A IR remote - USB keyboard for XBMC
Hi, i'm sharing this project becuse it has become realy useful for me.(and it was easy and fun to build).And like i was not able to find some project that do this (now i have found some) i had to build it myself.
It's basic a Infra red remote controler for PCs. It decodes IR signals and emulates key presses on a PC. It is recognized as a USB keyboard , so it needs no programs running in background, just plug and play.
It is compatible with Sony SIRC 20 bit protocol,works with my LG and SKY universal remotes when they are configured as Sony DVD.Changing this protocol shouldn't be to hard for someone with a little programing skill.
The keystrokes it send are configured to work with XBMC Media Center software.But it is easy to change the keys pres it emulate.
Just two things:
I'm not responsible for any kind of damage resulted from this project,if you would like to use it, do it on your on.
Don't sell this to anyone without consult me.
PARTS LIST:
3mm LED
PIC18F2550-I/SO
TSOP6238TR (IR Receiver 38KHz)
20MHz Crystal
22pF 0805 x2
1uF 0805 16V x2
330R 0805 x1
Just a mirror for project files:

It started on a bread board , show in image, while i was just playing aroun with a PIC 18F and usb. RS232 was utilized to decode the remote controller protocol,old source code with this function its on the rar file.
Thanks to microchip USB example code,emulating was already done, just lik both programs.

How can I change the codes to make it work with a DirecTV remote?
I wouldn't be hard to change a little this routine to your remote.
so that it gets easier to build
I'd like to modify it to use RF instead of IR.. (I have a harmony rf remote).. how complex is that?
Like for accurate example

Kindly tell a method rather than this include PIC OR ATMEL OR ANY AVR
i am looking for this.
PC power down it's easy, but i use the power button to send a 's' key press, it's safer to use the XBMC menu to power-off.
