Serial Communication via 38khz IR Carrier using DSM
PostPosted: Fri Apr 26, 2013 8:20 pm     Reply with quote

Below you will see the send and receive code that allows you to send serial data via infrared (IR) using a 38khz carrier wave and a typical 38khz IR receiver to capture the signal.

The key element here is the Data Signal Modulator (DSM) that is part of some PIC chips, in this case the 16F1825, that allows you to generate a carrier with the PWM module and then modulate it with the UART transmit signal. The only external parts needed are the IR LED and a transistor to drive it. I added some push buttons for testing.

CCS does not support the DSM for this part yet but it's really easy to set the registers to make this work. For details please see the comments in the code.

The receiver uses the same PIC, even though any with builtin UART will do. I'm using the sisr.c code from CCS to power my interrupt-driven receive buffer. That code is left out, per CCS rules, but you should be able to figure out how to put it back in.

I've run this up to 4800 baud 6 inches apart with the one T1 IR LED without problems. The same LED at 2400 baud goes about 10 feet just fine.

The DSM module is available in the following parts that I've been able to find so far:
    12F18xx and 16F18xx
    18LFxxK80 family - but can't program with PicKit 2, need PicKit 3
    18F97J94 family
    24FJ64/128GA306/308/310 <- supported by PCD 4.135

Let me know if you find any others.

Enjoy!
