Examples

Receive Data

Example to receive data via RC5 encoded IR on an Arduino Uno. RC5 incoming data pin connected to pin D2. If a valid RC5 packet is received then the 8-bit data is sent to the UART to USB converter to be displayed on the PC serial terminal.

RC5 Receive Example

Macro reference

CheckRx

	CheckRx
Checks to see if a new RC5 packet has been received. Returns 0 to signify no new data available. Returns 1 to signify there is new data available.
- BOOL	Return

CollectData

	CollectData
Retreives a value from the last successful RC5 reception. 0 = Read Command 1 = Read Address 2 = Read Toggle Bit
- BYTE	Index
0=Command, 1=Address, 2=ToggleBit
- BYTE	Return

RXDisable

	RXDisable
Disables the RC5 data receive functionality.
- VOID	Return

RXEnable

	RXEnable
Enables the RC5 data receive functionality.
- VOID	Return

TXDisable

	TXDisable
Disables the RC5 data transmit functionality.
- VOID	Return

TXEnable

	TXEnable
Enables the RC5 data transmit functionality.
- VOID	Return

TXPacket

	TXPacket
Transmits a RC5 data packet consisting of command, address and toggle bit.
- BYTE	command
Command to send 0-63
- BYTE	address
Address to send 0-31
- BYTE	toggle
Toggle bit value 0-1
- VOID	Return

Property reference

	Properties
	IR Frequency
The infra-red modulation frequency used when transmitting a logic one.
	Pulse Time
Time for the pulse to be high or low in microseconds
	Timer
	Timer
Timer Peripheral to use to monitor the passage of time.
	Bit Depth
Number of bits in the timer peripheral. 8-bit timers can count from 0-255 before overflowing. 16-bit timers can count from 0 to 65535 before overflowing.
	Auto Calculate

	Receive Properties
	Receive Mode
Specifies which receive mode the program should use.
	Samples
Number of samples to take per bit. Bit time is 889 uS. The higher the number the less prone to errors but the faster the micro has to interrupt and spend processing the wave.
	Invert Signal
Allows the incoming signal to automatically be inverted if needed by the receive hardware.
	Address Mask
What incoming values should we allow to make it through to the CheckRx macro.
	Receive Pin
Pin assigned to receive incoming RC5 data
	Transmit Properties
	Transmit Mode
Specifies which transmit mode the program should use.
	Transmit Pin
Pin assigned to transmit outgoing RC5 data
