Hi, I'm unable to search the forum at the moment (don't know why but it times out).
I need to be able to get an LCD TV to switch on automatically in an unmanned showroom. The problem I have is that the TV defaults to standby mode when power comes on (automatically at 9am). I'd like to be able to knock up a Picaxe circuit to wait 30 seconds and then transmit an ON code to the TV via IR.
I have two problems. One is identifying the on code and the other is transmitting the code. I know there are various databases I can use to hopefully get the on code but are all codes of a similar format? I know the Picaxe uses the Sony standard?
Thanks
Mike
