I'd like to develop a Sony Remote Control receive decoder algorithm as a background ISR task using CCP "capture" mode but I'm having a devil of a time trying to locate an IR Detector at Mouser. Some of the ones I've searched for are; GP1U52X, SFH506-36, LT-1059, and TSOP1736....
Can anyone recommend a common and easily obtainable IR Detector that'll work with the Sony 12/15 remotes? Preferrably something I can order from Mouser?
Just take one out of any old VCR, TV, or stereo - they are all essentially the same, or at least close enough to work fine. Check my tutorials for how they connect, and for details of the SIRC's system.
SIRC's is a good choice, as it's simple to decode - I've even got interrupt code somewhere, that a guy emailed me, based on my tutorial.
