That is not what most people are doing - they need the stereo signal for reliable operation or in some cases to have it work at all. It is a practical solution to the limited voltage of headphone amps.Barf wrote:@Kevin:
(I used an audio amplifier of 110W so I do not have that problem) It is not a technologically sound solution to store the data twice to achieve 3dB more.
May I politely ask you to keep that sort of patronizing and unsuitable remarks out of the forum?Kevin Timmerman wrote:That is not what most people are doing - they need the stereo signal for reliable operation or in some cases to have it work at all.

Insisting that someone use a power amp is certainly not a "technologically sound" solution.
I never recommended, much less "insisted", that the hardware I used for development should be used for deployment. If you read my posting you will see that I recognize that anti-phase stereo has a use case, although not universal.I modulated with a sine. Using a square wave has the, at least theoretical problem that (full-wave) rectifying a square wave leaves you with a constant: on all of the time, thus useless to modulate! Now there is, not only "in practice" but also in the theory, a low-pass filter after the DA-converter, rounding the edges, thus rendering a rectified signal with < 100% duty cycle. So I thank you for your comment and will offer something else, at least alternatively, in the next version.|Alex| wrote:Then I checked it with a wave editor and its waveform has a very different shape than the other I have. The one I have is just PWM with max amplitude while your has middle values.
IRMaster can read from lirc format and generate a wave file?Barf wrote:I just released version 0.2.0 of IrMaster, which implements everything up until now mentioned, plus a few things more.
Sample frequency (44100, 48000, 96000, 192000Hz) can be selected, as well as bit width (8, 16 bits) and channels (1,2), as well as big/little endian byte order (for 16bit samples). Modulation can take place with square wave or sine wave. The trailing period of silence can be omitted from the generated file. As an experimental feature, for sample frequencies >= 96k and "audio equipment" with high band width, the division of the carrier signal can be turned off. When generating files (using the pane IE Protocols/Export) it is possible to select how many repetitions will be included in the export file.
It is also possible to use the audio setup as a IR output device for supporting IrMaster, e.g. when using the war dialer.
A wave file for this purpose can also be imported and subsequently be plotted, sent to DecodeIR and Graham's Analyze-function, or exported into another format.
Hey Barf! Thanks for replying! What an awesome work you made on irmaster!Barf wrote:You can use Lirc2XML to transform Lirc files to CCF, and then import them to IrMaster for generating wave files. The sources are available from my web site.
To my knowledge, there is no such thing as a CCF code starting with 616A, see this thread and threads linked to therein. So my guess is that it is some other representation. If you give more details on how you "captured" the code, someone is possibly able to help you.XBox I got the following error for this code:
616A 0000 0000 0001 0004 0064

Looks like DecodeIR.dll does not load. This is uncritical for this usecase. (Sorry for the unprecise and verbose loading messages; they come from files from RemoteMaster, which were not really written to be used outside of RemoteMaster.)Loading C:\Program Files (x86)\IrMaster\Windows\DecodeIR.dll

The latter signal is correct Pronto, but weird in that it only contains two pulse pairs. I do not think that there are any errors here (assuming LIRC did its job), just the signal is funny. If you tell more details someone might be able to help you. I have seen such a short signal only by Canon cameras, see the "canon" protocol in IrpProtocols.ini
IrMaster can import a Wave-file created from a similar tool, utilizing "frequency doubling by full wave rectification". But it does not "capture from an audio receiver". Every modern operating system can in principle do that, Windows, Linux, Mac,.... but there are some issues with this. But you probably do not mean exactly that, but just to "capture" an IR signal using some appropriate hardware. IrMaster, including the upcoming version 0.3, does not do that; you have to use IRScope for that. IRScope's native export, the ict file, can be imported by IrMaster. I hope to support at least some hardware directly in a future version.Can I use it to capture from an audio receiver, and generate wav files to replicate the emitt?
Barf, you software is awesome!
