IRDA Capture Program

[usp8riot]

So let me get this straight, this picks up signals from other devices and I can use the PSP to spoof the receiving device into thinking it's the original? Hmmmm, think of all the garage door openers, car alarms, car alarms and such you could have fun with if you could use this data effectively.

Problem is, I don't have a clue how to interpret what's being captured into a usable method. So what is the use of this if we have no means to interpret the data and from what it looks like, it doesn't seem to save it to the mc.

EDIT: Nevermind, I read over the readme too fast. It does save it in the top directory of the mc. Opened it with a hex editor

Ok, so I opened the file with a hex editor. So all we need is a program to take that same data and transparently spit it back out at the receiver. It doesn't seem all that hard to do but then again, I'm not a coder. Apparently I'm missing something. Maybe the signal's are encrypted. I got some googling to do obviously.

for unidirectional Irda without any time dependency
involved the program is as simple as you describe.
eg You can capture & replay input from most IR keyboards,
or TV remotes quite easily.
But, have a read thru the recent Lua IR thread
in this forum, where i tried with Prasoc to get an IR
helicopter airborne using the capture prog. It seems that
the codes for takeoff were changing at each capture, making
a simple replay prog ineffective.

Ok, been reading for a couple hours about this. I've not found an app yet for the psp that will describe as you said, 'capture and replay input'. I've heard of an ir learner but after googling, I don't guess one exists for PSP.

I'd be happy just getting my TV turned with the psp. I haven't seen any rdf's but I don't really care. I'd rather go about this the hard way, as in, studying the IR technologies and applying them to this so I learn more.

Is there an app already coded that will relay my ir remote's data to the tv? I'd be sort of interested in doing this myself since Lua's involved and I hear it's not too bad to learn compared to other languages but if there is an app already made for this, then it just defies the point of making another.

dont know of any off-the-shelf homebrew that does irda
replay from a file, but you can use the capture file from the prog
at the start of this thread in a Lua app. The replay Script is
very straightforward, probbly no more than 10 lines of code,
so itd make a decent Lua project#1 .. & I'm sure theres
others thatd find it useful, & Lua coders around here to help
get it working (I know of at least one..)

HEY! Who revived the crusty, 2-year-old thread?

A crusty 2-year-old ?

??? i don't know LUA so
thats the problem
maybe i should learn

I had to laugh at that.

Interesting, we still can't learn IR signals from other devices, can't we?

[Codaz]

Nope, we should develop such a program. Only, the skills aren't there to make it.

Maybe a port of a PDA program ?

They CAN capture IrDA signals and make a tv remote of it to copy to an universal remote.
