Does anybody have any historical information on the WoW IR protocol and and permutations-enhancements? Only think I can find is ~58kHz modulated carrier (that...

While Brian will have the most up to date information on the original protocol, my recollection was the the decoded tone is centered at 1800 Hz. The carrier...

Strange.. I've seen mentioned in various places a carrier of around 56-58khz. The whole "1800Hz tone" is what previously threw me and now uncertainty about the...

No, the information you mentioned is correct, but only when you mention the range. The theoretical carrier from the original circuit was something odd like...

I almost always use 8, 16, or 32 msec as they are easy multiples of my 8KHz interrupt. 16 is my most common, and I use one byte to hold both a "reported to...
