[tuxdroid-user] IR question

[Philippe T. <ph...@te...>]

Hi,

I try to understand how IR reception works.
If I use the kysoh remote control, the tux gets the signals
and its eyes blink as confirmation.
It looks like, from the fw, any RC5 code would be accepted.
But I tried with my tv and tv remote.
The tux can control the tv, so sending RC5 commands.
But my tv remote seems to not be understood by the tux,
no led blinking :-(

But in the fw I didn't see any check on the RC5 address before
the led blink feedback so what does it means?
The tux doesn't see my tv remote at all?

Another question:
RC5 greeting codes are:
addr 0x4 + command random (light level sampling)
addr 0x8 + command random (light level sampling)
addr 0xC + command random (light level sampling)

But couldn't they have bad effects on the devices mapped to those addresses?
addr 0x4 is a Laser Vision Player (?)
addr 0x8 is Sat1, a settopbox I assume
addr 0xC is a CD-Video
We could take some reserved addresses instead: 7, B, D, F, 18, 19, 1B-1F

And what is the addr code sent by the Kysoh remote?
