Flipper Zero support added to AnalysIR

We are delighted to announce that our industry leading AnalysIR application now includes support for Flipper Zero. Features include capturing signals into AnalysIR over Serial USB via the CLI, Manually importing of single and bulk signals in Flipper Zero Format, manually exporting of Infrared signals into Flipper Zero format for control of the target device. This update greatly enhances the capability of Flipper Zeros devices who also have a registered copy of AnalysIR.

Getting the AnalysIR Update

Existing owners of AnalysIR (All Editions) can request the updated version by emailing your support contact using your registration email address. New owners of AnalysIR will be sent the updated version after Registration. When using with AnalysIR, users can reverse engineer signals, convert to a wide range of industry formats and auto-correct IR signal timings using our signal ‘Clean’ feature.

LearnIR vs Flipper Zero

As existing users will know LearnIR is far superior and better value for IR dedicated tasks compared to the Flipper Zero. Similarly all of our IR modules and shields use higher quality components and features than are available on the Flipper Zero. We would also like to thank all of our users who tested this support update with their own devices.

LearnIR Version 2 back in stock

We are excited to announce the immediate Availability of LearnIR Version 2. LearnIR has been out of stock for many months due to the global chip shortage. We have been able to redo the PCB to take advantage of the TQFP footprint (available at only a small premium) vs the QFN footprint (unavailable or very expensive). LearnIR is now positioned as the most advanced Infrared learner for remote control available worldwide and comes at a fraction of the price of its closest competitors. LearnIR V2 is a major upgrade to the previous version with greatly improved firmware and an optional enclosure. It comes with the companion LearnIR Windows application which has also seen some improvements over the previous version. Our new and unique FUZZY Clean technology is included for the first time. The clear enclosure is in a compact and portable thumb-drive form factor and can be attached to a key-ring, lanyard or similar. LearnIR Version 2 also feature an improved micro-controller which allows for future updates and upgrades. Check out the Product Datasheet here. Like all of our Modules is also supported by our flagship application AnalysIR.

Backdoor uPWM Hack on Arduino for Infrared signals using UART

In this blog post we follow up on our recent article about generation of infrared PWM from the Photon’s UART where we suggested that it may be possible to achieve something similar with the Arduino. In our previous attempt the Arduino was only able to generate PWM at 40 kHz and 33 kHz using the same approach. After some investigations we discovered a new approach which provides an even better set of results using the Arduino’s USART. Yes, we were able to generate 30, 33, 36, 38, 40 , 56 and surprisingly the illusive 455 kHz which was not possible on the Photon (using this approach). Read on for the details. Readers should also study our original series of articles on ‘softPWM‘ for a better understanding of the source code which can be downloaded below.

AnalysIR supports PSOC 4 from Cypress

AnalysIR now provides support for the PSOC 4 Prototyping kit from Cypress. Effective immediately users of AnalysIR can use the kit to act as an Infrared source for AnalysIR. The PSOC 4 Prototyping kits are available from Cypress and via their global distributors for just US$4 plus shipping. To use the kit with AnalysIR you will also need an IR Receiver and an optional IR Learner, which can also be purchased with AnalysIR. Initially, the PSOC Firmware is available on request and will be included as part of the installation package in a future release.
