The prize this week will provide you lots of rubber band fun, it needs a few servos to make it real fun though. 🙂 This week we have an old piece of equipment which might be hard to identify, lets see if anyone can identify it! This contest will run for one week (June 27 – July 2, 2009) . Ending time is based on central standard time. To enter,
ElectronicsNerd shows us how to reverse engineer an IR remote control signal. By understanding what type of signal is being transmitted out of the remote control allows a microcontroller to simulate the code to control the Hampton Bay Air Conditioner. "In the NEC protocol, the initial start pulse prepares the receiver IC for a data transmission at a particular rate, adjusting its AGC circuitry for the signal level excursions
