Action
Retrieves the RC5 remote code from a IR transmitter.
Syntax
GETRC5( address, command )
Uses
TIMER0
Remarks
address |
The RC5 address |
command |
The RC5 command. |
This statement is based on the AVR 410 application note. Since a timer is needed for accurate delays and background processing TIMER0 is used by this statement.
The interrupt of TIMER0 is also used by this statement.
TIMER0 can be used by your application since the values are preserved by the statement but a delay can occur. The interrupt can not be reused.
You may use any pin that can work as an input pin. Use the CONFIG RC5 statement to specify which pin is connected to the IR receiver.
GETRC5 supports extended RC5 code reception.
The SFH506-36 is used from Siemens. Other types can be used as well. The TSOP1736 has been tested with success.
You can also use the pin compatible TSOP31236
For a good operation use the following values for the filter.
TSOP 312xx
1=GND, 2=VSS, 3=OUT
Most audio and video systems are equipped with an infra-red remote control.
The RC5 code is a 14-bit word bi-phase coded signal.
The two first bits are start bits, always having the value 1.
The next bit is a control bit or toggle bit, which is inverted every time a button is pressed on the remote control transmitter.
Five system bits hold the system address so that only the right system responds to the code.
Usually, TV sets have the system address 0, VCRs the address 5 and so on. The command sequence is six bits long, allowing up to 64 different commands per address.
The bits are transmitted in bi-phase code (also known as Manchester code).
For extended RC5 code, the extended bit is bit 6 of the command.
The toggle bit is stored in bit 7 of the command.
Xmega
The Xmega will use timer TCC0 instead of TIMER0.
You MUST enable the low priority interrupts since TCC0 is used in this mode. You can do this with this command :
Config Priority = Static , Vector = Application , Lo = Enabled
Xtiny
The Xtiny will use a TCAx or TCBx timer.
Alternative Background decoding normal AVR
A special alternative library named RC5.LIB can be used to decode the RC5 signals on the background. The developing of this library was sponsored by Lumicoin.
See CONFIG RC5 for more information.
Alternative Background decoding Xtiny
A special alternative library named RC5_BG_XTINY.lib can be used to decode the RC5 signals on the background. The library is automatically included when you select the BACKGROUND mode.
See CONFIG RC5 for more information and an example.
