Decoding IR Signal
Discussion
I would like to find out the hex codes for an IR remote I have here.
I have contacted the original manufacturers and they were useless.
A Google search has turned up sweet fa with regards to the IR hex codes.
Does anyone know of where I could get hold of a device to do the decoding for me???
Cheers

What you'll need, unless you try looking through other manuals to find out a quick program code, (which you could cross reference to see what else uses the quick code, and then try finding these other items in your original details), is a packet sniffer.
A quick look turns up hundreds of these, but they all seem to be Windows mobile, Symbian, or Linux.
That kinda suggests that there is a way of just asking your PC in XP/Vista etc what it is getting.

Sounds like what I am looking for, just need to find the small shareware app to give me the codes it gets!!A quick look turns up hundreds of these, but they all seem to be Windows mobile, Symbian, or Linux.

It's not that easy mate.
I've been working on this recently for work.
Firstly, you have to have the correct HID device to connect to for the IR on yer pc/laptop.
Then you need to decode the codes coming from the remote.
Unless yer lucky and the remote is phillips based in which case the code is a 4 digit hex code, you'll find the others can be up to 26 hex digits long.
In addition the codes change dependin on if its the first or the second time you've pressed the button in succession.
What device is the remote for?
(Demoralised yet?
