    Ici2 page 4 ici2 introduction welcome to the ici2 kit (and if you don’t have the time, wired and tested). We will give you an overview of ir remote controls and how they typically work and also how this kit works to help you understand what you’re building. Virtually any modern day consumer audio or...

    Ici2 page 5 ici2 theory of operation the ici2 may look quite simple, but there is actually quite a lot to it inside the parts. Many items are inside the ir receiver part (u4) that if built up with dis- crete components would never fit in this little kit case! Inside this part there is an ir detector...

    Ici2 page 6 an interesting thing is that most remote controls send a unique first code that can be identified for each and every button, as well as each and every remote control. Some remotes will send a full data stream over and over as long as you hold the button down, up to 48 bits per data strea...

    Ici2 page 15 you have already programmed the 0,0 state so let’s get to work on the re- maining three states. Move the jumper in the sel 0 connection so that it is only connected to one pin, offset such that it will not make contact with the other pin in order to set the associated jumper with the lo...

Solution: there is a lot that can go wrong here, so we will go from the most likely to the least. 1. You forgot to turn on the power or your dc adapter isn’t compatible (the polarity is reversed). 2. You...
