how to use mbed with IR TX/RX

Hi

I want to use Mbed for my project. Actually what i have to do is to get codes from any IR remote control (AC remote in my case). and transmit these codes using mbed via IR transmitter. I need help how to get codes from the remote and transfer it. I am using the simple 3pin IR receiver , and IR transmitter LED.

can anyone direct me to something useful ?

Thank You

hi Aftab !! you can test this program with simple IR receiver component, this helps you to get(display) codes of a remote controller . program:

  1. include <mbed.h>
  2. include "ReceiverIR.h"

ReceiverIR ir_rx(p12); Serial pc(USBTX, USBRX); tx, rx

int receive(RemoteIR::Format *format, uint8_t *buf, int bufsiz, int timeout = 1000) { int cnt = 0; while (ir_rx.getState() != ReceiverIR::Received) { wait_ms(1); cnt++; if (timeout < cnt) { return -1;}} pc.printf("getstat:%x\n",ir_rx.getState());}} return ir_rx.getData(format, buf, bufsiz * 8);}

void display_data(uint8_t *buf, int bitlength) { const int n = bitlength / 8 + (((bitlength % 8) != 0) ? 1 : 0); for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) { pc.printf("%x", buf[i]); } pc.printf(" \n ");}

int main(void) { while (1) { uint8_t buf1[32]; int bitlength1; RemoteIR::Format format; memset(buf1, 0x00, sizeof(buf1)); bitlength1 = receive(&format, buf1, sizeof(buf1)); display_data(buf1, bitlength1); }}
