base. In this case, the time per division is 3 ms. Normally there are 50 data points per
division, now there are 150 per division.
As you can see from Figure 7-9, we have modulated the IR signal to the IR LED. This
created a pulse train on the output of the IR detector.
The first pulse is 3 ms; this can be used as a start bit. Every pulse after this start bit is one
ACTIVITY #2: DECODING INFRARED REMOTE CONTROL SIGNALS
In this activity we will not use the infrared LED in the circuit, only the detector. The IR
LED will in effect be disabled, because the program in this activity does not send voltage
to pin 7 where it is connected. Instead, this Activity uses a handheld remote control as an
infrared emitter.
Additional Required Parts
(1) Universal programmable infrared remote control, programmable for Sony TV’s.

Under the Cursors tab, set the first Cursor Settings switch to Vertical Bars.
Use the cursors to measure the pulse widths.
Program your remote to be Sony compatible by following the manufacturer’s
