Step 4PROGRAM THE REMOTE
.
Any universal IR remote control will work with the PICAXE. All you need to do is program it for use with a Sony television. I used a cheap RCA universal remote I picked up at Wal Mart for less that $10.00. The Sony code I used was 218. Most remotes I checked only had two sets of codes for Sony televisions so if one does not work try the other one. I used the center Channel Up and Volume down and up buttons to control my socbot but you can use whatever buttons you want. Just look up the code for the buttons on the PICAXE web site or use the debug code command and our computer to check the code sent by each button on your remote.
My Remote:
Volume Down - turn left (only left side motor on)
Channel Up - go forward (both motors on)
Volume Up - turn right (only right side motor on)
