Arduino as an IR Remote

Post by scnelson225 »

I am working on a project to use an Arduino device to remotely control a Sharp 13k-m100 TV. I will be using an Ethernet Shield, IR LED, and an Arduino board that I have not decided on yet. I have been searching for IR protocol of Sharp Televisions and it is very difficult to find. I have only found libraries that contain protocols NEC, Sony SIRC, Phillips RC5 and RC6, and others but none that include Sharp. I read that Sharp protocol is similar to NEC, but no other information.

Are there any libraries that exist for this purpose? If not, I understand there must be a way to figure out the IR signals without knowing the protocol.

Which Arduino board would be the best to use for this purpose? (Uno, mega 2560, Due, Leonardo).

There are programs for the arduino that allow you to read the codes sent by an IR remote and convert them into code. There is also a tutorial here somewhere that explains it all but I have to search for it every time I want to look at it.
