I dont want to use what everyone else is, i like to think of myself as an inventor.<\/p>\n<p>So being into engineering and all, i decided to create my own control system. This is the start. Testing IR coding for my tv.<\/p>\n<p>In the future you can expect Lighting control, AC, PC etc&#8230; from a small device with a LCD (touch screen) &#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Why not simply use whats out there&#8230; mainly because&#8230; i dont trust it and for quality you need to pay $$$$ . Yeah thats 4 dollar signs&#8230; what i want to create can easily run up in the thousands.<\/p>\n<p>Using my new best toy, the XMOS StartKIT, I have designed the IR portion and tested it to my satisfactory. Below is a video of the first working test. <\/p>\n<p>Using only 2 pins from the XMOS board itself. One for UART (RX) and one for IR (output).<\/p>\n<p>The rest of the wires are Power and Ground connections. The little PCB on the breadboard is my very own Breadboard Buddy. Which is a USB to UART with 3.3v and 5v selectable at either rail. On the inner side there are 4 connections. GND, TX, RX and DTR&#8230; <\/p>\n<p>Anyway, enjoy the video \ud83d\ude42 Post some comments if you want.<br \/>\n(watch in fullscreen or youtube for best viewing)<br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"dynexDemo on XMOS\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/lY7I2Qs4MIQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>OK some of you may not know this but im trying to control everything possible in my home.
