Hi Jim, I was referring to the documentation which is what appears confusing as the following 'write' command appears just before the description on reading the IR code. According to the documentation: "Reading is slightly different in that, first a command is given as in the writing mode and then a read is performed using the device read address (0x25 in 8 bit addressing)", so I asby swinfen - Serial & I2C Devices
Thanks Jim. I guess I'm to infer that sending a command (what does <esc>[k do anyway?!) will overwrite the high byte that would otherwise have held the status bit from the IR read? Will try it later. I guess in this case one should ignore any code with 0x1b in the high byte! This module would be much more useful if it decoded other protocol standards, such as NEC! I think I'll just wby swinfen - Serial & I2C Devices
Hi there, Anyone used this device? I've hooked it up to a PIC16 via I2C. I can retrieve the firmware '1a' and the IR code, but the 'high' byte that contains the important 'valid' bit seems to always be 0x1b 'esc'. I wonder if there is a firmware issue? Any ideas welcome!
