JP1 Remotes

After more testing, the tinydeal adapter is definitely more miss than hit, as it works maybe 1 out of 10 times :(

BTW, what values should I be looking for on the dmm to see if there's one or 2 diodes?

Irdroid has a $2 kit that for sure uses 2 leds (940nm) and works with the audio jack and uses an ...

I found a cheapy 3.5mm IR transmitter and it almost works..

actually I should that it works intermittently.. I don't know if it's because of my phone or some incompatibility with the device itself.. or ...

I don't have an android with ir support built in, is there any ir hardware that you recommend for use with a smartphone?

Also, in addition to IrScrutinizer for capturing/generating is there another software piece that could be ported to android that would take the IrScrutinizer output and send to ...

Is there any particular hardware platform you'd recommend that is most compatible with IrScrutinizer? Ir Toy, Ir Widget?

Or a smartphone audio adapter :

Interesting times! So many great things to learn and experiment with.. TI sells a $50 USB RF Capture device (CC2531 http://www.ti.com/tool/packet-sniffer ) that might be the next best thing for recording an RF protocol.

Thanks for all your help, and valuable insight!

Ahh, gotcha... so if on a PC/Mac, what software could be used to take IRPmaster's output (.IrSignal & .IrSequences) to make a computer playable wav file? I'd love to see the resulting wave from the sound card (ASUS Xonar STX) on a scope!

(BTW, I've recently read that Matlab/Simulink can be used ...

Thanks, you're right, it's possible to generate 38khz, but I'm not sure that technique would work on those devices requiring much higher frequencies 56, 60, 455khz,etc

So the command-line IRPMaster is used to ...

With the crop of smartphones that are coming out with IR blasters, I'm curious if any of the great work done on JP1 (software / codes) can be applied. There's also IR transmitters that plug into the audio jack (i.e. looq system).

For example, I understand EFCs are UEI brand/hardware dependent, but ...
