Blaster (IR-Click®)

This is a test project to demonstrate using Core Independent Peripherals (CIP) to modulate an infrared signal and reproduce a typical IR remote control transmission. This demo reproduces the Apple (new) IR remote control.

• Device: PIC16F1709 (any other PIC16F1 featuring PPS and CLC)
• Board: PICDEM® Low Pin Count or Simplicity
• Debugger: PICkit® 3
• IR Click® board

The Basic Idea

• Use TMR2 + PWM2 to generate a carrier at 38kHz.
• Use TMR1 and CLC1 to modulate the carrier using the NEC RC protocol.
• Drive the IR Click board output (PWM pin)

Limitations

• If the PICDEM LPC / Simplicity board is powered by the PICkit 3, the transmission will have a minimal range (point directly at the receiver)
