Split 'IR codes' code from hardware code

[frawau]

Hi There,

This looks like a really great library.

I was wondering.

Is there a way to split this library so I could get all the IR code goodies without having to rely on the Arduino hardware?

Essentially I would like to get the library to output something like a list of space and mark timings so I can process that into something I can send to an Broadlink IR device for instance.

The IR part could then be compiled on various devices without the need for hardware.

Are you aware if someone has done that already?

TIA

There is some tools you can use, see https://github.com/crankyoldgit/IRremoteESP8266/tree/master/tools

Be aware that ACs don't have one code per function, but rather keeps state.
Not sure what you would use this for, this protocol implements IR protocols, not specific remotes, so you are looking at an potentially infinitely long list.

You might be better of looking at something like the LIRC database.

Thanks for the reply

I am well aware as to how A/C IR work having myself implemented some Daikin, Panasonic, LG and Sharp A/C with Python. The idea would be to extract essentials info from each A/C (code, temperature range, ...) and generate the code on the fly from , for example, Home Assistant. If I could extract the code generation, it would then be not too complex to get a python library to use it and generate whatever is needed.

IMO this is way better than "learning" every possible combinations of codes. For non A/C codes, irgen is doing an OK job.

You could compile this library as a tool give it parameters, grab output. Unit tests and utilities can be compiled and run on more or less any platform.

Thanks. Yes I'll try that.
