[SOLVED] Micro-Controller based multi-channel Remote controlled fan regulator

Status
Not open for further replies.
You create some bit pattern like 10101010, 1100110011... for eight channels (8 patterns). Then you modulate it and transmit using 38 KHz IR transmitter. The receiver receives the modulated IR and demodulates it and your MCU id fed with the actual pattern. Your MCU reads the pattern and compares it with pattern stored in memory. Lets say pattern matches pattern 1, then MCU will do some operation like activating a relay for device 1.
 

I don't want to design new remote. I want to use my TV remote. As far I know, each button sends different code. Now what I want to do is to detect that codes using micro-controller. And then using that buttons I want to do the other works.

I'm able to do most of the job. But don't know how to detect the code/particular frequency sent from the TV remote. Need help in this case.
 

Use a Sony TV remote. The frequency and codes are very well documented and easy to decode with a microcontroller.

as described here and on many other sites.
 
Then you have to get the details of your remote. Ask the manufacturer to give you the IR patterns generated for your remote keys.

receive IR signals from your TV remote and demodulate it and feed it to MCU and try to print the received IR data on UART as hex value. See what values you get. It will give the binary pattern of your IR codes.
 

Yes, I want to regulate the speed. If the buttons can be detected, many things can be done.

Go to bottom right corner and click to "Ignore...." web will showup.

I have NOD32 Smart Security and there is no problem, also I monitor system on PC to see what happenning without protection and there is no attack.
 

Oh ya!

I've a idea. If a timer interrupt is used to find the data from the signal then we can get the value. Let, TMR0 is always checking if the start bit is sent(comparing with counter), then it pass to the command loop, get the data, save the data in a array, then get the data loop, save the data in another array.
Finally a decimal/hexa can be found from those arrays.

So we get a data behind each signal.....

:D
 

Yes............ Finally I've made it possible.

here is the modified code.....
Code:
// Receive Sony IR Remote signals using PIC12F675
// internal oscillator 4MHz (make sure it is calibrated), watchdog disabled
// connect 3-pin IR receiver module to GPIO 0 input
// Sony TV remote will toggle:
//     GPIO 1 output for TV '1' button
//     GPIO 2 output for TV '2' button
//     GPIO 4 output for TV '3' button
//     GPIO 5 output for TV '4' button
//   all outputs off for TV '0' button
//   all outputs on  for TV '9' button

sbit ir_rx at GPIO.B0;                  // IR receiver 40KHz

And its working.....

very nice project . hope lot help it other people.
but i have 1 confusion,
in ur clear the valve
command == 0
is button 1 & so all
but not clear the address valve
