Dear Pronto Gurus,

I would like to build custom IR extender, the easest way is to send IR raw code over tcp socket and convert it to IR led on/off
easy to say but:
1.) Do i have the access to IR raw code from PS?
2.) How to IR raw cade coded? is this just the bit sequence of IR on/off with some sample rate? if yes that is the sampling rate?

Can anybody help me to find answers to these questions!?

Regards

Juri

The easiest way is probably to buy a Global Cache TCPIP tp IR unit and talk to it over TCPIP.

To answer your questions

1) No

2) It is generally coded as pairs of on off times measured in ticks of some clock to produce time in microseconds. On the Prontos when using a learned pattern the clock as the Pronto internal clock times some constant for scaling.

There are many IR forums where all of that is discussed.

Search and ye shall find.

Dear Barry,

thank you for response, On internet search is the biggest problem to find the right search pattern, finally i manage to find good pater an it brings me to your article with detailed explanation of question 2.

negative answer for question 1. is not the problem i can load the IR hex code to extender and triger it from Pronto.
I agree that easiest way is to use the standard devices like Global Cache, but unfortunately often very specific needs exist, as in my case: only available channel is rf cable but its go through splitters and their cut off everything less than 80MHz and other option is 220V powerline and finally its should be based on LonWorks standard. and these bunch of circumstances force me to look for custom ir extender.

Thank you once more for IR article

Juri
