Hi,

There has been a question (request?) of RC5 IR remote receiver.

https://community.cypress.com/t5/PSoC-4-MCU/IR-interfacing-with-Capsense-Button/m-p/272229#M39274

And by googling the web I found many reference information such as

https://techdocs.altium.com/display/FPGA/Philips+RC5+Infrared+Transmission+Protocol

Then what I noticed was that the standard is usually not in use in Japan,

anyway as I don't watch TV so I don't have a remote control handy 😜

To make and test the receiver, I also needed an emulator of the remote control >_<

So I created an RC5 remote control emulator on CY8CKIT-044 and a sample receiver on CY8CKIT-042.

On CY8CKIT-044 (RC5 Remote Emulator),

when I typed 0 5 53 (which is toggle = 0, address = 5, command = 53 (35h)) similar to the reference site

the waveform on my oscilloscope seemed to be OK.

Note: I emulated the output signal of  IRM-36xx, not the real IR light.

Probably if I AND this signal with the carry pulse, IR light like signal could be generated, 

but I did not go that far.

Then I connected CY8CKIT-042 and CY8CKIT-044 using

GND-GND

P0[1] - P0[1]

And when I typed below in the Tera Term connected to CY8CKIT-044 (remote control)

CY8CKIT-042 (receiver) showed

So they seem to communicate OK.

Hello sir,

Thank you so so much for sharing this information and such example code. I will try it out in my custom controller PCB and let you know the results. Thanks again.

 

Regards,

@Esteem_123 Did the example code work on your board resp. for your purpose?

I have a little project on mind and would be happy to hear about your experience with the code.

Hello @mkd ,

Yesthe above code is works fine. But as I don't have RC5 remote transmitter I couldn't able to varified
