InfraRed and AVR interface?

Development Boards MicroMod

Hi!

I’m working on a new project which will include a PC remote control. The remote will send commands to an AVR, along with a buttons panel which will have limited but similar features to the remote.

The AVR will then pass on the commnds to a PC application, and the application will decide what to do.

My question is, how do I create the IR-AVR interface? I’ve tried searching Google but most of that brings up un-related things, or not detailed projcts.

If you could explin or forward me to some source I’ll be greatful! Thanks in advance!

I developed a two-way IR interface for an AVR - 2313.

Used a $3 Sharp IR receiver. And an ordinary IR diode for sending. Lots of time went into cramming all this into a 2313 with small RAM.

Has PC interface. PC demo software.

There are several other AVR IR projects there too.

easier: buy an IRman and connect it to the serial port of an AVR or PC.
