Hi everyone,

I have a module IRTrans RS232 then I want to inteface it directly to my micro-controller. So I wonder if I could save the complete communication file btw the irserver and the module sothat I cand detect the protocol and use this protocol to send the same commands from my micro-controller to the module? I'm working on WIndows, then how can I use the command like? Do I have to install the software under linux?

Thank you!

Hi,
that will be very complicated.

We do not have any documentation of that protocol. Furthermore it might change with new firmware versions.

We would suggest to use the IRTrans Mediacontroller. It has got a very simple ASCII protocol.

I've read in your document that I can save all the communications in .hex format or in .txt format. That's the reason that I bought 3 modules in hoping that I could use some simple commands to control the air-conditionner from my micro-controller via modle IRTrans.

You can use the -hexdump option of the irserver to do that.

If you have that data you can resend it to the IRTrans device, however it is very time consuming to record all the needed IR codes.

Thank you for you info. In my project, I need only 4 IR Codes.

Hi,
either change the irtranstray.exe startup link in the Start menu or open a command window (DOS Box), make a cd to the installation folder and type in the startup string.

Sorry but in Windows I cant file the log file though I used explicitly -hexfile option. How can I make this file appear?

You will need to use the -logfile <file> option.
