Re: FIRM Pics + Questions

Hi Shane,

As part of the questions are related to my application (IRM).. I'll try
to
answer you:

The signal decoding is now a PC task, inside the IRM application

For the moment the application is compatible only with the remotes using
a
carrier between 30-40KHz. The old ITT ones, using small pulses and no
carrier ar not supported. Anyway, I think that the majority of the
actual
remotes use a carrier.

> 2) Some keys send multi command sequences etc - any problem ?

What do you mean by multi command sequence? Multiple commands transmitted
in
a sequence? If yes, then I'm not aware of such remotes...Anyway, the
application is able then to consider the multicommand sequence as a
single
command, so is not a problem... Please give me more details about this
type
of remotes and I will take care of...

Best regards,
Dan
