Subject: 
IR transmission, strange coding ?

hi all,

I'm working on what I call an "InfraRed All module" , which should
become IR-tower, IR-sensor, IR-audio-remote, etc.

Measuring the IR pulses from the IR-tower I encountered the following
effects

According to what  Kekoa Proudfoot found
         "A '0' is coded as a 417us pulse of 38kHz IR, a '1' bit is
417us of nothing."
ok, nothing wrong with that.

But the startbit ( which of course = "1") also sends a 417 us puls of
IR.
The first stopbit (which is "0") is coded as 417 us IR,
and all following stopbits are nothing of IR.

Did anyone measured this ?

best regards,
Stef Mientki

(...) I forget exactly how I measured this. I think maybe I hooked a scope directly to the LEDs then sent a constant stream of something to the tower and looked at the waveform on the scope. I don't remember noticing anything funny with the start (...) (23 years ago, 6-Nov-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

(...) As far as I remember (it's been > 10 years) startbits are 0, stopbits are 1. (...) This is strange, are you sure it is not the odd parity bit? (...) That's fine, 1 is the 'passive' and 0 is the 'active' level. Jürgen (23 years ago, 6-Nov-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
