How do I add new TV codes? And how to get them?

Post by lötkolben »

I get most annoyed by TVs in restaurants. Looks like an interesting product to me. However, I would use it probably only in China and therefore will encounter local brands such as Konka, Haier etc.

Just in case they use their own code, can I add this code in the firmware myself? How and where?

And how do I get the IR code? (obviously with an IR decoder I guess))

If you have the remotes for those TVs, you can read the IR code with the help of an IR sensor like http://www.adafruit.com/products/157.

http://www.ladyada.net/learn/sensors/ir.html talks about how to use that sensor and an arduino to read in codes.
