AN #120 - Sony IR receiver using the SIRCS protocol Print
Sony IR receiver using the SIRCS protocol

This application note was submitted by Alex Shepherd

This AN shows a good usage of the input capture function of the timer. You can use the AN to decode other formats as well.

' AVR Sony SIRCS IR Remote Decoder
' Copyright (c) 2002 Alex Shepherd email: ashepherd@wave.co.nz
'
' Here is a alternative to AN20 to decode the output of SONY IR Remote that uses
' the SIRCS Protocol and decodes 12, 15 and 20 bit codes

' It uses a 3 pin integrated demodulator/decoder IR Decoder device called
' an IS1U621 see http://www.e-technik.fh-kiel.de/~dispert/robots/is1u621.pdf
' but there are a number of similar devices.
'
' This program works by connecting the Data output from the IS1U621 to the ICP
' Pin of the AVR and then uses the Capture1 interrupt to measure the time
' between each bit to know if it is a 1 or a 0 and then uses Compare1a interrupt
' to detect that there has not been a bit toggle for several bit times to
' detect the end of the packet.
'
' I ran the code on a AT90S8535 @ 8MHz and also a ATMega8 @ 10MHz, however
' the timings below are for the AT90S8535 @ 8MHz
'
' If you need to change the XTAL frequency then look down at line: 126 and
' uncomment the Print line there so that it prints out the clock counts per data
' line toggle so you get an idea of the count distributions.
'
' Then alter the count thresholds on lines 47 and 48 so that you detect the
' initial start bit which is longer than the rest and then observe the time
' differences between the other bits and pick a number between the average of
' the 1 or 0 count averages.
'
' I got a startbit of about 450 counts, a 1 bit of about 55 counts and a 0 bit
' of about 37 counts so I chose 200 and 46 for the two thresholds
' Your mileage may vary...
