A good boss knows the importance of authoritative posture and fashion. Nate begins this briefing with a classic “heavy-metal-guitar-stance”, while a black over gray T-shirt ensemble rounds out his signature Head Banger In Charge image. “Any questions? I didn’t think so…”

Acceptance Post: Thanks guys! Since it IS “The Season”… I’ll just add something to it and pass it on to a more needy nerd, lol. I’m sure I can find a local electronics class or Boy Scout troop that will put it to good use. Merry Christmas!

Finally got this LED working with a PIC18F running at 8MHz. But you don’t have many clock cycles left over to play with, since each instruction takes 0.5uS and the recommended bit period is just 1.25uS (T-Hi + T-Lo). One nice feature is that the data stays latched (even with power off I believe) so you don’t have to constantly refresh the data.

Yes, it appears to be NEC format. Sync (Header) followed by 32 bits. The first 8 bits are the “Custom Code”; followed by 8 bits “Inverted Custom Code”; the third 8 bits are the “Data Code”; followed by the 8 bits “Inverted Data Code”.
No public wish lists :(
