Transmitting RC5 encoded IR signal with RPI pico
In transmitter.md you have mentioned about two push buttons. Is that each of them is for sending different signal? How should we connect it? I have a requirement of waking up the philips tv from standby, how can i achieve that?what is the value i supposed to transmit? Sorry if it is a basic thing if i'm asking. I'm relatively new to this field. Please let me know if you can help
You need to make a receiver as per the docs. Press the "wake up" button on the remote. You will then know the code necessary for the transmitter.
Hi Peter, I see that, b.append is the function where we add the signal we wanted to encode. My doubt is what is address and data in that function?If i want to send a key code like 0x006c should i update which variable addr or data?
Another doubt is about hardware of transmitter, Is IR LED should be powered with external voltage source or I can power up it by using connecting pico VSYS pin output to IR LED is Anode>? is that sufficient to trigger the signal?
Please see the Wikipedia article on RC5. Commands comprise an address and data.
I suggest you use one of the circuits in my doc. Microcontroller pins are not capable of supplying the current that the IR LED requires.
Hi Peter, I have tried everything as you mentioned in the document. But the signal is generated in IR LED. I have checked the signal coming from gpio pin in Oscilloscope. I was expecting RC6 encoded signal but it's not generated.
