IR

Overview

The most easiest way to get a user input is using push button switches.

However, Many pins on mbed have a peripheral and we can't use their pin if we use the peripherals.

It's OK to add a few switches. But over 10 switches ... It's not good way to get a user inputs. It's not beautiful way for it.

So I created IR remote transmitter and receiver class library.

You can get a user inputs with only a pin if you use this class library.

Now we can control many machines that have a IR port.

The simple interfaces

To setup the receiver.

#include "ReceiverIR.h"
ReceiverIR ir_rx(p15);

To use the receiver.

RemoteIR::Format format;
uint8_t buf[32];
int bitcount;
if (ir_rx.getState() == ReceiverIR::Received) {
    bitcount = ir_rx.getData(&format, buf, sizeof(buf) * 8);
}

To setup the transmitter.

#include "TransmitterIR.h"
TransmitterIR ir_tx(p21);

To use the transmitter.

RemoteIR::Format format = RemoteIR::SONY;
uint8_t buf[] = { 0x80, 0x00 };
int bitcount = 12;
if (ir_tx.getState() == TransmitterIR::Idle) {
    bitcount = ir_tx.setData(format, buf, bitcount);
}

That's it all.

It's easy to setup your IR remote application.
