IR

Double-click on the IR object, labelled PhidgetIR, in order to run the example:

IR Example.jpg


General information about the selected object will be displayed at the top of the window. You can also experiment with the following functionality:

  • The Show RAW Data checkbox toggles the RAW data window. This window lets you see incoming codes as pulses and gaps (expressed as numbers in milliseconds). You can also re-transmit this raw data.
  • IR Code: the hexadecimal code corresponding to the signal just received.
  • Repeat Count: how many times the same code has been received in a row. If you hold down a button on most remote controllers, it will continually transmit repeat codes.
  • Bit Length: the length of the code in bits.
  • When a code is repeated multiple times, the {{{1}}} will learn the code. It will display the relevant information in the Learn box. For more information, see the technical section.
