IR Transceiver Demo

I custom made an IRDA compatible transceiver complete with encoding/decoding.

I'm demonstrating it using my custom Axon microcontroller, and using Bluetooth to upload data to my PC.

How do you connect to bluetooth with hyper terminal? I thought hyper terminal only worked with simple comms like rs-232. Cool project btw. Cheers.

Bluetooth works on a virtual com port - hyperterminal doesn't know the difference.

Interesting. Thanks for the follow up.

Cheers.

This is extremely close to something I've been looking to create for an electronics project. I simply need a bluetooth device that can read an IR signal, then send that signal via bluetooth to my Mac. This is awesome. Thanks for showing this.

thank you, i will try this.

Well, channel changer programs transmit a large complex code. You will need to write an Axon program that can distinguish between each code. I recommend posting on my site forum for more help on this. This is definitely doable, even with USB. Actually, if you search my site, you'll find code and instructions on how to hook up a psp controller straight to the Axon.

the only problem is the new psp doesnt have an ir port, so i want to use the Axon as the ir port.

if i was going to program anything, it would be the channel changer program.

two comments because youtubes character limit is too short.

lol no, im not going to program the Axon or the psp.

ill try to make this as simple as i can since i always overcomplicate things.

i want the psp to take control over the Axon through usb.

the goal of this is to press buttons on the psp, then to transmit things through the Axon.

you see, i have a program installed on my psp, that acts as a channel changer. when i press X the tv turns on, or i can press left and right to change channels.
