A simple project to test and display the transmitted codes from remote controls which work with the RC5 protocol, like the TV remotes from Philips, just aim the remote control at the TSOP1736 IR-receiver.
If you only want to know the code from a button then you can ofcourse also look at the RC5 tables from this website.
The only thing you need is a PIC16F648A or 16F628A (with feeding ofcourse), a HD44780 LCD and a TSOP1736 infrared receiver.
Program 1
The first one works only with the RC5 protocol and must be programmed in a PIC16F648A.
When PORTB.0 (pin 6) is connected to GND then the numeric values from system, command and toggle are displayed in binair and decimal.
If PORTB.0 is not connected (just leave it open) then the system and commands are displayed as functions, i.e. system Amplifier and command Volume +.
Program 2
If thereβs no PIC16F648A in stock or you want also decode RC6 signals, then program the second .HEX file in a PIC16F628A.
Program 2 can not give function names, so PORTB.0 has no function here.
The second .HEX file displays the numeric values from system, command and toggle in binair and decimal on the LCD.
LEDβs
A LED connected on PORTA.3 returns the toggle signal.
The green LED flashes if an infrared (IR) signal is being received, the red LED if the received signal is poor or if itβs not a RC5/RC6 code and the yellow LED if only a βglitchβ is received.
You can leave these LEDβs if you donβt need this information.
Attention: The TSOP1736 (= 36kHz IR-receiver) must connected via a 470Ξ© resistor to +5V and over the + and β pin a tantalium capacitor of minimal 1Β΅F!
