Hallo.
The Mr.Tidy robot comes with a TSOP34836 to control the robot.
How can i communicate with RC5 code to the Robot?
Are there code examples?
Thanks,
Jack.

Hi
The information we have is that DAGU has never used the RC5 protocol.
The TSOP34836 is a generic IR receiver and as far as I can tell it can work with any IR remote control protocol. The protocols are implemented in software and not on the IC.
Since Mr Tidy is essentially and Arduino Mega compatible controller, you can use an Arduino library and reprogram it to "understand" the RC5 protocol.
- You can find the base sample code for Mr Tidy on the Mr Tidy product page http://robosavvy.com/store/mr+tidy
- Information on the different IR protocols and an Arduino Ir library to easily implement RC5 and other protocols can be found here http://www.arcfn.com/2009/08/multi-prot ... brary.html
