off’ , ‘Input select’ , ‘Vol up’ , ‘Vol dn’, (codes: 21, 37, 18, 19). Something wrong with my AXE?
Here is the simple test code that only responds to 4 buttons on the Sony:
Output zero is just a confirmation LED. The INFRAIN2 command remains stalled for any other button than the 4 described above. The Sony remote TX works fine for it’s intended equipment and all the buttons produce a clean code-signal on physical Pin4.
I really would rather use the Hitachi remote TX though, instead of adding another handset to the collection. Anyone tried to get a Hitachi remote working with PICAXE? Anyone have any links/info on the Hitachi protocols?
My intention is to have a button on the Hitachi (TV) remote turn the main overhead lighting on/off.
