(...) They are one and the same. When transmitting, the IR tower just uses the RS-232 TXD line to switch on the 38kHz carrier. It also has some timing circuitry to keep it alive, and an Rx side, but the Tx is painfully simple. You'll probably see (...) (25 years ago, 18-Sep-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

(...) The Sharp GP1U581Y is a 38kHz receiver that incorporates an amp, a limiter, a bandpass filter, and a demodulator ... outputs a low while receiving an IR signal, a +5V high when not. It does NOT do any decoding. (...) From what I've been seeing (...) (25 years ago, 18-Sep-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

| | [OT] Decoding the LEGO remote control
|
|
Hi All - - A couple of weeks ago I received my LEGO MindStorms #9738 remote control. It's really cool to be able to select, start, and stop programs ... override the motor controls ... send messages, etc. If fact, it's SO COOL that I want to be able (...)

(...) What exactly does the Sharp IR receiver do? If it uses Sharp's ASK modulation, then you may have a problem. Ideally, what you want is something like a phototransistor to a good preamp, followed by a bandpass around 38kHz, then some sort of (...) (25 years ago, 18-Sep-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

Whoops, there are already 4 propositions of nqc code repository. Which one is ideal? imho, the best we can have is only one place, with all the stuff. Or some kind of colaboration between the different hosts. Else, this won't be as usefull as it (...) (25 years ago, 18-Sep-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

Hello Dave, First, let me thank you for NQC ... you've made my RCX playing tremendously more rewarding. I've been wanting to use a Sharp IR receiver to demodulate the signal from a LEGO remote control, and then a PIC to decode the rx output for use (...)
