Introduction: Clone Infrared Signals With Arduino
This week I used an Arduino and my PC to clone an infrared remote control. I used this to automatically turn on an electric heater every morning so my bedroom is nice and toasty when I wake up!
Download the code: http://www.richardosgood.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/ArduinoInfraredCloner.zip
Much of the Arduino code was borrowed from Adafruit.com's IR Decoder examples. Be sure to check them out if you do a lot of electronics projects!

You don't need a computer to do this, you can just create a timer on the arduino.

Thanks for your silence; Daikin IR Remote Controller
BRC Series is successfully completed. Yours encoder and decoder may have not been
compactable for all Infrared devices. I tried not to be ok. It may have been ok
for one signal one button old fashioned IR Transmitter and Receiver.
Using this method, It will
be passed all over the world. It has some secret. Using 2 resistors and IR Receiver
plug-in to Computer Sound Card Line-in with shareware of Sound. And using
shareware of IR-Protocol Analyst to make comparison on/off or other buttons
step by step, it costs within US$2, use Arduino UNO with Ethernet shield and
scripting, all IR devices would be decoded and encoded with smartphone, Ipad
and Samsung 10.5 touch screen remote control.

Dear Sir or Madam,
Please browse this website for hacking ALL IR Device, it may have been helpful for you for further action.

you posted modified scripts in decoder and play signal, but I found there are two critical bugs in here, The first one is there are no PinMode, the signal could not be sent, the other is string capture in serial monitor is wrong. I debug and send it to you (playsignal1.ino)
Please have a look in decorder, I found the first one raw data is missing in table of decoder. It may have been some bugs in decoder and generate wrong raw data.
Please have checked your provided programs if possible.
I am looking forwards to your earliest reply.
Regards,
Stanley Fong

Hey, Nice job !
I'm trying to use my infrared signals for a remote Control for a TV
Everything is working except that the infrared emitter cannot be placed further than 10cm :/ then the signal sent is ful of errors, any idea why?

Please tell me you use what devices and program working properly with playsignal, I got the data from irdecoder, but playsignal could not be work, please tell me

Hi, I tried your decode program and generated code and place it in playsignal, it doesn't work. Is it suit to decode Daikin air conditioning unit - IR remote control ARC or BRC series, please help, Urgent
