A module to parse the NEC IR remote control protocol in Python

IRReceiver

A module to parse the NEC IR remote control protocol in Python

Description

This is a fully tested module that creates a parser for the NEC IR remote control protocol.

The NEC protocol is used by many remotes, you can read about it here.

NOTE: Although there is an example of this sketch that is made for the Raspberry PI, it is unlikely to work. The Raspberry Pi does not have a real time operating system and in my testing this did not work reliably.

Dependencies

• This project has no external dependencies but the example code does depend on being run on a Raspberry Pi.
• All code follows PEP 8 and is run through YAPF before it is committed

Tested On

• A Raspberry Pi (first generation)
• A Yamaha MRX-90M remote

To Install

• pip install irreceiver

To Use

• An example file can be found in the examples directory.
• Here is a basic example of decoding an list of IR timing pulses:

from irreceiver import NecDecoder
decoder = NecDecoder()
# PULSES should be a list of IR pulse timings
message = decoder.decode(PULSES)
# Message will be a number such as 0x00AD where the first byte 00 is the address and the second byte AD is the command 

Project Structure

Directory structure should be clear. All code is in the irreceiver directory.
