Infrared

A library for using infrared remote controls with Rust.

Status

The good

• Receiving and decoding signals from remote controls that use the NEC protocol, or the Samsung variant of it, should work
• Transmitting works! see examples/bluepill-tx
• Adding support for more NEC remotes is doable

The bad

• The API is to be considered WIP and will evolve as I add new features and correct all mistakes done by me previously :).
• No tool for capturing remotes yet
• Only supports the NEC protocol

Tested with

• Tested with bluepill board
• Vishay TSOP382 IR receiver
• Various ir leds
• "Special for MP3" and Samsung remotes

How to use it

The examples are the documentation right now.

Near time goals

- Implement support for more remotes of different kinds
- Investigate if the pwm traits from Embedded-hal can be used
- Hw Timer-Capture based example
- Better tracer/capture application so that remotes can be
 cloned easily
- More utilities

Long time goals

USB/Network support to be able to create "universal remote control" types of applications.
