Receiver and "blaster" for IR remote controls

[pythoncoder]

I have updated the micropython_ir library for compatibility with the Pi Pico.

Great news. I've ordered some Vishay TSOP4838's from RS and will give it a go when they arrive tomorrow. I'll let you know how I get on. Thanks.

Hi Peter, I have my TSOP4838 and am trying to test with your library. I'm using Thonny from my main development PC (Windows). I'm trying to run test.py in the ir_rx folder but keep getting an error:-

Code: Select all

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 13, in <module>
ImportError: no module named 'ir_rx'

I assume this is because the library files are not available on the Pico? Do I need to copy the .py files in the ir_rx folder to the Pico first? Can I use Thonny to do that? Sorry, I feel it's such a simple step I'm missing somewhere.

Ok, I've worked it out, it was the "Files View" in Thonny that I was missing. Once that is visible you can right click on a local folder (on your PC) and select "Upload to /"" to copy all the library files in a folder to the Pico.

I got it working nicely now.

I documented the codes produced by a couple of the remotes I found at home. Hopefully useful to someone. PDF downloadable from here :-
