Alright, here is what I'm coming up with:
we all know that most IR remote, if not all IR remotes works by the "lights on/lights-off" "principle", be the actual implementation “measuring” interval or space between 2 "ons" (or two offs), or demodulating one consistent on (or off) for a specific period of time as on (or off).
So if I were to record practically any remote in the world, all I got do is have a receiver-diode hooked to a MCU, read the port as frequent as possible, then record exactly when the target remote was switched on and off, so I imagine I can store a "time table" in the MCU and it will be something like:
22H STRT
24H 0015 (ms)
26H 0030 (ms)
...36H END
To be more specific, if there's a rise edge or a fall edge detected, the MCU will record it and store it in the RAM (and finally write back to ROM), if there is none, then no action will be taken, and since I'm measuring as fast as possible, there is just no way an edge will be ignored or missed.
So when I play it back, I just light up and choke off a IR LED with the same on-off sequence.Is this possible?
Also, shall I USE STM32 or MSP430? I want the power consumption to be as low as possible, I'm looking at something like a button cell last at least 6 months.
