Are codes really this complicated?

Post by magician13134 »

It seems to me that the power code system used in the TV-B-Gone kit is really complex. I've read a few things about TV codes (nothing major) and it all looks much simpler.

I guess what I'm asking is, would there be any way to just have a function like this (psuedocode)

Code: Select all

function sendCode(frequency, tvBrand, code){
     someAlgorithmHere;
}
I found this, and it makes it look really simple...

Code: Select all

1	
000 0000
2	
000 0001
3	
000 0010
4	
000 0011
Channel up	
001 0000
Channel down	
001 0001
Power on	
001 0101
Power off	
010 1111
Volume up	
001 0010
Volume down	
001 0011
And this:Image


I don't know, it just seems like the code we use is overly complicated
