These parts are what I used to measure the modulation frequency. I also have a Tek 2235 Analog scope and a DSO Nano and a bare IR Receiver Diode. Just realized I was not complete or detailed enough in my earlier post - sorry! If this truly what you are seeing, how is the performance of your flirc when you have done so? I've often found RC6, regardless, doesn't seem as solid. But overall, I have to play a lot of tricks in order for this RC6 protocol to work which is outside the specified 38kHz center frequency of my receiver.Īll this being said, there are some RC6 protocols which are 38kHz, in which the only problem would be the double presses issue, in which you would need to record your button twice. My algorithm will be fine tuned in the future for this, and eliminate the need for double recording (is that your primary concern?). You can try this experiment by looking at the output and comparing your scope shot next to the IR receiver, and again when emitting a signal from the other side of the room, where the frequency effects would be more exaggerated. However, when passing through the AGC, it could have unpredicted results on the output which will show up as jitter, or worse. If you point your remote at this part, and shoot, you will be able to receive the output on your scope because 56kHz is still within the wide frequency band of the on part filter. The output of this part is a noise free, demodulated signal from the received IR signal. You actually won't be able to tell the modulation frequency with that specific part. I'm using if not the same, but an extremely similar IR receiver you mentioned on sparkfun. Been using Flirc for a while and with recently adding a Harmony Hub + Harmony companion in the mix it has really become a nice setup albeit with some extra work to setup, below are some basic explanations and guide based on Harmony setup.Mentioned by everyone, your concerns are extremely valid.
#FLIRC HARMONY DELAY SETTINGS ANDROID#
It's an USB dongle which emulates keyboard commands and can learn from just about any IR remote, requires no extra software after setup and stores its config in internal dongle memory so you can swap to another machine and have the same configuration.Īn WiFi / Bluetooth / IR station which can receive commands via those protocols and is easy to setup via Android / iOS app Is it OK to do this via the Windows Software > setup, then move the Flirc to the RPI. I have flirc, Harmony and universal remotes but I want to use ir. insert the Flirc dongle into windows computer Fire the FLIRC app it says ‘connected’ in the lower right open controllers/media keys select a button on screen press remote button to pair with - the app says recorded successfully or something like that repeat for all buttons on the remote save configuration (saved to a file, didn’t seem to help). The Flirc dongle is placed right next the Harmony Hub so I don''t need line of sight, it beams IR codes straight to the dongle that way. This depends on the remote but gonna use Harmony Companion as an example here: RF remote which communicates to the Harmony Hub, has some cool features like holding keys for x seconds does a different command (double function)īattery life is amazing and it goes to sleep when not used for a while, so far mine is going 2 months without replacing the small replaceable battery. In the Harmony app add a new device and base it on Microsoft MCE keyboard from the supported devices it shows you (preferred) or create one yourself so long as it sends non-mce IR commands as Flirc can't handle those. Tweak layout and key functions with app to your liking.Ĭonnect your Flirc dongle and starts it software, since there's no clear cut Mediaportal profile you have to lookup the keyboard commands here:Ĭlick on a keyboard key you want to map in the Flirc app and then press the key on your remote you want to map to it, repeat this for every key.
