Hi,

I have occasionally seen discussions here about IR transmission,
and I posted a long whine here a while back about how hard it is
to obtain the protocols for IR remote control transmission.

I decided that it was not really a robotics issue anymore, so I
moved my posts to sci.electronics and rec.video. Still, I thought
that some people here might be interested.

I created a summary of known protocols, hoping (so far naively)
that it would provoke anyone who has deciphered more protocols
to add them to the list. This summary is probably going to end
up at bode.ee.ualberta.ca, in pub/cookbook/optic.

If you want it now, it's been posted in sci.electronics, under
subject heading "infrared remote [...something or other...].
Note, anyone who says it's been done before is bullshitting.
Only the Sony protocol has been covered (on the net), at least
as far as I know.

This is my final plea... if you know the details of any
signalling protocol used for remote IR transmission, that
is not covered in the above mentioned document, please
arrange to add your findings to it by emailing me soon.
